Depot software in hp-unix

[pravin_tendulkar]

How can you copy required depot software from cd after mounting that cd extenally without using sam ( On CD the software is not in depot format )? Is there any listing inside it which will give you required component for a particular license product?

Hi

you need to to this

1. create a empty dir - /general/depot
2. swcopy -s /cdrom

you must put on the des. og the depot the empty dir .

choose the software that you want ot copy .
do ana. and copy .

after copy of the software

1. swpackage -d /general/software.depot -s /general/depot -x traget_type=tape

option : -d : des. of the depot
-s : where the source is
target_type=tape : if you want to copy the software to a tape .

i saw that you had a problem with the /tmp (empty space ) my advise is to move the data to a diff location and the do the install .
