create a depot from CDROM

[John McDen]

I am trying to use swcopy to copy patches from the support cdrom and am not able to..

This is the procedure I am trying to do..

1. swreg -l depot /cdrom/HWE1100
2. for i in `cat /tmp/patchlist.txt`
do
swcopy /cdrom/HWE1100 $i @ /tmp/Patches
done.

* Session started for user "root@wts".

* Beginning Selection
* "wts:/tmp/Patches": This target does not exist and
will be created.
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "wts" at
location "/var/spool/sw". Make sure that an absolute pathname
is specified for location (beginning with "/").
* Source connection failed for "wts:/var/spool/sw".
WARNING: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is wts:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).
* Selection had errors.

Hi,

first do

# mkdir /tmp/Patches
# swreg -l depot @/tmp/Patches

Then Issue the swcopy command.

#swcopy /cdrom/HWE1100 $i @ /tmp/Patches

Hi John
Sorry
The expample is when u dont have s/w depot registered , but then u can use the same logic and command sequence .

Hello Patel,

I don't think swreg command worked it gives and error currently no software depot...

Hi John,

Try,

swcopy -s /cdrom/HWE1100 \* @ /tmp/depot

Hope this helps.

Just a thought:

Use option '-s source' with the swcopy command. By default the swcopy takes the source as /var/spool/sw and -s overrides this default.

# swcopy -s /cdrom/...

try it with the gui,

set your display variable and run swcopy

Hi John


Just a thought , if you are messed up with the command line , try using the menu.

John,

I believe you can accomplish what you want to do with a single swcopy command:

swcopy -s /cdrom/HWE1100 -f /tmp/patchlist.txt @ /tmp/Patches

I hope this helps...
