Extracting the installation script from the media

Setting up the system
When you run the installation script the first time, the script sets up the system by
adding semaphores to the
/etc/system
file. A semaphore is an interprocess
communication signal that indicates the status of a shared system resource, such as
shared memory. The installation encounters problems if you do not add semaphores to
the
/etc/system
file. After the script updates this file, reboot the workstation.
To set up the system:
1.
Verify that you are logged in as root user. You should see a
#
prompt in the Xterm
window.
If you are not logged in as root, enter
su - root
in the Xterm window. When
prompted, enter
<
root password
>
.
2.
Insert the HP OpenView 6.2 CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3.
Change to the scripts directory by entering:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/cv_scripts
4.
Run the HP OpenView installation script by entering:
./install_cvux
