Installing the software with HP-UX 10.X
Note
You must have root permission to install the software. In
addition, you must have permission to write to the directories in Table 3 in
Appendix B. Installation of the TAMS HP-IB driver (t60488) will require
rebooting the system.
1. Insert the installation media into the drive and wait for the busy light
to remain off.
2.
Mount
the
cdrom,
for
example:
/etc/mount
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0
is the device file for your cdrom drive and
/cdrom
is a directory used as a mount point.
3. Run the interactive HP-UX swinstall utility.
/usr/sbin/swinstall
4. Verify that the Source Host Name and Source Depot Path are correct
(usually the Specify Source window will open automatically, it can be
accessed by selecting ‘Change Source’ from the Actions menu). The
Source Depot Path is normally
/var/spool/sw
, unless you have
copied the package from the installation media to a Source Depot. If
this is the case you will need to change the Source Depot Path to point
to the installation media. For example:
/cdrom
. Once Source Host
Name and Source Depot Path are set correctly select ‘OK’.
5. The SD Install - Software Selection window should contain an entry
named ‘T60488’. Highlight this entry by clicking on it once. Choose
‘Mark For Install; from the Actions menu, and ‘Yes’ should appear in
the Marked column.
