Cold-Install HPUX 11.00 but no SAM

[Donald O'Brien]

I just cold-installed HPUX 11.00 Jun 2002 on a E55. I took defaults on the upgrade with HPUX Minimum English Only.

Everything appeared to go very well, and the system started up with HPUX 11.00 just fine. But when I went to run SAM to configure a lan1 card, it could not find sam. I checked in /usr/sbin and sam was not there.

Do I need to install sam separately? and what changes should I make to my installations to have SAM install automatically in the future?

Thanks for the help.

Generally, sam will be there after your installation. Did you get any error message?

Check the Cold Install Process again from the online doc .. maybe there is something that you've missed.
http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/5187-0151/5187-0151.html
On your system .. run ..
# swlist -l fileset |grep -i systemadmin
to check if the fileset "SystemAdmin" exist or not. If no then it's confirm that SAM somehow did not get installed. The steps to install SAM as follows ..

But I would examine the cold install process that you just went through to make sure it's done right.

Since you did the Minimum install, SAM may not be installed.

See if any of the Sam commands are there, /usr/sam/bin... /usr/sam/lbin...

You want to use the command line to set up your lan card anyway don't you? :-)

It was the minimum install. I later tried the CDE install, and sam was there.

Thanks to all who helped.
