Dear Gurus ,

After copying depot to a server1 and running swinstall , it get somwthing like the attchment,i.e i do not get the depot listing but only hostname and root . however i have installed and tested the same way on another servers.As i can recall i had run some swreg and swacl commands long time back on this server.could it be because of this ? how to get the normal swinstall window . Pardon me if this is duplicate posting , as i am not able to search same in ITRC.

Hi,

Check registered depot with: swlist -l depot

If registered depot not showing, remove the required depot entry and follow the steps:

If you want to create new softwre depot:
1)Create a Directory:
mkdir /newdir/depot
2)swpackage -s -d /newdir/depot
Register your new depot on the sd-ux:
3) swreg -l depot /newdir/depot

Copy any other depot available:
4)swcopy -s `pwd`/ABC.depot @ /newdir/depot

Check registered depot with: swlist -l depot


Thanks,

Hi Ganesh ,

# swlist -l depot
# Initializing...
# Target "withheld" has the following depot(s):
/home/tech/patch_4_oracle/depot
/var/WAS_128.1.150.18/ibmcd2/GSKit/gsk7bas64

I have unregistered the depot with
#swreg -l depot -u
But here my problem is that i am still not able to see this new depot entry in server when swinstall -s , i have copied dependencies and test the same on other server and it worked fine.

If your depot already exists, you should use swcopy as in 4). The only time you should use swpackage is when you are packaging depots or want to create a tape depot.

Did you reregister it?

Why would you want want a window? Do everything from the command line.

# swinstall -s $PWD/depot \*

This will install everything.

I have copied this with cp , not swcopy, as i did for the other server2 and server3 whereit had worked fine.
In server2/3 i simply did swinstall -s /tmp/DP* and it worked fine.Now on the server1 i am getting the attachment that i have posted in initation thread

How did you do this? swcopy? No

Did you reregister it? I should be able to install without registering.

Why would you want want a window? I am able to install with swinstall -s /tmp/DP_A0600_UXia64.sd_depot \*
I need a window for other product which will be installed with swinstall.
Once again thanks for the help.

Hi,

I don't understand, what's happen when you do only
# swinstall -s /tmp/DP_A0600_UXia64.sd_depot
do you have something to highlight, if yes enter in the depot and after that you could select under the depot.
Other think, why you don't use the omnisetup script?

Hope it helps

Hi Smatador,

I did't use omnisetup script as it exited every time after unpacking only , without installing anything . i had use this command with omnisetup
# ./omnisetup.sh -install da -server and it did't worked,
so i copied only the DP_A0600_UXia64.sd_depot and installed it , it worked fine on server2/3.
However the problem here is "hosatname root in swinstall " in server1 and not the "Specify Source" selection window.Please let me know if you want some o/p.
