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 112.
As root, follow this procedure to create a network depot from the HP-UX
11i v2 DVD onto a depot server or other system running HP-UX 11i v2 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 to either 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 v2 DVD into the drive.
Step 4. Find the DVD-ROM device file name:
ioscan -C disk -f -n | more
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 is a typical device name.
Step 5. Create the directory under root(/):
mkdir /dvdrom
Step 6. Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
