Unable to install HPPI

[Simon Yap]

Michael,

Thanks, thats is a great help.
See below that I attempted:-


List the file installed:-

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset |grep -i jet
# HPNPL E.10.34 Hewlett-Packard JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix
HPNPL.HPNPL-MAN E.10.34 Standard Man Pages for JetDirect Printer Installer for Unix


Indeed, it exists. Attempts to remove.

# /usr/sbin/swremove HPNPL


Removed the HPNPL, re-list the file:-

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset |grep -i jet
#

Re-list the Product:-

# /usr/sbin/swlist HPNPL
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "gdamsed1"...
ERROR: Software "HPNPL" was not found on host "gdamsed1:/".
#

Re-try removing if got any:-

# /usr/sbin/swremove HPNPL

======= 08/12/06 01:20:36 SST BEGIN swremove SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=gdamsed1-0038)

* Session started for user "root@gdamsed1".

* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "gdamsed1:/".
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "HPNPL"; it is not
available from depot or root "gdamsed1:/".
* Software selection failed for "gdamsed1:/".
ERROR: Cannot continue the "swremove" task.
* Selection had errors.



======= 08/12/06 01:20:39 SST END swremove SESSION (non-interactive)
(jobid=gdamsed1-0038)


All clean, might be. Try to install again.
Michael, FYI, all the while I performed the installation was followed through this link.
I'll re-install HPPI with the same steps in the link you gave.

Unfortunately the error still appears.
Error message as previous reply.

Did you get the depot from HP or from another source? It looks like the depot itself is corrupt somehow.

You could try doing a tar -xvf on the .SD (do it from an empty directory off of /tmp so you don't tarbomb your /tmp. eg
mkdir /tmp/test_hppi
cd /tmp/test_hppi && tar -xvf /tmp/HP11e134.SD).

jet admin 10.34 is the latest hppi version so it looks like you've installed hppi. Why don't you type in the command hppi and see if it launches

hi,

NOTE: The bundle "J4189-11001C,r=E.10.34" is already installed. If
you wish to reinstall this bundle, change the "reinstall"
option to "true".


you could always try the above message you are getting to re-install it.

either at commandline or manually rum swinstall and point to the directory and change the options here to "true"

Michael,

As per your previous reply, once I performed the aborted installation. Eventhough the hppi has added in shell but not the file and folder. Unable to run.

# whereis hppi
hppi: /usr/bin/hppi /opt/hpnpl/man/man1/hppi.1
# /usr/bin/hppi
ksh: /usr/bin/hppi: not found

Folder has created but that is only man pages installed. No execute or script was installed.

# pwd
/opt/hpnpl

Inside this folder was nothing. Only man pages.

Jonathan,

The source I got from the HP depot. I already downloaded more than twice.

Extracted the file and completed successfully.

#tar -xvf HP11e134.SD
x catalog/HPNPL/HPNPL-SL-AUX/INDEX, 406 bytes, 1 tape blocks
MORE MORE MORE FILES

# ll
total 7312
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root output 3737341 Aug 11 21:38 HP11e134.SD
drwxrwxrwx 3 bin bin 96 Aug 12 05:04 HPNPL
drwxrwxrwx 4 root sys 96 Aug 12 05:04 catalog

Files looks good.

Andrew,

Here is the option I selected:-

[X] Create target path if not there already
[X] Mount filesystems in /etc/fstab or /etc/checklist
[X] Reinstall filesets even if same revision exists
[X] Reinstall files even if same one already there
[X] Use checksum when checking if file is the same
[ ] Compress files during transfer
[ ] Allow creation of multiple versions
[ ] Defer configuration
[ ] Enable auto-recovery of product for load errors
[ ] All targets to resolve the source locally
[X] Allow installation of lower version than current
[X] Allow installation of incompatible software
[X] Autoselect dependencies when marking software
[X] Enforce dependency analysis errors in agent
[X] Enforce script failures
[X] Enforce disk space analysis errors


I even tried on "Allow creation of multiple versions".

Hello All,

Since I can extract the file with no issue, can I compile it and make install without using swagent?

It just my thought and I think it wont work.

[Simon Yap]

Re-ftp the installer. I can't imagine that I downloaded few times to get the proper file. Eventhough I was successfully tar-ed the corrupted file.

Thanks for your great support.
