The swinstall program presents an interface for selecting and
installing software from the DVD.
Step 5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM
drive. The DVD is automatically unmounted whenever the server
reboots.
Use the umount command to unmount the DVD. For example,
umount /cdrom will unmount the /cdrom file system. See the umount
(1M) manpage for details.
Using Ignite-UX
You can use the Ignite-UX utility to install HP-UX applications on
systems using a local mount directory, or over a network using an
Ignite-UX server. Ignite-UX is an HP-UX product that facilitates
installing and configuring HP-UX systems.
See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for detailed instructions on how
to install HP-UX applications. It is on the Instant Information DVD and
on the web:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11v2
Ignite-UX can address your need to perform system installations and
deployment, often on a large scale. With Ignite-UX, you can do the
following:
• Create and reuse standard system configurations.
• Archive a standard system configuration and use that archive to
replicate systems in far less time than with other methods.
• Create customized processes to allow interactive and unattended
installs.
• Recover OS and applications more easily after crashes and hardware
failures.
For example, you can install the Ignite-UX utilities to install HP-UX and
applications on other systems:
1. Mount the HP-UX 11i v2 DVD containing Ignite-UX (mount point is
assumed here to be /
cdrom
) and enter the command:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /
cdrom
