Installing HPUX 11iv31 from USB Memory Stick

I am trying to get HPUX 11iv31 installed using the USB Memory Stick.

It works great for DVD_1 just fine. When Ignite asks me to insert DVD_2, It fails to see that the DVD_2 iso file is on a new stick that I inserted.  Is there a way out of this or modification I can make. I have a stick that has both DVD_1 and DVD_2 iso files on it.

Its a horrible idea for HP to stop sending dvd media. I like the option of downloading the OS but....due to security reasons we are not allowed to burn our own media any more....

Here is my error sequence below.

    * Installing fileset "utilProvider.UTIL-RUN,r=A.01.08.05.02" (1744 of 2058).
       * Installing fileset "vmGuestLib.GUEST-LIB,r=B.04.20.05" (1745 of 2058).
       * Installing fileset "vmProvider.VM-PROV-CORE,r=B.04.20.05" (1746 of 2058).

Re: Installing HPUX 11iv31 from USB Memory Stick

How about virtual media via ILO?

You may consider to install via ignite server too.


Hope this helps!
