Loading HP-UX DCE Software in a Network
Source Area
Before installation of HP-UX DCE Version 2.0 software on a network, the
software typically is transferred from the media on which it was shipped
to a network source area, or depot. This section tells how to perform this
transfer using the swcopy tool.
Before loading HP-UX DCE, you should be aware of the following:
• If you are installing HP-UX DCE 2.0 on a single system, and your
system has access to a media device, you can choose to install
software directly from media. If you want to do this, proceed to
“Installing Software” on page 45.
• If your software was shipped with a codeword certificate, you must
obtain a codeword from Hewlett-Packard before you load the
software into a depot. To obtain a codeword, follow the instructions
on the codeword certificate that was shipped with the CD-ROM disk.
Software Loading Procedure
This section outlines the steps you must follow to load HP-UX DCE 2.0
software into a network source area using the swcopy graphical or
textual user interface.
See Managing HP-UX Software With SD-UX, as well as the swcopy (1M)
manpage, for detailed information on the general process of creating a
network source area, and on the swcopy command-line interface. Also,
the swcopy graphical user interface has general and context sensitive
help if you need assistance in making selections, or in entering
appropriate values.
Perform the following steps to load HP-UX DCE 2.0 software into a
network source area:
1. Load media into the drive.
2. Log in as root.
3. Start /usr/sbin/swcopy.
4. Specify the target depot path in the Select Target Depot Path
popup window.
