From HP I received the disks with hp-ux 11.0 application software and the codeword for disk part Number 5012-7952.
How do I have to procede?
Many thanks in adwance

Hi,

Basicly you use swinstall to install software on hp-ux.

Just type swinstall.
Then you follow the screen to search for the software you want to install.

There is also a option to fill in the codeword.

Hi

Make sure that you have the code word and then put cd in drive.

Enter swinstall and select cd rom drive.

Under actions enter the codeword and glanceplus will be available to install.

Highlight it and select action install.

It wll carry out and analysis of your system and then give the install option.

For glance no reboot is required.

Hi Juerg

Check application disk no1 and look at table of contents

Search for glance
cd #2 i think

Put cd into machine

If running HPUX 10.20 you will have to manually mount the cdrom

ioscan -funC disk

look for

disk 5 52.2.0 disc3 CLAIMED DEVICE TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-4101TA
/dev/dsk/c6t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c6t2d0

You then want to do

mount /dev/dsk/c6t2d0 /SD_CDROM

If running 11 the cd will mount automatically

as root run
swinstall
Hit enter on 'source depot type'
choose
local CDROM
goto 'source depot path'
enter /SD_CDROM
Then 'OK'

You will get a list of all software on the CD

You will then have to enter the codeword

shift and tab upto the menu's and go to actions
hit enter then arrow to add new codeword

enter code word

all locked software will now be available

Go to glance in the list

select it with 'space' or 'enter' (can't remember)
once highlighted hit 'm'
this will mark the software
then go back to actions and 'install'
sdux will then verify the software etc
if this passes go to ok
software will install

Hey, dont forget to mount the CD manually. I dont think swinstall mounts it automatically.

ioscan -fknCdisk | grep CD (or grep DVD)
then mount the /dev/dsk/c..... file;

mount /dev/dsk/c.... /SD_CDROM

then run swinstall

[Pete Randall]

Automatic mounting of CD's, in any version, has been on the wish list for as long as I can remember. AFAIK, it has yet to be implemented. Follow the ioscan/mount recommendation - otherwise you could be waiting for several years for your CD to mount.

I'm not sure if swinstall actually mounts the cdrom, but if you choose the "Find Local CD" option and there are depots in the root of the CD, it will see them automatically. I've recently done this with the June 2002 Application release.

On other products, e.g. Command View SDM, you have to mount the CD and then point swinstall to the correct depot. I guess it just depends on whether or not the CD includes code for more than one platform.

[Seth Parker]

I just checked to make sure I wasn't a liar, and what I said above is not quite true! The Application Release CDs don't have depots at the root, but they do mount automatically. Swinstall mounts them at /SD_CDROM.

I tried the Command View SDM CD and it tried to mount it at /SD_CDROM, but it errored out saying there were no depot software at location SD_CDROM.

So, there's obviously something special about the Application Releases. I checked for . files, but didn't see any. Maybe it keys off the CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS?

HI
In swinstall, select option for Local CD and it will mount the local CD.

Then you can see all softwares on CD, install codeword for unlocking Glance and then install it.

I personally would prefer to shutdown measureware, if running, before installing glance.

Thanks.
Prashant.
