Installing depot software on CDROM via the network

[Jerome Bellet]

Hello!

Sorry if this question has already been asked a thousand times, but I couldn't find a consise answer.

What's the quickest way to install depot software on several boxes of a network, from a CDROM mounted on one of the boxes?
A short step-by-step guide should be appreciated.

TIA, Jerome

At the system with cdrom drive mount the cdrom

mount /dev/dsk/c#t#d0 /SD_CDROM

Export the mount point

exportfs -iv -o ro /SD_CDROM

Register the depot

swreg -l depot /SD_CDROM

Install on remote system with:

swinstall -s :/SD_CDROM

Hi,

Becarefull with patch installation over the network.
If there are Network or NFS patches, this can cause a problem.

Good Luck
