unable to install a depot file

Sridhar R — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:44:45 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to install the nodehostname expansion via the depot file, NodeHostNameXpnd_B.11.23.01.depot.

I am getting an I/O Error and unable to proceed.

Attached is the screenshot of what i get.

What could be the cause and the possible solution?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi

restart the swagentd daemon

#swagentd -r

again put the depot in /tmp directory and try to install.

What does the following show:
# file /var/HP/NodeHostNameXpnd_B.11.23.01.depot

Does it show "tar" or "gzip compressed"?

Hi,

Yes, it shows the below output:

# file /var/hp/NodeHostNameXpnd_B.11.23.01.depot
/var/hp/NodeHostNameXpnd_B.11.23.01.depot: tar file
#

Restarting the swagent daemon didn't work.

Thanks!

Now check the size and checksum to verify you don't have a corrupted download.

The size seems to vary..

274 MB in the depot site but

103KB in my PC.

How come?

Is this the problem?

The size and cksum on your HP-UX box should match that on the patch database.

It is a little less, isn't it?

Clear the browsers cache, restart the browser and start again.

Hi Sridhar,

Refer to the following site for installing the patch:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/catalog_content/product/install_page/NodeHostNameXpnd.html

Probably the depot is corrupted
Try to check MD5 Checksum value

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/ecommerce/efulfillment/downloadfaq.do#q7

Refer to point 7 & 8
