installation of HP UX fails

Huynh_5 — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 02:44:12 GMT

Hi all,

I've been stuck for days about an installation of HP-UX 11iv1.

The objective is to make a depot from a HP-UX CD on server1, and to install this depot on server2.

This is how I proceeded.
On server1:
- create the depot using "swcopy -s /cdrom \* @ /tmp/hpux11.11"
- point to the depot using "make_config -s /tmp/hpux11.11 -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_cfg"
- add a reference in the INDEX file using "manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_cfg"

On server2:
- reboot and type "boot lan.IP_adress_server1 install"
- it installs HP-UX but... then I have 88 errors!!!

here is what I get in the attached text file (it's quite long but it's the same error: file could not be found).

Thanks for any help.

-Diane

Hi Diane,

Check your /etc/hosts file. It should be something like this:

...
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
...

...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I check the /etc/hosts file on Server1:
it did have the localhost part but it didn't have the address of Server2.

I added the remote server, and did it all over again, but without success, still the same error of file not found.

I don't know what to do anymore :(

Thanks,
-Diane

Hi Diane,

From Server1, can you ping Server2? Try it:

Server1# ping Server2

Hi Diane

i have gone through your logs...

and i have checked with my server (i'm not using it as a depot) i found there are some files mising in my server also... the files in /usr/newconfig/usr/ccs/lbin are not there so it may be that both of have selected most of the options same during the installation.

so check you server for the files listed in the log ...

if it a new server you may be selecting minimal installation option are relevant hp option durig installaton check this things if it is missing try to go for full installation and add the needed packets for making it as a depot...

Your installation in server1 is not still completed.
