Task 1: Creating a Network Depot (Optional)

If you want to update other systems on the network then you must first

create a network depot before you update your system and other

systems.

NOTE This optional step pertains to creating a network depot so you can update

other systems on the network.

If you already have a network depot, go to “Task 2: Installing the Latest

Update-UX Bundle (Required)” on page 100.

As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot from the HP-UX

11i v1 CD or DVD onto a depot server or other system running HP-UX

11i v1 in your network:

Step 1. Verify that you have at least 2 GB of free space to create the network

depot on another system in your network. If this space is not available,

use sam either to create a new volume group or to extend an existing

volume group. For help, refer either to SAM help or Managing Systems

and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators.

Step 2. Log in as root and mount the logical volume on a new directory named

/update.

This directory will hold your network depot.

Step 3. Insert the HP-UX 11i v1 CD or DVD into the drive.

Step 4. Find the CD or DVD device file name:

ioscan -f -C disk | more

/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 is a typical CD device name.

Step 5. Create the directory under root(/):

•CD: mkdir /cdrom

•DVD: mkdir /dvdrom

Step 6. Mount the CD or DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For

example:

•CD: mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

•DVD: mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
