Codewords New Install

Susan Prosser — Fri, 31 May 2002 09:13:06 GMT

Scenario...

Using the Ignite Server "Macduff" I want to - > to Server "Macbeth". (I can get the basic OS etc across - from the depots on Macduff)

But I want to include Mirror-Disk as part of the installation, which is codeword protected software. How can I do this?? Do I need to swcopy the CD onto Macduff??, or do I need to have the CD available?? Then how do I enter the codeword??

PS As I am a european customer - links to info on the US site dont work for me :-(

TIA

You should copy the mirrorux software to a depot first. You will need the codeword once to copy it to a depot, but from now on if you install from the depot now codeword needed!

Even if you want to install it from the source in one go using the codeword the swinstall command supports the -x codeword= option so you can run it on the command line.

oops, that should read once you install from the depot NO codeword is needed.

Kevin,

About the us links, just change 'us' by 'europe' in the url and the link will work.

Hello,
If you have any other machine with the Mirror -Ux installed you can check the

/var/adm/sw/.codewords file for the codewords.

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Copy the Mirror-UX software on the depot on the ignite server. Rebuild the ignite server distribution depot config. Then if you are installing a client, you will not be required to put codewords, you can push the mirrox-UX software alongwith the other bundles to the client from the ignite server.

Hope this helps.
