Installing Mirrordisk-UX

[Andre Franklin]

I am running into a problem when attempting to install Mirrordisk-UX from disk.

The error I am getting says:
"There is currently no depot software on host "dev01" at location "/dvd". Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/".)

I have specified my path name when I receive this message.

Thanks for your help.

2 questions:

- what was your command line?

- if you have an OS without mirrordisk included - do you have a codeword???

Hi Andre:

# swinstall -s /dvd \*

Regards!

I did not originally use the command line I attempted to do this from SAM.

I tried the commanded listed "swinstall -s /dvd \*" and got the following message.

ERROR: There is currently no deport software on host "dev01" at location "dvd". Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/").

Is there anything at /dvd? Is it mounted?

What does 'ls /dvd' show?

[Kapil Jha]

your /dvd is not mouted or probably you have mounted it smwhere else.
and run the same command it should work, its just its not able to find out the depot via command u passed.

BR,

Is it mounted: Yes

What does 'ls /dvd' show?: The contents of the disk that is loaded in the drive. I can see a directory (b2491ba) which from the table of contents on the disk is Mirrordisk-UX.

Did you apply the codeword?

Kapil:

If I do have it mounted somewhere else how do I verify this? And if so, what do I need to do to correct this problem and Install Mirrordisk-UX.

[Andre Franklin]

I need to know what to do in order to apply the codeword. What are the steps?

[Torsten.]

Just add "-x codeword=123456789abcd..." to your swinstall command and use *your* codeword that you received from HP.

[Andre Franklin]

I typed this command:

swinstall -s /dvd -x codeword="My Codeword".

And I got the following error:

There is currently no depot software on host "dev01" at location "/dvd". Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/").

What's there when you do: ll /dvd
