Method 1: Installing from floppy diskette

To create an installation floppy and then install the HP-UX 9.0x Client Agent from the new disk:
  1. On a UnixWare 7 system, insert the CD-ROM disk into the drive.

  2. Mount the CD-ROM drive:

    /usr/sbin/mount -rF cdfs /dev/cdrom/c0b0t#l0 /mnt

    where /mnt is the mount point directory and t# is the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM device. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is set to a SCSI ID of 5, you would specify /dev/cdrom/c0b0t5l0.

  3. Change to the directory containing the Client Agent image file:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/hpux9.x/image

  4. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the mounted floppy drive.

  5. Create an installable Client Agent diskette from the uagent.dd file. At the command line, enter:

    dd if=uagent.dd of=/dev/install

    /dev/install is the default floppy drive on your system. If you want to use a different floppy drive, specify that device instead.

  6. Log in to the desired HP-UX 9.0x workstation as root.

  7. Insert the Client Agent diskette into the workstation's floppy drive.

  8. Run the update utility:

    update -s /dev/floppy/c201d0s0 -S700 -d /usr UAGENT

    where -s is the source device name (in this case, 3.5" floppy), -S is the system architecture type (``700'' for 700 series, ``800'' for 800 series), and -d is the destination directory name (a directory called uagent will be created under /usr).

    A series of messages appear as the installation is completed.


It is important to specify the correct device name and system type for your workstation.
