Re: Image Catalogue Question

The rule of thumb i've always heard is that it's best to load the cume, DB,
and Hiper groups first and let them apply and then to load all of the
remaining groups. The DB and Hipers aren't really part of the cume, but
an order for the cume will also drive an order for the DB and Hiper groups.

What you would need to do is the group the desired groups together by
loading them into the desired image catalogs (ex: I created one IC with
the cume, DB, Hipers and then a second IC with all my remaining groups
loaded to it). You then control which IC is used by which IC you load on
the virtual optical drive.

My process was to load the cume/DB/Hiper IC to the virt. opt. drive, GO PTF
option 8, load from single image, IPL.

Then after checking application of the cume/DB/Hiper groups, I repeated the
process with the remining groups IC loaded to the virt. opt. drive.



There are other strategies i'm sure, but this one worked fine for my needs
and paralleled the process i've always used when loading PTFs in the past
from media.

Chad,

I thought that the DB Group and latest HIPER were part of the Cume? I
was thinking about adding other Groups to the set, such as HTTP, TCP, etc.

I know that, when I burned CD's for the installation, I had to use '2'
(multiple sets) for the 'Prompt for media' option, and the Install kept
prompting me for the next volume (Group) until I told it, "Enough's
enough!" But it does seem reasonable to use '1' (single volume set)
when everything is in the same IC; otherwise, how would one indicate
which set to use?

I had the same question the first time!

When I did my cume and groups from ICs, I loaded the cume, the DB group,
and the Hiper group all to one image catalog. (loaded the discs to the
catalog with cume first, then the other 2 groups)

Then when loading the PTF group within option 8, choose the option for a
single PTF volume set (option 1 i'm pretty sure).

Can I download a Cume and Group PTF's to the same image catalogue for
later install in a single pass?

Well, I guess that's not really the way to word the question. Obviously
multiple PTF's (Groups or Individuals) can be downloaded to a single
image catalogue. I guess the real question is, on the "Install Options
for PTFs" panel, what option would need to be entered in the 'Prompt for
media' option to get all PTF's installed in a single pass?

I've used IC's for upgrades, Cume's, Groups, and Individuals, but never
in combination. Sorry if this is an obvious thing.
