    Hello,

    I am trying to upgrade a L1000 Fileserver from HPUX11.00 to HPUX11.11

    It seems that I cannot get over the first obstacle:

    If I try to install the update-ux command from CD-ROM by typing:

    swinstall -r -s /cdrom /Update-UX \@ /var/adm/sw/update-ux.root 2>
    /dev/null
    (using korn shell)

    I get the following message:

    ======= 07/23/03 09:12:17 EDT BEGIN swinstall SESSION
             (non-interactive)

           * Session started for user "root@mycomputer".

           * Beginning Selection
           * "mycomputer:/var/adm/sw/update-ux.root": This target does not
             exist and will be created.
           * "mycomputer:/cdrom": Cannot open the logfile on this target or
             source. Possibly the media is read-only or there is a
             permission problem. Check the daemon logfile and
             "/var/tmp/swagent.log" on this host for more information.
           * Software selection failed for "mycomputer:/cdrom".
           * Selection had errors.

    ======= 07/23/03 09:12:19 EDT END swinstall SESSION (non-interactive)

    root is the owner and owns all permissions for /var/adm/sw
    /cdrom naturally is not writable ???

    Probably a ridiculous error I am making. But I cannot find out what I am
    doing wrong?

    Has anybody of you experiences with the update-ux command?
    Encountered any Problems?

    Thank you for your help

    Andreas
