Quick Start Guide

(substitute your release directory if it's different from 11.23). If the make_depots command
returns quickly with no errors, the depot already exists on the system.
Procedure
Run the make_depots command below for all DVDs in the OE set. Remember to substitute your device file
name and the appropriate release directory (Rel_B.11.xx) for your version of HP-UX.
# /opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 \
-d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core_media
Common Errors
ERROR: swcopy command failed
Diagnosis: Read the file /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core_media/swagent.log to get
a full report of what went wrong.
make_depots: error — cannot stat source depot /dev/dsk/cntndn
make_depots: notice — Ending make_depots due to fatal error
Diagnosis: The wrong device file was used.
Correction: Reissue the make_depots command with the correct device file.

You can watch the depot creation process by listing the file /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/
core_media/swagent.log with the following command.
# tail -f /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core_media/swagent.log
The depot will be put in the /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23 directory and will be named
core_media.
This process is described fully in the section on installation configurations using Software Distributor (SD-UX)
depots in the Ignite-UX Custom Configuration Files web-only document, available at http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/
infolib.html.
The depot we're creating is called core_media in order to distinguish it from other depots of the same HP-UX
version. (All depots of the same version are kept in the appropriate Rel_B.xx.xx directory.) Consider naming
depots with names that indicate what release of HP-UX the depot contains. This will make the depots easier
to identify. For instance, if you are creating a depot for the December 2007 HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE
release, you could name the depot core_0712_mc.
Create the HP-UX OE Configuration Information on the Ignite-UX Server
1. Create the configuration file, named core_media_cfg, to describe this HP-UX OE depot,
named core_media. In this example we are using HP-UX 11i v2, but this process can easily
be customized for any HP-UX release by substituting your release information for the HP-UX
11i v2 information.
If you want more than one configuration available for a version of HP-UX, such as 11i v2
June, 2008 and 11i v2 December, 2007, then each configuration must have a unique name
for the configuration file created with make_config in this step and the configuration
clause created and modified by manage_index in Step 2.
If you wish, you may safely complete the section “Configure the System as an Ignite-UX
Server” (page 14) before this one.
