Swinstall /lib not on root volume?

Hi,

I have a hardened server (built from doc...
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/operating/infolibrary/whitepapers/building_a_bastion_host.pdf)

I need to install the ibm java kit for the application, I have turned off the S121swagentdk and re-added the S870swagentd to allow me to use swinstall (I have installed other software so I know this bit works!!) When I run the swinstall I get the following error....

NOTE: The command "/etc/mount" exited with a status code of "1". The
following is the output from the command:
mount: /dev/vg01/lvu13 is already mounted on /u13
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol8 is already mounted on /var
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol7 is already mounted on /usr

mount: /dev/vg02/lvora is already mounted on /home/oracle
mount: /dev/vg00/lvol1 is already mounted on /stand
NOTE: End of command output. Non-zero exit status may or may not be
a failure. Look for additional messages.
ERROR: The /lib directory is on a mounted volume. Cannot install
software unless /lib is on the root volume, due to shared
libraries. (They reside in /lib, and must be present for most
HP-UX commands to run.)
ERROR: Cannot continue the Analysis Phase until the previous errors
are corrected.

The /lib directory is on the root volume and is not on a mounted partition?

Anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks in advance,

Colin.

Hi Colin,

ls -l / | grep lib

You'll see that /lib is a symbolic link to /usr/lib. And .... /usr is a seperated FS :(

cd /usr/lib; bdf .

I think you have to wait for the solution until the Bastille quys arrive. Until now you have the answer to you question :(
