Installing the Software
Skip this section if you ordered product option 0D1—preinstallation.
1. To install the software from the installation media, enter the following command:
swinstall
2. Choose the appropriate Source Depot Type (for example, Local CD, Local tape, Local
Directory, Network Directory/CDROM).
3. Choose Source Host Name.
4. Choose Source Depot Path. If you do not know the exact path, you can click the Source
Depot Path button to display a list of valid choices.
5. Highlight the HP APA software:
J4240AA
6. Choose Mark for Install from the Actions menu.
7. Choose Install from the Actions menu to begin product installation and to display the Install
Analysis window.
8. Click OK in the Install Analysis window when the Status field displays a Ready message.
9. Click YES at the Confirmation window to confirm that you want to install the software. The
swinstall command loads the fileset, runs the control scripts for the filesets, and builds
the kernel. The estimated time for processing is 3 to 5 minutes depending on the complexity
of your system. When the status field indicates Ready, a Note window opens. Click OK on
the Note window to reboot the system.
NOTE: You must reboot the system after the software installation to configure HP APA
into the kernel.
After you have installed HP APA, it will be in MANUAL port configuration mode until you
configure it to aggregate eligible ports.
See swinstall(1M) for more information.
