Updating to HP-UX 11i v2

Chapter 6 111

Task 1: Creating a Network Depot (Optional)

If you want to update other systems on the network then you may 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 without moving media from system to

system.

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

Update-UX Bundle (Required)” on page 113.

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

11i v2 two DVD set onto a depot server or other system running HP-UX

11i v2 in your network:

Step 1. Verify that you have at least 4 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 to either SAM help or Managing Systems

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

Step 2. The HP-UX 11i v2 operating system comes as a two DVD set. Insert the

first DVD into the drive.

Step 3. Find the DVD-ROM device file name:

ioscan -C disk -f -n -k | more

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

Step 4. Create the directory under root(/):

mkdir /dvdrom

Step 5. Mount the first DVD onto the new directory as a file system, for example:

mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom

Step 6. Create the directory that will contain the network depot you want to

create, for example:

mkdir /update
