mounting a cd (11.23 v2) itanium

Chris Fadrowski — Thu, 30 Jun 2005 09:59:36 GMT

I am trying to load on the navisphrere aganet for my clarion disk to a rx4640 IA64 11.23v2 server. I used this command for mounting the disk.

mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c4t0d0 /cdrom

however, i can't run it because HPUX is not recognizing the file NAVIAGNT.DEP;1

is there a patch to solve this rockridge extension senerio?

Different mounting instructions will solve this issue.

This website has the info:

Click my post, there is a script attached that does the job.

Usually I just post the code, but my code is locked in a shipping container and all I have right now is an Ignite backup.

I am still getting this;

dr-xr-xr-x 1 -1 -1 2048 Jul 19 2002 ./
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 8192 Jun 28 14:41 ../
-r-xr-xr-x 1 -1 -1 24524800 Jul 18 2002 NAVIAGNT.DEP;1*

swinstall will not recognize the .DEP;1*

okay, i got it to use

naviagnt.dep*

but swinstall will still not see this as a depot file.

A depot file is nothing but a tar collection. Use tar tvf to list the contents. If that fails, then contact the manufacturer to see if any of their software is compatible with HP-UX. This isn't a mount issue (which only affects the visible names). The UPPERCASE and ;1 characters are just the ISO 9660 names.

Hi Chris,

Can you copy the file locally with the different name, Try

# cp "../NAVIAGNT.DEP;1" /tmp/NAVIAGNT.depot

and then use swinstall

Cheers!!!
