Common Errors

ERROR: Software “Ignite-UX” was not found on host “system_name:/”.

Diagnosis: Depending on the command you issued, Ignite-UX is not currently installed on the server or it's not on the DVD currently in the drive.

Correction: If Ignite-UX is not installed on the server, continue to the next step. If Ignite-UX is not on the DVD, replace the DVD with another in the media set. Remember to unmount the current DVD in order to extract it from the drive.

ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at “/dvdrom”.

ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host “hostname” at location “/dvdrom”. Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with “/”).

Diagnosis: The DVD is no longer mounted at /dvdrom or you have typed the wrong directory name.

Correction: Check for typos. You can use bdf to check the name of the DVD mount point. If the DVD is not mounted, mount it as described in the previous step.
