Problems Reading HP-UX 11i v1 DVD Media
Appendix B 163
Problems Reading HP-UX 11i v1 DVD Media
The HP-UX 11i v1 DVD media contains large volumes of data that may
cause your DVD device to fail while reading the DVD media contents
during an update. 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
directory(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:
• For HP-UX 11.00 or 11.11, install the appropriate patches listed in
this section before you update to the latest version of HP-UX 11i v1
(recommended).
• For HP-UX 10.20, use the pfs_mount (1M) command to mount the
DVD.
To patch your system, use the following patches (patch descriptions are
in parentheses) for your current OS version:
NOTE The listed HP-UX 11i v1 patches are included in the December 2003 (and
later) version of the HP-UX 11i v1 install kernel. If you are planning to
cold-install HP-UX 11i v1 (December 2003 or later), you do not need to
install these patches.
