How to build many software from CD to only one depot?

[nataris]

I want to get softwares such as online jfs and ignite from Application CD(not same CD) to combine only one depot. please, suggest me how to do.

Shalom,

swcopy the software to a single install point on a very big disk.

swpackage -s /patche/depot -d PM.depot -x target_type=tape -x media_capacity=8000


-s is the source which you built with swcopy

-d is the destination deplot with the two options lets you build up to an 8 GB depot.

swcopy example.
for i in *.depot
do
swcopy -x write_remote_files=true -x enforce_dependencies=false -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ ${1}
done

SEP's swpackage is not strictly needed unless you want to write it to tape or ftp it.

Hi nataris:

the easiest way is execute swcopy interactive, as SAM (swcopy -i). You can copy sw of source (cd) at system.

Before copy the software you'll have depot's directory and you could install software by network.

For more details please view man pages of swcopy and swinstall

swcopy is all you need (run it for each depot you want to copy:

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -x codeword=XXXXXXXXX -s /mount/for/cd/jfs.depot \* @ /var/software/hp/jfs.ignite.depot

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /mount/for/cd/ignite.depot \* @ /var/software/hp/jfs.ignite.depot


XXXXXXXXX you need to supply your codeword to unlock it...
