This section describes how to mount the TrafficDirector CD-ROM on an HP-UX system. It includes general information only. For more detailed instructions, see your HP-UX system documentation.
You can install the TrafficDirector application from a CD-ROM mounted on the local TrafficDirector system or from a CD-ROM mounted on a remote HP-UX system. The Portable File System (PFS), which is used to mount the CD-ROM in this procedure, allows access to a variety of CD-ROM file systems.
 |
Caution You must use this CD-ROM mounting procedure to successfully install the product. If you use the standard UNIX mount command to mount the CD-ROM, the software installation will fail. |
This section contains the following information:
The following are prerequisites for mounting the CD-ROM:
 |
Note A patch is required for HP-UX 11.0 only. |
Use the command netstat -rn to show the network routing tables; the entry lo0 is for the loopback interface.
|
Caution You must use this CD-ROM mounting procedure to successfully install the product. |
To mount a local CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:
Step 2 To become the superuser, enter the command su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root.
The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).
Step 3 Make sure the path /opt/sbin is in the path environment variable.
Step 4 For HP-UX 11.0 systems, enable network loopback (if it is not already enabled) by adding the entry LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 to the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.
Step 5 To verify that network loopback is enabled, enter the following command and press Enter:
netstat -rn
Output similar to the following is displayed:
Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface Pmtu PmtuTime 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 2897 lo0 4608 172.16.217.60 127.0.0.1 UH 1 2299 lo0 4608 default 172.16.217.254 UG 5 86356 lan0 1500 172.16.217.0 172.16.217.60 U 0 7702 lan0 1500
The entry lo0 is for the loopback interface.
Step 6 To start the PFS daemons to allow network access on the server and client, enter the following commands and press Enter:
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd & # nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 &
Step 7 To verify the processes that are running on the system, enter the following command and press Enter:
# ps -ef | grep pfs
Output similar to the following is displayed:
root 1196 1195 0 14:07:28 ttyp1 0:00 pfs_mountd.rpc root 1224 1208 0 14:07:47 ttyp1 0:00 pfsd.rpc root 1210 1208 0 14:07:41 ttyp1 0:00 pfsd.rpc root 1217 1208 0 14:07:44 ttyp1 0:00 pfsd.rpc root 8669 7686 0 15:49:25 ttyp3 0:00 /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 root 8670 8669 0 15:49:25 ttyp3 0:00 pfsd.rpc root 8617 7686 0 15:48:33 ttyp3 0:00 /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd root 8739 7686 1 15:50:49 ttyp3 0:00 grep pfs
Step 8 To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command and press Enter:
# pfs_mount devicefile mount_point
where devicefile is the device file name of the CD-ROM drive and mount_point is the directory on which you want to mount the CD-ROM.
For example, the following command mounts the device /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 to the /cdrom directory:
# pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
Step 9 To unmount the CD-ROM after you install the software, enter the following command and press Enter:
# pfs_umount /cdrom
|
Caution You must use this CD-ROM mounting procedure to successfully install the product. |
To access the TrafficDirector CD-ROM from a remote system, follow these steps:
Step 2 On the remote system, mount the CD-ROM as described in the "Prerequisites for Mounting the CD-ROM" section.
Step 3 Add the following entry to file /etc/pfs_exports (create the file if it does not already exist):
/cdrom -access=client
where client is the name of the host on which you want to install the software.
Step 4 To export the directory that you just mounted, enter the following command and press Enter:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_exportfs -a
Step 5 On the local system on which you want to install the TrafficDirector software, start the pfs_mountd daemon by entering the following command and pressing Enter:
# nohup pfs_mountd &
Step 6 To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command and press Enter:
# pfs_mount serverhost:remote_mount_point local_mount_point
where:
For example, the following command mounts the /cdrom1 directory of the remote system named server to the /cdrom2 directory of the local system.
# pfs_mount server:/cdrom1 /cdrom2
After you have finished installing the necessary device packages, you might want to unexport the exported CD-ROM file system.
To unexport the CD-ROM file system, follow these steps:
Step 2 To unmount the directory (for example, /local_dir) for the local workstation, enter the following command and press Enter:
# /usr/sbin/umount /local_dir
Step 3 Log into the remote HP-UX workstation as root.
Step 4 Remove the following line from the /etc/exports file:
/cdrom -anon=0,ro
Step 5 To unexport the file system, enter the following command and press Enter:
# /etc/exportfs -a
To mount the exported CD-ROM file system to a local workstation, follow these steps:
Step 2 Create a dummy directory (for example, /local_dir).
|
Note The commands in the following steps use the filename /local_dir. If a directory with that name already exists, create a directory with a different name. |
Step 3 To verify that the directory is not already a mounted file system, enter the following command and press Enter:
# df /local_dir
If the output looks similar to the following, the directory is not already a mounted file system:
/local_dir (/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s5):328614 blocks 586775 files
If the output looks similar to the following, a file system is already mounted on the local_dir directory:
/local_dir (remote:/tmp): 3139134 blocks -1 files
Step 4 If a file system is already mounted on the local_dir directory, enter the following command and press Enter to unmount the existing directory:
# /usr/sbin/umount /local_dir
Step 5 To mount the exported CD-ROM drive on the local workstation, enter the following command and press Enter:
# /usr/sbin/mount -r remote_system:/cdrom /local_dir
To unmount the CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:
Step 2 To unmount the CD-ROM drive, enter the following commands as superuser and press Enter:
# cd / # umount /cdrom
Step 3 Press the eject button to eject the CD-ROM from the drive.
Step 4 Remove the CD-ROM from the drive and store it in a safe place.
