Server has CD-ROM but HP-UX is on DVD
Hi,
I have an RX6600 with a basic CD-ROM but my HP-UX (11 v3) OS installation media is a DVD.
Can someone help me overcome this show stopper ?
Regards,
Yaboto

Re: Server has CD-ROM but HP-UX is on DVD
You really need to purchase a DVD drive for the server. It would be very difficult to convert HP-UX to CD.

Re: Server has CD-ROM but HP-UX is on DVD
I think this server always has a DVD, but you can also use virtual media.
Hope this helps!

Hi Yoboto,
> I have an RX6600 with a basic CD-ROM but my HP-UX (11 v3) OS installation media is a DVD.
- To overcome this problem, you need DVD drive at least to read the 11iv3 media and to make a depot on the network.
If you can make the depot on the network you can access the 11iv3 content over the network and you can initiate the 11iv3 installation over network.
- With CD drive you cannot read the DVD drive it is obvious.
You can check the drive again with this command:
# ioscan -fnC disk
HTH,
Raj.

Re: Server has CD-ROM but HP-UX is on DVD
Are you sure that the drive is only a CD player? The rx6600 is far too new to have a CD player installed by HP and CD media for HP-UX has not been shipped for more than 10 years.
What does ioscan -kfCdisk show?
