HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, December 2005

Using the Applications Media
To install HP SMH and other HP Applications, you must have root privileges. These instructions assume you
are installing from a DVD.
1. Mount the Applications DVD. To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i 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 /cdrom
directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir 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 /cdrom directory: mount
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /cdrom
Refer to the mount(1M) manpage for details.
2. To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the swlist command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
3. Use swinstall to install software from the Applications DVD.
The following example uses swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /cdrom:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom bundlename
Refer to the swinstall(1M) manpage for details.
4. Select and install software from the Applications DVD.
The swinstall program has an interface for selecting and installing software from the DVD.
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 unmounts the /cdrom
file system. Refer to the umount(1M) manpage for details.
TIP After the installation is complete, you can start using HP SMH immediately.
Using Software Depot

download links.
3. Select the Receiver for Free link.

5. Review any installation instructions.
6. Save the bundle to a local directory such as /var/temp.

depot_filename.depot bundlename
