Copy patches to one depot to limit reboots

[Joe Profaizer]

I'm trying to copy a couple patches to one depot, so that I only have one reboot, but I'm having troubles. Can you please assist.
I have two patch sets named:
PHSS_23797.depot
PHKL_24015.depot

I've tried:
swcopy -s /tmp/PHSS_23797.depot -d @ /tmp/patches

But I receive an error that says (in SAM):
Cannot establish a lock on this target because of an external error (for example, the lock file could not be created);

Please consult!!!

Thanks,

..Joe

Hi Joe:

Use this (without the '-d'):

cd /tmp
for X in PH*
do
sh $X
done
mkdir /tmp/patches
for X in /tmp/PH*.depot
do
swcopy -s /tmp/${X} \* @ /tmp/patches
done

Hello Joe,

The following command should work :-
swcopy -d -v -x compress_files=false -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /tmp/"PATCHNAME.depot" \* @ /tmp/patches

Good luck !

Still getting error messages on both solutions:

Cannot lock depot/root/PSF at "/tmp/patches". Bad file number
(9).
ERROR: The target "/tmp/patches" could not be opened. pid=181

Hi Joe:

First, as root, try creating a lock file for the depot as follows:

# touch /tmp/patches/catalog/swlock
