hi all,

I have a problem with installing a depot patch on hpux 11.11 series L2000, the error is: no compatible software found. I tryied stop and start swagentd and type swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /full_path_of_depot, but it's the same!!

Thanks all!!
Ciao

did you try the command in the follwoing syntax:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /full_path_of_depot PH*

command line swinstall wants to know which products you want from this depot as well and do not take "*" as a default selection regex. Another cauting even if you put * instead of PH*, I have seen it not working. You may have to specify a common denominator like all the patches start with PH, so PH* works fine for me in a situation like this

Good luck and hope this helps

Try a swlist against the depot first and confirm there is something that can be installed

# swlist -s /full_path_of_depot

If it returns something

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /full_path_of_depot \*

Are you sure you have downloaded the patch for 11.11 ? :-)

Hi Ciao,

Make sure you are not installing in-compatible patches. For ex., Firmware image patch of a L-class server may be incomptible with N-class.

Otherwise, there may be a problem with the model string. Post your "model" and "uname -a" outputs along with the output of "swlist -v -l depot -s .

Ciao,
In addition to above replies i also see 2 possibilities here.
1. The Patch you have downloaded is not copied properly in the depot.
Like .. use # sh PATCH
# swcopy
2. The Patch you are trying to install is not for HPUX 11.11 or not compatible with L2000 H/w platform.

If you can give details about what patch it is and how did you mmove that patch to depot then it would be easy to analyse.

Hope that helps,
Regards,

hi

I have tryied your command but it is the same error: currently, there are no products on this source which are compatible with the target. Therefore, no products are shown". I have verified the patch downloaded from here and they are correct...I don't know because in the source target shows more path than mine...

Thanks
Ciao

Hi,

Can you post the outputs of

#model
#uname -a
#swlist -v -l depot -s /wherever_your_depot_is
