What I would now like to do is add patch depots as software options when rebuilding boxes. I already have my patch depots setup on another box. Can I configure Ignite to install patches from my patch depot after it has successfully built the machine ? Or more likely, how ?
Regards,
Berd

The depot will need to be on the same system serving up the golden image.
The post install script section, which can be used to mirror systems for example can include swinstall commands as well.

Re: How to add patch depots as an option within Ignite
I ran a make_config -s hostname:/source_depot -c /location to place config file
This created a config file for my software depot which I verified using instl_adm. I moved this config file to /opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11 and then amended the stanza in /var/opt/ignite/INDEX which related to my Golden Image to include this cfg file.
Now when I fire up the Ignite GUI to recoer a box I can see my depots as options on the Software tab.
I came to this conclusion from a combination of pg 185-190 of the Ignite Admin, and the below ITRC post

I'll let you know how I get on.

SolutionSounds like you are off to a good start with 'make_config'. Ignite usually likes everything in your patch depot to be inside a bundle. If not already, you can use the Ignite command 'make_bundles' to get there.
The important config syntax that 'make_config' should have already built for your config file is:
sw_source "name" {
source_type=NET
source_format=SD
sd_server=
sd_depot_dir=
}
Then a "sw_sel" stanza will build the menu selection stuff (should also be there via 'make_config').
I use this all the time to "patch" my golden images during install. It works great. The patches are laid down in swinstall sessions right after the golden image is ignited.
