Depot Problem .

Hello ,
I'm trying to create a depot from a CD .
I made the following commands :
swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /cdrom @ /tmp/mwa/mwa_orig.depot
then :
swpackage -s /tmp/mwa/mwa_orig.depot -x target_type=tape -d /tmp/mwa.depot

When i'm doing swlist on the depot i see it well ! , but when i transfer the depot to other sever i get the attached errors :

Re: Depot Problem .

Sounds like youve got your 10.20 (layout 0.8) and 11.x depots (layout 1.0) mixed up.

Now, you can load 10.20 depots onto an 11.x server as long as you add the option -x layout_version=0.8. But if you load 11.x depots on 10.20 then 10.20 simply doesnt know about the more advanced layout_version=1.0 depots, so you shuouldnt do this.

You can copy right of the CD though using swpackage, you dont have to copy to a depot first.

Re: Depot Problem .

Do you have the same OS version on the two servers?
And are the CD for the same OS version as the server you are creating the depot on?
