CIFS client cp cannot access

SO_1 — Mon, 06 Feb 2006 09:44:12 GMT

I want to copy the 4 CD HP-UX 11i on a 11.23 system from my PC cdrom :
I Configured CIFS client on the 11.23 system : OK
I shared the cdrom drive on my PC : OK
I copied the CDs 1of4, 2of4 : OK
I got errors during CD 3of4 copy :
cp: cannot access Perl5-32/PERL-MAN/opt/perl/man/man3/ActivePerl::DocTools::PSP::Socket.3: No such file or directory
cp: cannot access Perl5-32/PERL-MAN/opt/perl/man/man3/ActiveState::RelocateTree.3: No such file or directory
cp: cannot access Perl5-32/PERL-MAN/opt/perl/man/man3/Apache::SOAP.3: No such file or directory
cp: cannot access Perl5-32/PERL-MAN/opt/perl/man/man3/Apache::XMLRPC::Lite.3: No such file or directory
.......
...and more.
I guessed it's something about "::" over CIFS mountpoint.
Any Idea?

Hello,

It could be a problem with filename length. Probably, you can zip the cds and unzip in HP-UX.

Shalom So,

You should not do the copy from a Windows machine.

The errors you are encountering is because the Windows machine did not mount the OS CD correctly.

What you will be left with on the hp side will likely be useless as far as an OS isntall.

What you should do is put it in an HP-9000 server, mount it normally and then to get it to disk, make it an NFS share.

mount the cdrom
vi /etc/exports

add /cdrom

save the file.

exportfs -av

Now mount the filesystem from the remote host and use a cp command to get it from the cd to the system you want it on.

Or, simply mount the cd on one hp-9000 machine and do this on the target machine, the one that you want the os cd saved on:

mkdir /var/hpux/cd4 # your choice
scp -rp hostwithcd:/cdrom/* /var/hpux/cd4

It's a problem between windows & filename with "::"
I will put the CDs in old good hp-ux drived cdrom drive...
