Q: Why do I get DCE/RPC errors (RPC exceptions) during the
configuration stage?
A: In addition to these errors, there is a 10+ minute hang at the end of
the SD configure stage and a failure message appears at the end of
the installation.
There is an apparent problem with certain SD operations (for example,
swacl) when only loopback networking is enabled. This occurs if the
media-only installation option is selected. The workaround is to
install using the "media with networking enabled" option and set up
these networking parameters: host name, IP address, netmask,
routing, etc. This allows the Software Distributor operations to
complete normally.

Q: How can I put an operating system archive on multiple CDs?
A: If the archive you want to put onto a CD is too large, you should
consider using a DVD instead. If your system only has a CD writer
you should then consider creating multiple independent archives each
of which fits on a CD.
The first archive should contain the core HP-UX directories; the
remaining archives would contain the rest of the system. Use the
following procedure to create these archives:
- Determine what large (non-essential) directories can be omitted
from the core operating system archive, and included it subsequent
archives. In this example, we are assuming that the /opt directory
will be put into a second archive. It may require some trial and
error to exclude enough data to make an archive small enough to fit
on the CD. In addition, keep in mind that the LIF data on the
first CD requires space.
- Create the first core operating system archive, use the
make_sys_image command and use the -f option to specify a file that
contains a list of directories that should be excluded. For
example, if you want to exclude /opt from the archive, create a
file (/tmp/specific_files) that contains:
+ NO_ARCHIVE
/opt
