Hello

I check with swlist | grep P on the server i do not have these patches

Does it patche use for ???

[Mel Burslan]

if it is a self-burned copy, all bets are kinda off. What did you use to burn the cd ? Another HPUX machine or copied it using a PC CD-Burner ?

[Alan Vargas]

I used windows aplication
Nero 6 Ultra Edition 6.3.1.6

[Mel Burslan]

Without knowing the nature of the CD, it is hard to tell if it uses rockridge extensions, but if this is a product distribution CD, like oracle or something, you most probably will need rockridge extensions. So, when you have time, install these. It is always good to have these patches.
Your problem here may or may not be related to the patches though.

fstyp -v /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx

What does it tell?? I think, you need to adjust you -F option accordingly.

[Mel Burslan]

Well, Nero is good for burning PC based CDs but in the past, I have seen some CDs which did not work after copying with a PC cd burning application. But again, try the rockridge extensions. They might help. As you know PHKL patches will require a reboot. I hope you can afford some downtime on this machine.

Hello

The cd contain a Data Protector Installation, do you think that i must download the path in orden to install properly ?

Thank again

[Alan Vargas]

Yes I have time maquine for installation, was looking for these patch list that you told me and one of them PHKL_25760 have a warning and hp recommende another one PHKL_32035 (s700_800 11.11 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660 )

Can i used this one ?

[Mel Burslan]

I usually go with what HP recommends as long as it has 2 stars or more. If it has only one star, unless the warning is a critical one, I still go with the old one. But the system is yours to make a judgement decision.

[Bill Hassell]

When a newer patch is recommended, the patch description will explain the reason. NOTE: without these 3 patches, the -orr option will be silently ignored and you'll get ISO9660 standard filenames (8.3 all UPPERCASE). The -ocdcase is no help at all because it simply lowers the case...filenames are still 8.3 characters. Without the patches, your filenames will appear to be truncated (although they were stored in the CD's ISO9660 directory in that form).

CDROMs have many different standards but for CDs created on a PC, make sure you do NOT use the Joliet format. And NEVER burn a CD in the 'append' mode for interchange to other computers. Roxio/Nero software default to RockRidge, but make sure you use 'disc at once' or similar method.

Use the latest patches labeled "Rock Ridge". You'll need all 3.

I think the depot file for Data Protector will be in /cdrom/LOCAL_INSTALL
