Shalom,

Simple: Not enough disk space.

Or the default tape size has been exceeded.

swpackage has a size command that permits the creation of a tape up to 8 GB

http://docs.hp.com/en/B9106-90008/swpackage.1M.html

-x media_type=tape
media_capacity=1330

Set that to 8000 for maximum tape size.

You say there is enough space. The error says there is not. How much free space do you have in your /tmp volume?

Dear Fabian BriseÃ±o,

I used the following commands to accomplis this.

swpackage -x target_type=tape s /var/depot -d /tmp/vsf.sd

after that i received same insufficient diskspace error. in order to avoid the error i follwed the below command.

swpackage -s /usr/VSF5.0/VSF-5.0.psf -x media_type=tape -x reinstall_files_use_cksum=true -x enforce_dsa=false @ /tmp/vsf

Now also, i got the sam error.

Thanks a lot for ur prompt reply & support.

> VSF.sd: tar file

This is correct. All depot and patch files are in tar format.
> swinstall /opt/VSF.sd

Try "swinstall -s /opt/VSF.sd \*"

Hi,

about your last question, just add a final \* as follows on swinstall:

swinstall -s /opt/depot/VSF.sd \*

Best regards,
Fabio
