Problems Reading HP-UX 11i v1 DVD Media

The HP-UX 11i v1 DVD media contain large volumes of data that

may cause your DVD device to fail while reading the DVD media

contents. This particularly affects you if you use Update-UX or

other Software Distributor (SD) tools. For example, you may

encounter similar error messages if you attempt to read DVD

media with a large volume of data from Update-UX:

ERROR: File "/dvd/catalog/SOE/SOE.2/INFO": No such file or direc-

tory(2). Cannot copy it to file

"/var/tmp/BAAa04482/catalog/SOE/SOE.2/INFO".

ERROR: File "/var/tmp/BAAa04482/catalog/SOE/SOE.2/INFO" does not

exist.

ERROR: The catalog files for product "SOE,r=B.11.11" failed to

load. Check the above output for details.

ERROR: Cannot continue the Analysis Phase until the previous

errors " are corrected.

To resolve this problem, do one of the following:

• install the appropriate patches listed below before you

update to the latest version of HP-UX 11i v1 (recommended),

•use the pfs_mount (1M) command to mount the DVD.
