(substitute your release directory if it's different from 11.23). If the make_depots command returns quickly with no errors, the depot already exists on the system.

Procedure

Run the make_depots command below for all DVDs in the OE set. Remember to substitute your device file name and the appropriate release directory (Rel_B.11.xx) for your version of HP-UX.

#/opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 \ -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core_media

You can watch the depot creation process by listing the file /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/ core_media/swagent.log with the following command.

#tail -f /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core_media/swagent.log

The depot will be put in the /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23 directory and will be named core_media.

This process is described fully in the section on installation configurations using Software Distributor (SD-UX)depots in the Ignite-UX Custom Configuration Files web-only document, available at http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/ infolib.html.

The depot we're creating is called core_media in order to distinguish it from other depots of the same HP-UX version. (All depots of the same version are kept in the appropriate Rel_B.xx.xx directory.) Consider naming depots with names that indicate what release of HP-UX the depot contains. This will make the depots easier to identify. For instance, if you are creating a depot for the December 2007 HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE release, you could name the depot core_0712_mc.

Create the HP-UX OE Configuration Information on the Ignite-UX Server

1.Create the configuration file, named core_media_cfg, to describe this HP-UX OE depot, named core_media. In this example we are using HP-UX 11i v2, but this process can easily be customized for any HP-UX release by substituting your release information for the HP-UX 11i v2 information.

If you want more than one configuration available for a version of HP-UX, such as 11i v2 June, 2008 and 11i v2 December, 2007, then each configuration must have a unique name for the configuration file created with make_config in this step and the configuration clause created and modified by manage_index in Step 2.

If you wish, you may safely complete the section “Configure the System as an Ignite-UX Server” (page 14) before this one.
