Cannot make a depot of Support Plus CD

[Jun Zhang_4]

I tried to make a depot of the 11i Support Plus CD on to a machine running 11.0, and got the following,
e35c:root:/# make_depots -s /cdrom -d /tmp/splus
ERROR: swlist command for "/cdrom" failed.
ERROR: The depot "e35c:/cdrom" exists but is currently empty.
ERROR: build_bundle_list failed
I made depots of other CDs in the Sep. 2003 set of 11i.

Hi Jun,
2 things..
1. I guess /cdrom is mounted
2. make_depots -s /cdrom will not work because you'll have to choose the product of which you want to make a depot like cdrom has got DIAGNOSTICS and within that you have B.11.11 is a product so if you make a depot of it like this
make_depots -s /cdrom/DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.11 -d /tmp/splus then if will surely work.

I have actually tried above and it works

Cheers

Did you mount /cdrom with the right options.
