Installing the Software from the Media

This section describes the two ways in which you can install the Online Diagnostics software from the HP-UX 11i OE media or the Support Plus media:




	CAUTION: Reinstalling or upgrading the Online Diagnostics software erases the current Peripheral Status Monitor (PSM) configuration. Any HP Serviceguard package dependencies or EMS monitoring requests that are created with the PSM are lost. Before reinstalling the Online Diagnostics software, record the current PSM configuration to use it after installing the software. You can also disable the PSM dependencies in the HP Serviceguard configuration files, and then re-enable them after the Online Diagnostics software is installed.

To install the Online Diagnostics software using the TUI, complete the following steps:

Log in to the system as superuser.
Mount the CD to a location of your choice, as in the following example:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /tmp/cdrom
Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# swinstall
The SD Install - Software Selection window is displayed.
In the Specify Source window, select the appropriate location and click OK.

In the SD Install - Software Selection window, select Options-> Autoselect dependencies when marking software.
Select Enforce dependency analysis errors in agent, and click OK.
The Note window is displayed.
Click OK in the Note window to confirm the selection of dependencies.
