swcopy error

John McDen — Thu, 30 May 2002 17:13:46 GMT

I was able to create the depot on the other system but get the error on this system...

* Beginning Analysis
* Session selections have been saved in the file
"/.sw/sessions/swcopy.last".
ERROR: "wts15:/tmp/Patches": One or more
filesystems that appear in the filesystem table are not
mounted and cannot be mounted.
* The analysis phase failed for
"wts15:/tmp/Patches".
* Analysis had errors.

Thanks for your help

Hi John:

Do you in fact have mountpoints in /etc/fstab that are no longer available? That is, have you 'lvremove'd any logical volumes but forgotten to edit /etc/fstab accordingly?

Regards!

Hi John

use -x mount_all_filesystems=false option with the commnad or if doing through the menu change the value of this parameter under option menu.

SD is quite fussy about invalid mount points in your /etc/fstab file. If you have any "lef-over" entries in the you have to delete 'em.
# cd /etc
# mv fstab fstab.org
# vi fstab
==> delete approriately.
Re-run your stuff..

You could probably check try two things:

1) /etc/fstab file and find out if any incorrect entries in that. Normally swinstall gives error about the CDROM mount entry in the fstab file. You can remove any entry if found not useful any more.

2) Select the option in swinstall menu - mount all file systems and make it false.

Normally when installing patches, check the patch description and see if any install insrtuctions given with that. This will eliminate a lot of your time.

Hello Manoj

I am currently using

for PFILE in PH*depot;
do
PNAME=`echo $PFILE | cut -d. -f1`
/usr/sbin/swcopy -s $PWD/$PFILE $PNAME @ $PDEPOT
done

where do I fit the -x mount_all_filesystems=false option.

Thanks

For the last question:

# swcopy -x mount_all_filesystems=true -s ...

# man swcopy for details.

I thought you were doing swinstall during my first reply :((

mount_all_filesystems=false !

Hi John

do a man swcopy and see the later part of it , in your case you can try

/usr/sbin/swcopy -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s $PWD/$PFILE $PNAME @ $PDEPOT

Hi (again) John:

I guess I can't read today, either. Like Shiju, I was thinking 'swinstall' instead of 'swcopy'!

*No Points Please*.
