Installing HP-UX Applications
Your HP-UX 11i v2 media kit contains the HP-UX Applications DVD.
The Applications DVD has optional development tools and system
management software that you can choose to install as new to update
existing software on your system.
You can choose to install HP-UX applications on your system in one of
two ways:
• “Option 1: Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD” on
page 136
You must mount the DVD as a filesystem that HP-UX 11i v2 can
access.
• “Option 2: Installing HP-UX Applications Using Ignite-UX” on
page 138
You can use the Ignite-UX utility to install HP-UX applications on
systems using a local mount directory, or over a network using an
Ignite-UX server. Ignite-UX is an HP-UX product that facilitates
installing and configuring HP-UX systems.
TIP You can find the complete list of applications included in the HP-UX 11i
v2 release in the HP Application Availability Matrix:
