Installation Notes
Once you have loaded HP-UX DCE Version 2.0 software into a network
distribution area, use the swinstall tool to install appropriate filesets
on individual systems.
The installation procedure invokes swinstall on each target system in
a cell. When installation is complete, you can begin cell configuration, see
Chapter 6, “Configuring HP-UX DCE Cells,” on page 47.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following information.
• You must know the root password for each system in your cell.
• If the system is a functioning DCE server or client, stop the DCE
software.
• Know the name of your network source system, as well as the source
depot path name.
• You must install HP-UX DCE Version 2.0on a long-name file system.
If you have a short-name file system, use the convertfs(1m) utility
to convert it to long names.
Installation Procedure
Perform the following steps to install HP-UX DCE 2.0 software from a
network source area:
1. Log in to the target system as root.
2. Run swinstall:
/usr/sbin/swinstall
The swinstall tool has general and context sensitive help if you
need assistance on making selections, or on entering appropriate
values. Also, see the swinstall (1M) manpage for more information.
3. In the Specify Source window, specify the source host and depot.
4. In the Software Selection window, select the products/bundles you
want to install.
