how to swinstall what i get with swlist ?

[JeanBernard]

Hi all,

I'm pretty much still a newbie, so please don't laugh...

Here's an exerpt of what I get when I run swlist -l fileset
OS-Core.CORE2-SHLIBS B.11.31 ...blablabla
OS-Core.CORE2-64SLIB B.11.31 ...blablabla

but, how to install them with swinstall ?

I tried swinstall OS-Core.CORE2-SHLIBS but then I got this:
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "mdavis" at
location "/var/spool/sw". Make sure that an absolute pathname
is specified for location (beginning with "/").
* Source connection failed for "mdavis:/var/spool/sw".
WARNING: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is mdavis:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).
* Selection had errors.

Any help appreciated.
If an answer is given, I do assign points as a rule.

if you run swlist -l fileset , you are listing software allready installed on your server.

if you want to install software you need a BLA.depot file, or a software depot.

if you wan't to install from a .depot you can run, and the you will get a gui to install the products/bundles you need:

swinstall -s $PWD/BLA.depot

from a depot server:

swinstall -s depotserver:/depot/path

What exactly did your command look like? Did you specify where the source was located with the -s switch?

swinstall -s /full/path/to/yoursource

Are you trying to install it on the same machine.? You have listed the software which are already present on the server.

For installing a software, you need to have a depot , and use swinstall with -s option.

#swinstall -s /tmp/software.depot

Here's the result for my swlist command:

swlist -l depot gives:

# swlist -l depot
# Initializing...
# Target "mdavis" has the following depot(s):
/var/opt/mx/depot11
/home/plf/depot

and then swinstall -s /var/opt/mx/depot11 OS-Core.CORE2-SHLIBS

and what came out was:


# swinstall -s /var/opt/mx/depot11 OS-Core.CORE2-SHLIBS

OK, I thought it meant software available for install...
Then how comes that when I try to install OMU 8.2 I get a message saying that these filesets are not installed ?

the exact message is:
ERROR: Missing fileset ImagingSubsystem (version B.11.31)
Fileset OS-Core.CORE2-SHLIBS with version B.11.31
Fileset OS-Core.CORE2-64SLIB with version B.11.31

Maybe i should move this thread to OM for unix page ?

Hi,
This message is normal if in the depot you don't have the fileset. To be sure
# swlist -l depot
# Initializing...
# Target "mdavis" has the following depot(s):
/var/opt/mx/depot11
/home/plf/depot
and list all the content of the depot with
# swlist @/var/opt/mx/depot11
Perhaps you don't have OS-Core.CORE2-SHLIBS on the depot /var/opt/mx/depot11

Shalom,

If you have a running system, these libraries are probably already installed. There is no need to reinstall them.

swverify \*

See if anything corrupt comes up.
