How to Install Optional Software Products
The Applications DVD that is distributed with HP-UX 11i Version 1.5
contains optional development tools and system management software.
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 must be booted in order to install optional
software products. The following is the procedure for installing products
from the Applications DVD.
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.
To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 can access.
a. Determine the DVD-ROM device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices,
including the DVD-ROM. The following sample output shows a
DVD-ROM on cabinet 0 whose device name is /dev/dsk/c1t0d0.
disk 4 4/2/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX will use as an access
point for the DVD. Often a /CDROM directory is used. If this
directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir /CDROM
command.
c. Use the mount command to mount the DVD.
Using the mount command, specify the DVD-ROM device name
and mount point. For example, the following command mounts the
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /CDROM directory.
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /CDROM
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. Use swinstall to install software from the Application DVD.
