Installing the Software

Skip this section if you ordered product option 0D1—preinstallation.

1.To install the software from the installation media, enter the following command: swinstall

2.Choose the appropriate Source Depot Type (for example, Local CD, Local tape, Local Directory, Network Directory/CDROM).

3.Choose Source Host Name.

4.Choose Source Depot Path. If you do not know the exact path, you can click the Source Depot Path button to display a list of valid choices.

5.Highlight the HP APA software:

J4240AA

6.Choose Mark for Install from the Actions menu.

7.Choose Install from the Actions menu to begin product installation and to display the Install Analysis window.

8.Click OK in the Install Analysis window when the Status field displays a Ready message.

9.Click YES at the Confirmation window to confirm that you want to install the software. The swinstall command loads the fileset, runs the control scripts for the filesets, and builds the kernel. The estimated time for processing is 3 to 5 minutes depending on the complexity of your system. When the status field indicates Ready, a Note window opens. Click OK on the Note window to reboot the system.

NOTE: You must reboot the system after the software installation to configure HP APA into the kernel.

After you have installed HP APA, it will be in MANUAL port configuration mode until you configure it to aggregate eligible ports.
