Create the second DVD

1.Run mkisofs to create the second DVD image (path_to_dvd2image):

#/opt/ignite/lbin/mkisofs -D -r -U -v -max-iso9660-filename \ -o <path_to_dvd2image> <path_to_depot2>

Burn the DVD images and test them

1.Write the ISO images to media as a raw file using open source software such as cdrecord, growisofs, or software included with CD/DVD hardware.

2.Test the DVD images to verify you can boot from the first one, and test that you can use them to install systems successfully.

HP-UX 11i v3 Depot-based installation DVDs

This section describes the differences in the 11i v3 process from the v2 process. (The differences are due to the requirements of the swm (software load) command.)

In order to support the 11i v3 process, the createMediaCatalogs script was added to Ignite-UX starting with the C.7.10 release. The createMediaCatalogs script is found in /opt/ignite/ data/scripts. Detailed usage information is available via

#/opt/ignite/data/scripts/createMediaCatalogs -?

See createMediaCatalogs(1M) and swm(1M) for more information.

See “HP-UX 11i v2 Depot-based installation DVDs” (page 188) for detailed information on this procedure, including command syntax.

To create 11i v3 depot-based DVD media, follow these steps:

1.Use swcopy to create one depot with all the DVD content in it. If you have additional software from other sources, use swcopy to add that to the depot too.

2.Run make_config against the combined depot using the -x no_sd_server option.

3.Use swcopy to create a separate depot for each DVD.

4.Run the createMediaCatalogs script, supplying all the depots as arguments. It's important to list the depot for the first DVD as the first argument.

5.Use make_medialif to create the LIF volume for the first DVD. This step will use the config file you created in step 2.

6.Use mkisofs to create the ISO image for the first DVD.

7.Run instl_combine to position the LIF volume in the install content.

8.For each subsequent DVD, use mkisofs to create the ISO image for each depot.

9.The ISO images may now be burned to DVD and tested.

10.Once the DVD has been verified, you can remove the combined depot created for make_config in step 2.
