Current HP-UX update releases or Prior HP-UX update releases, then navigate
to HP-UX New/Updated product list for the appropriate release date.)
• To minimize the number of required reboots for installation of applications and
patches you can use the same swinstall session.
• For HP applications, documentation exists that explains how to install and use an
application. The documents may include release notes, readme files, CD and DVD
booklets, white papers, and guides. Refer to the Instant Information DVD or go to
the HP Technical Documentation website:

Installing HP-UX Applications from the DVD
Before you begin, review Appendix A (page 107) for any installation issues that apply
to your system.
Required Media
Have the HP-UX 11i v3 Application Software DVD ready from the HP-UX 11i v3 media
kit.
You must boot HP-UX 11i v3 to install HP-UX application software products. Use the
following procedure to install products from the Application Software DVD:
1. Insert the Application Software DVD in the DVD drive.
2. Mount the Application Software DVD.
To install software from the Application Software DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i v3 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 Application Software 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 /dvdrom directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create
it using the mkdir /dvdrom 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 /dvdrom directory:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /dvdrom
Refer to the mount(1M) manpage for details.
