HP-UX 11i installation

[solaris6]

I installed my C3600 workstation by using the first installation CDROM and could not find the second one. Now I could not start CDE. I installed Ximian GNOME and it did not work either and told me "I couldnot start the X server....rerun the X configuration program."...My problem is I do not have xconfig binary due to the lack of the second installation CD. Any help?
Thanks.

>>I installed my C3600 workstation by using the first installation CDROM and could not find the second one

So you installed using only 1 of 2 required CDs and you expect to have a functioning system?

>>My problem is I do not have xconfig binary due to the lack of the second installation CD.

There is no telling what other binaries are also missing.

The "solution" is to find the 2nd install CD so you can correctly and completely install HP-UX. Otherwise you are just going to be spinning your wheels.

Thank you!
I know the best way is to find the second disc. However, it is a surplus machine and I tried hard without any result. The reason why the Disc 1 is still there because it stayed in the CDROM slot when I found the machine.

HP does not allow installation CDs to be downloaded, and copying them would be a copyright violation.

Fortunately, ownership of a workstation is a valid proof of license, so your only problem is getting a media kit.

Your options are:
- ask from where you got the workstation from
or
- search for HP-UX media kits in eBay etc.

Note that HP-UX "11i" is ambiguous: it may mean either 11i v1 (11.11), 11i v2 (11.23) or 11i v3 (11.31).

Shalom,

You can with sufficient space on another HP-UX system, use swcopy to copy all the contents of both CD's to a shared install point.

But you are going to need that CD.

No downloads allowed.

Do you have a LTU, License to Use your system?

Seems some homework is not done.

If you have a software support agreement you can obtain the second CD/DVD by mail.
