swreg

>But then what's the use of swreg?

In your case you don't need it. But you can unregister depots. Or if you used mv, cp, or pax/tar/cpio to copy a depot, you would need to register it. Or if the depot is on NFS, you may register it on other machines.

Or if you fall into the SD trap of having N ways to do things and you use swpackage instead of swcopy, you would need to register it.

Correct syntax for un-register is:
swreg -l depot -u

Now let me help you to register a depot the right way:

Assume you have downloaded the patch to depot_server@/tmp/PHNE_39872.depot and you want it to register at /depot/patch/PHNE_39872.

swcopy -x mount_all_filesystems=false -x enforce_dependencies=FALSE /tmp/PHNE_39872.depot \* @/depot/patch/PHNE_39872

verify if swcopy has automatically registered it:

swlist -l depot

If not register it:

swreg -l depot /depot/patch/PHNE_39872

From remote system:

swlist -l depot -s depot_server

swinstall -s depot_server:/depot/patch/PHNE_39872 \*


Hope this helps


Thanks

Hi sudheesh,

swcopy worked fine..

BUt when i tried in server B,getting same error.

Mel,
after doing swcopy , defaults.hosts file got created and by default it has source server name and i added target server name.but after that also source server name not displayed in target.

Tinqli,

/tmp is a OS filesystem,not any link
