Quick Start Guide

Consider creating a new file system for /var/opt/ignite. This could keep Ignite-UX from impacting other
applications using /var if it fills /var/opt/ignite with depots and archives. Detailed instructions for this
procedure are found in the HP-UX administration guides listed below, depending on your version of HP-UX.
If you do create a file system for /var/opt/ignite, then you will see it in the bdf listing and will be able
to manage your disk space to a greater level of detail.
For HP-UX 11i v3, see the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide (volume 3): Logical Volume Management. Within
this guide, look for the chapter on administering LVM, and then the section on creating a file system.
For HP-UX 11i v2 and earlier versions, see Managing Systems and Workgroups. Within this guide, look for the
chapter on managing disks and files, and then the section on creating a file system.
Both administration guides are available at http://www.docs.hp.com
See newfs(1M).
See lvcreate(1M).

1. Gain access to the DVD drive on your system. This document assumes the DVD-ROM device
is called /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 – substitute your actual device name throughout this document.
Procedure
a. Use the ioscan command to get the DVD-ROM device name, for example: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0. You are
looking for DVD in the Description column of the ioscan output.
# ioscan -fnkC disk | more
b. Create the device directory:
# mkdir /dvdrom
c. Put the OE DVD in the drive and mount it onto the new directory as a file system. Note that you must
unmount the DVD-ROM with the # umount /dvdrom command before you can extract it from the drive.
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
Common Errors
/dev/rdsk/cntndn is an invalid operand
Diagnosis: The /dev/rdsk device file was used instead of the /dev/dsk device file.
Correction: Reissue the mount command with the /dev/dsk device file.
/dev/dsk/cntndn: unrecognized file system
Diagnosis: The device file name was mistyped.
Correction: Check that the device file was entered correctly.
/dev/dsk/cntndn: I/O error
Diagnosis: The DVD isn't in the drive.
Correction: Insert the OE DVD into the drive.
mount: /dev/dsk/cntndn was either ignored or not found in /etc/fstab
Diagnosis:The mount directory, /dvdrom, was omitted from the mount command.
Correction: Reissue the mount command with the mount directory.
