Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD
Before you begin, review Appendix A, “Known Problems and
Troubleshooting,” on page 143 for any installation issues that apply to
your system.
Required Media
Have the HP-UX 11i v3 Applications DVD ready from the HP-UX 11i v3
media kit.
You must boot HP-UX 11i v3 to install HP-UX application software
products. Use the following procedure to install products from the
Applications DVD:
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD drive.
Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.
To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i v3 can access:
a. Determine the DVD device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including
the DVD devices.
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point
for the DVD. Often a /dvdrom directory is used. If this directory does
not exist, create it using the mkdir /dvdrom command.
c. Use the mount command to mount the DVD.
Using the mount command, specify the DVD device name and mount
point. For example, the following command mounts the
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /dvdrom directory:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dvdrom
Refer to the mount (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the
swlist command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
