You can ftp the contents of the CD to the server from any windows PC assuming that you have CDROM on windows PC ...

You may mount it to another hp-ux server and swcopy it to a depot - but with a single server without cd-rom no luck.


Since this software must be purchased, there is no free download.

I would get a cd-rom drive.

Hope this helps!

Re: how to install software without CD-ROM

you need to specify the location where you have copied the CD's content using swinstall

like: swinstall -s /tmp/

If you don't have a CD try to ftp file to machine.
After that use swinstall :

swinstall -s /path/file.depot \*
