ISO Image Installation

[aan_1]

I try to install the software with iso image format (*.iso) on HP-UX 11.23.
By searching on hp website i found it is possible with following step:

nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=UNIX pathToIso mountPoint

I know that pathToIso is full path of ISO file, but I do not understand the mountPoint parameter.

What is the mountPoint parameter? How I should define it?

Thank in andvanced.

It's the directory on which you mount it.
e.g. mkdir -p test and then
pfs_mount -o xlat=UNIX pathToIso /test

You can also try following.

mount -F iso9660 /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /test

What kind of a software is it?
For hp ux, it has to be a depot. Else, the software should have it's own installer utility-like configure, install script etc.

hp unix understands only the SDUX.

What do you have there?
What are you trying to install?

It is HP TeMIP Fault Statistics software.
it has multiple iso image (4), I think I should find the installation guide for this.
Anyway i have been successfull to mount the image.
In this case should I mount the all iso image in one mountPoint (e.g /test) or multiple mountPoint ?

To see all images at once, you need N mount points.
