| We have 19 AIX pSeries systems (4.3.3, 5.1 and 5.2) in various parts of the world. In order to install and use the Openview Monitoring, we had to purchase the user licenses for DCE V3.2 (IBM DCE V3.2 for AIX Media PK). I have received the CD from IBM that contains the DCE software, but no documentation on how to install it. I literally got just a CD and the license agreement. I am not located where the systems are, so I cannot put the CD in the drive of the systems I am trying to install it on. I have an HP-UX system here that I put the CD in the drive on the HP and exported it, and then mounted it on one of the AIX systems, and cannot install. I tried what the Quick Beginnings document (that I found on the internet) says, to do smit install_easy_bundle, but it is looking for a cd drive and doesn't like the mount point point. How do I install this. (I also tarred everything off the CD onto disk and tried the same thing here, and get same errors) I am not AIX savvy so I don't know how to use installp very well. Everything I have tried just tells me that /mnt (where I mounted the cd) is not a valid device or file: installp -pad /mnt DCE.CLIENT ************************************************** ***************************** installp PREVIEW: installation will not actually occur. ************************************************** ***************************** 0503-003 installp: The specified device /mnt is not a valid device or file. The files on the cd all have names that are uppercase with ;1 after them, such as: ..TOC;1* DCE_MSG.PT_BR;1* LDAP_MSG.CA_ES;1* DCE.BUNDLES;1* DCE_MSG.ZH_TW;1* LDAP_MSG.CS_CZ;1* DCE.CDS;1* DCE_MSG000.ES_ES;1* LDAP_MSG.DE_DE;1* DCE.CLIENT;1* DCE_MSG000.JA_JP;1* LDAP_MSG.EN_US;1* DCE.COMPAT;1* DCE_MSG000.KO_KR;1* LDAP_MSG.ES_ES;1* inutoc does not create a .toc, and when I tried it on the INST.IMAGES directory, I got the errors: # inutoc /mnt/USR/SYS/INST.IMAGES restore: 0511-126 Cannot open /mnt/USR/SYS/INST.IMAGES/LDAP_MSG000.ZH_TW: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. |
