Option 1: Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD
You must boot HP-UX 11i v2 to install HP-UX application software
products. Use the following procedure to install products from the
Applications DVD:
Step 1. Insert the Applications DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
Step 2. Mount the Applications DVD.
To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i v2 can access:
a. Determine the DVD device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including
the DVD devices.
b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet
exist.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point
for the DVD. Often a /cdrom directory is used. If this directory does
not exist, create it using the mkdir /cdrom command.
c. Use the mount command to mount the DVD.
Using the mount command, specify the DVD device name and mount
point. For example, the following command mounts the
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /cdrom directory:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /cdrom
Refer to the mount (1M) manpage for details.
Step 3. To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the
swlist command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
