installing from depot problem:

khilari — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:05:00 GMT

Hi people, I just got a depot for command view for HP StorageWorks Command View SDM for Disk System. Now, I am in the swinstall screen, I have gunzipped it and every thing, but now that I need to install it and I go to the actions button, it gives me no option to install the options it is giving me are:

│File View Options Actions Help
│ Press CTRL-K for keyboard help.
│Source: newPC_LA:/mcsg/cvsd.depot
│Target: newPC_LA:/var/spool/sw
│
│All software on the source is available for selection.
│──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│Top (Bundles and Products) 0 of 1 selected
│──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ Marked? Name Revision Information
│┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
││ CMDVIEWSDM -> 1.09.02 HP StorageWorks Command

when I go to actions it gives me:

Add Software Group...
Save Software Group...
Manage Patch Selection...
─────────────────────────
Change Source...
Add New Codeword
─────────────────────────
Change Target...
─────────────────────────
Copy...
=========================
(nothing selected)

When I go to manage patch selection it gives me:

The menu item you have chosen is not available for the current state
of the application.

Hi,

You click on the product and the option should apear.

Are you sure you ran swinstall? The fact that it says "copy" makes me wonder if you didn't run swcopy instead.

Ya, good guess. I ran swcopy. Ok so to begin with i have a depot in /mcsg/cvsd.depot.
Now, how do i go about installing it.
When i highlight the product and press install from actions i get this:

Before proceeding, you must specify a target path. Please specify a â
target path in the Software Selection Window by using the change â
target action in the Action menu. â

You could try it from the command line.

# swinstall -s /mcg/cvsd.depot \*

Should install it for you.

Hi
Also you can do the following:
swlist -s /tmp/GLANCE
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "taurus"...
# Target: taurus:/tmp/GLANCE
#
# Bundle(s):
#

B3693AA C.03.35.00 HP GlancePlus/UX for s800 11i
taurus:/# swinstall -s /tmp/GLANCE B3693AA

If the depot requires reboot,
taurus:/# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /tmp/GLANCE B3693AA

Did you mark the software for install?

If you are using the terminal GUI, select the software entry e.g. CMDVIEWSDM and then press the 'm' key, If you have a number of software products to install you mark the ones you want with the 'm'

Now when you go to the actions you should see an Install option.
