Installing Core OS from Ignite server vs. DVD

[Norman Yamane]

Hello,

I've been testing an Ignite-UX profile where I start by installing HP-UX 11.11 from a depot source on the Ignite server. From the config file:

sw_source "core" {
description = "HP-UX Core Software"
source_format = SD
sd_server = "15.128.169.148"
sd_depot_dir = "/S800/test/"
source_type = "NET"
load_order = 0
}

and everything is fine. Now I want to develop a solution where I can use the DVD media (December 2003 MCOE DVD) instead of the copy I've placed on the server. So the config becomes:

sw_source "core" {
source_type = "DSK"
description = "HP-UX Core Software"
source_format = SD
sd_depot_dir = "/"
load_order = 0
change_media = true
source_path = "/dev/dsk/c3t2d0" # Added for testing... I expect to generate a boot CD later
}

with everything else staying exactly the same.

Now, when I install I get the following output:

* Installing fileset "OS-Core.CORE2-KRN,r=B.11.11" (5 of 801).

When I push a shell, these files are readable from the DVD so I'm not quite sure what's happening here. I've tried upping the debug level to 5 but I don't get any other information than this.

There's not a problem with the contents of the DVD since I re"swcopy"ed the contents on the Ignite server to retest this.

Has anyone else seen this sort of problem of have any idea where this install might be blocking ?

Oh yes, I've got version B.4.2.110 installed but the same thing happens on B.4.3.91 as well.

Cheers,

Hi Michael,

I eventually got it working by changing the version of Ignite-UX I was using. I haven't had the same problem since switching to B.5.4.50

Cheers,

Just a quick question did you have any problems with additional depots.

I have upgraded Ignite and the OS installs fine.

When the Ignite window start I can select my Applications from the additional depots on the DVD.

But when the Install process runs it only installs everything form my OS depot.

I can put everything in this depot but it would be easier if I could I have seprate depots for upgrades.

I included all the depots when I carested the lif voulme so not sure any help would be greafully recieved.

Thanks
Michael
