Copy packages from one depot to other depot

[chandregowda]

Hi Experts

Created HP unix 11.11 depot by mounting two DVDS and executing make_depots command. Depot /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.11/core is created successfully.

I want to copy only Ignite software from this core depot to other depot say /tmp/depot.So that i can use /tmp/depot contains only ignite software to install on other HP servers.
How to do this?

Is there any way to create a empty depot in Hp unix 11.11.

Thanks,
chandra

You can with swcopy:
for example:


# swlist -s /depot1123/June2010_11.23_Small|grep -e nParProvider -e tcpdump
nParProvider B.23.01.07.05 nPartition Provider - HP-UX
tcpdump 4.0.0 tcpdump

I have 2 (even more) in depot June2010_11.23_Small

Now, I wish to copy "only" tcpdump to a separate depot just like you wish to do with Ignite:
So I use:

swcopy -s /depot1123/June2010_11.23_Small tcpdump @/depot1123/tcpdump1

This creates:
# swlist -s /depot1123/tcpdump1
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "xxxx"...
#
# Target: xxxx:/depot1123/tcpdump1
#

#
# No Bundle(s) on xxxx:/depot1123/tcpdump1
# Product(s):
#

tcpdump 4.0.0 tcpdump


Matter solved... :)

Read man page for more details on swcopy..
