HI,
I will suggest you the work around.
Now suppose you mount your CD on /mnt then this will work.

# cd /mnt
# cp -R
Modify your depots INDEX file which is in catalog directory with ACC base product entry...refer INDEX file in catalog directory of CD.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Use swcopy...to copy depot to server...then swreg...

See http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90789/B2355-90789.html

in particular section on "Managing Software Depots "

Rgds...Geoff

If you want to copy the products

Z7478AA B.03.32.00 ACC Base Software


from a cdrom mounted at /SD_CDROM to a new depot in /tmp/ACC you can issue the command:

swcopy -s /SD_CDROM Z7476AA @ /tmp/ACC

After that you can register the depot:

swreg -l depot /tmp/ACC

so that it shows up in

swlist -l depot

Ah, in this case you need swpackage. First swcopy like I suggested before. Then do

swpackage -x media_type=tape -s /tmp/ACC Z7476AA @ /tmp/ACC.depot

This should create a depot file /tmp/ACC.depot using the software Z7476AA from the source depot /tmp/ACC. I'm not sure you can create the file /tmp/ACC.depot when using the CDROM as the source and leave the swcopy step away. You may try it out. In the past I know it did not work.
