copying of oracle application dvd

[vaman]

I coppied Oracle Application 11i dvds(8) on a hpux server(11.11). I mounted the dvd's on local server & coppied it to a remote server by gtar.
Now the DBA is facing probles installing it.
Is it necessary to mount the dvds by pfs_mount. If yes then any way out to avoid recopy.

Hi,

Did you copy them in the same directory or did you gave each dvd its own directory names as used in the label of the cdrom?

For example

/var/oracds/disk_1
/var/oracds/disk_2
/var/oracds/disk_3

Can you give us a better idea of the errors you're getting?

[vaman]

Yes, BOB, I coppied it in different directries, diff for each dvd.

Hi,

For speed of operation one usually reads the DVD once to harddisk and then NFS mounts that on all other servers. :-)

If there's the directories Disc1, Disc2 and runInstaller is located in Disc1 the DBA should be able to install w/o problems.
after untaring the files there's no need for pfs_mount any more.
