Re: How to change /var/spool/sw depot path
If you are trying to save disk space, use the cleanup command to reduce the number of superseded patches (man cleanup). If you are trying to make software bundles available to other systems for installation, use the swcopy on your local system to create a composite bundle. The use swreg on the local system to make this bundle visible to all other HP-UX systems (no NFS required or recommended).

>Bill: The directory /var/spool/sw is useless to another server. This directory contains the history of software installed on the local system.
Are you sure about that? I don't have that on several systems. Others only have another copy of swagent.log.
The IPD is under /var/adm/sw/products/.

Solution/var/spool/sw is simply the default.
If you run swinstall without other specific options, the system will search in this directory.
I guess Bill mixed up
/var/spool/sw
and
/var/adm/sw
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
