HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2010

Table A-2 Known install and update problems (continued)
Description/actionProblem
When executing drd runcmd update-ux using a directory depot (or mounted
media) that resides on the active system image, the command fails with this error:
ERROR: The expected depot does not exist at
"<depot_name>"
What to do
In order to use a directory depot on the active system image, you will need to
install March 2010 (or later) DRD, SWM, and SW-DIST products from an OE
depot. This must be done before the clone is created, so the new DRD, SWM, and
SW-DIST are on the active system and on the clone.
The following assumes the OE depot is at /var/depots/1003-DCOE. This must
be executed as root:
swinstall -x autoselect_dependencies=false \
-s /var/depots/1003-DCOE \
DRD SWM SW-DIST PHCO_36525
drd runcmd update-ux fails
with local source depots
DRD updates directly from March 2010 OE media require a manual chrooted
mount of the first DVD before the DRD update, and a manual umount of the
DVD after the DRD update completes. The umounts and mounts of DVD 2 and
DVD 3 will be done automatically during the update.
What to do
First make sure March 2010 (or later) DRD is installed on the active system and
on the clone. You can install DRD from a March 2010 or later OE depot using a
command like the following. This assumes the OE depot is a DVD mounted at
/cdrom:
swinstall -x autoselect_dependencies=false \
-s /cdrom \
DRD PHCO_36525
To mount the DDV on the clone, complete the following steps. This assumes the
DVD is mounted at /cdrom:
1. Mount the DRD clone:
drd mount
2. Determine the device file for the mounted DVD:
mount | grep /cdrom
3. Unmount the first DVD on the active system, and mount it in the clone.
device_file is the device file path displayed by step 2 above.
/sbin/umount /cdrom
chroot /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001 \
/sbin/fs/fsdaemon –f 1
chroot /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001 \
/sbin/mount device_file /cdrom
4. Do the DRD update:
drd runcmd update-ux -s /cdrom
5. After the DRD update completes, unmount the DVD in the chroot. (The
chroot command is not necessary for this umount, even though the DVD is
still mounted in the chroot. The fsdaemon started in an earlier step does
not need to be stopped; the normal DRD update processes will have already
stopped the fsdaemon.):
/sbin/umount /cdrom
drd runcmd update-ux fails
with multi-DVD source depot
