Hi,
I am Frank,new to HP Forum,glad to meet you all.

Question again with Ignite-UX, I download ignite_10.20.tar;cp /var/tmp; tar xf ignite_10.20.tar and get 2 directory:Ignite-UX,catalog; swinstall -s /var/tmp/Ignite-UX.RECOVERY; then I got Error:can't establish a lock on this target because of an external error.

If I cp Ignite-UX /opt; swinstall -s /opt/Ignite-UX; then got Error:There is currently no depot software on host... at location...

Could you help me? Thanks!

Hi

Here is an example of the same fault with a bundle.

The error occurs because CPM does not allow/create an swlock file when
downloading bundles/patches. CPM downloads the patches as an swpackage
in a directory entitled . This leads the user
to believe that this is an actual depot.

Use the following work-around to resolve the error:

1. swcopy everything from the swpackage (the directory
entitled ) to a temporary (empty)
directory. This directory becomes the depot to use during
the swinstallation.

mkdir /depot/patches
swcopy -s {source} \* @ {target}

2. swcopy the additional information (additional patches,
another depot, and so on) into the temporary directory.

swcopy -s {source} \* @ {target}

3. Use the new directory as the swinstall source directory.




In your case

mkdir
swcopy ignite to it
Use this new dir as swinstall source dir

Hi,

If you place the software at a location you need to register the depot location:

# swreg -l depot /opt/Ignite_UX

now you should be able to swinstall.

if the source is locked, check if there are currently other installations in progress. if not restart the swagentd.

Hope this will help,

Hi,

Do this,

cd /depot_patch/catalog
touch swlock

Try swinstall once again.

hope this helps.

Hello,

if you downloaded IUX through the official
IUX homepage the tar file is already in SD
format.

Just place it in a directory and issue
[as root] the following commands

swinstall -s `pwd`/Ignite_A_XXX.tar

Cheers

Hi,

It happened to me a number of times before I learned that a depot file doesn't have to be named xxxx.depot. Christos has provided the simpe answer: it's already a depot.

Sanjay's answer is what I had done in the past and will work fine.

hi,

sorry abt a mistake in the earlier post. the directory should be /depot_path and not /depot_patch.

cd /path_to_depot/catalog
touch swlock

Hope this helps.

Hi,

you can also try,

touch /var/adm/sw/products/swlock

if the swlock file is not available in /var/adm/sw/products

Hope this helps.

Hi,Thank you all for the reply.

I try all the method, I think 2 of them is very good:
a)swinstall 'pwd'/ignite_10.20.tar
b)tar 'pwd'/ignite_10.20.tar
touch 'pwd'/catalog/swlock
swinstall 'pwd'/Ignite-UX
