Hi Raj,

If you trying to find out SW depots on the network, it is not easy. You have to check each server for the depot on that server.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If I understood correctly,

swlist is the command you are looking for. This will list the all the software and patches installed on the server,

For example :
swlist -l fileset

-USA..

Example .. hostname=mars, to list all depot on mars you would run ..

# swlist -l depot @ mars

Of course provided you know "mars" has a software depot on it.

swlist -l depot -v @ hostname

Lists all the software depots on hostname.

Hello,

You can invoke a swinstall session on one server, keep the default value of Network Directory/CDROM. From there you can type in the source depot path (i.e . another servername), and choose select depot path. If there are any entries, then it is a depot registered on the network. Like Sanjay said, though, this will take a little time.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Thanks for all of your reply.

What I was looking for is "the command which will poll the network and list the sw depots on that network"

Now I am clear I can not list the depots on the network.

Thanks.

Raj,

Yes you can. Build a list of servers you want to check on - call it /tmp/srvrs. Then do:

for srvr in `cat /tmp/srvrs`
do
swlist -l depot @ $srvr
done

Hi Raj,

From your local system, try,

swlist -l depot remoter_server

Here remote_server can be the name of the server or the ip add of the remote server if the name cannot be resolved by the local server.

Hope this helps.
