Copy dependency software to another server.

[CFI-beheer]

Dear all,

I would like copy (or make a depot of )a software from a server1 to server2 both are runnig hp-ux 11.23 OS.
The software in the /opt directory and has dependencies.

Is there a easy way to do this?

I have tried to tar en untar the /opt/ directory from server1 to server2
but this doesn't work for the dependencies of the software.

I have also been reading swcopy and swpackage but I think that they require
depot to create a depot.

Does anyone have experience with swcopy and swpackage or a software that
do the above?

The reason for copyong software is because the previous version of this software
is not available anymore on the hp-ux download site and te latest version
of has made enormous change in the configuration.

CAn anyone help me with this?

thx,

Kind Regards

Once the software is installed, there are no supported commands to make a depot out of it.

You would have to manually fiddle/copy the info in the IPD to your new system.

Shalom,

The original depot is required. Most software provided in depots installs files in more than just /opt.

Even if you could copy the software to another system it would not be in the sd/ux database and there fore not checked for dependencies and other issues. What you are asking to do will not be good for the system that receives the software/
