how to install lsof depot.

[Prasad Joshi]

Hi all,

I have lsof depot in my root directory.
sliam15:/ # ls -l | grep lsof
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 378880 May 19 10:36 lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot


I don't know how to install it.

I tried it with swinstall but, it did not worked.

sliam15:/ # swinstall -s / lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot

======= 05/19/06 10:38:38 IST BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=sliam15-0026)

* Session started for user "root@sliam15".

* Source connection failed for "sliam15:/".

Hi Prasad,

You can try two things,

1) Giving absolute path to lsof depot.

# swinstall -s lsof

2) swagentd -r

Hi Arunvijai,

Thanks for your response. I have given absolute path.
I have depot in the root directory only.

sliam15:/ # swinstall -s $PWD lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot

Hi Prasad,

1)# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
2)# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

To check the softwares in the depot
# swlist -s /lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot

See whether is there any bundle

#swinstall -s /lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot

If its not happening means pls send /var/adm/sw/swagent.log

Hi Arunkumar,

sliam15:/ # swlist -s /lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "sliam15"...
#
# Target: sliam15:/lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot
#

#
# No Bundle(s) on sliam15:/lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot
# Product(s):
#

lsof 4.77 lsof

I think there is some error, as it is showing "No Bundkes on sliam15:/lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot"

I have downloaded this depot from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.77/

Then unzipped it.
Can you analyse the error?

Thanks & regards,
Prasad

Hi prasad,

What happens if your try to 'swinstall' interactively and not from the command line

Hi Prasad,

Your error is only a little blank on the wrong place:

sliam15:/ # swinstall -s / lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot

Please remove the blank between / and lsof-xxx.

The Command for the install without startings th gui would be:

swinstall -x autoreboot=false -s /lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot '*'

hope it helps,

Peter

Thanks Peter Weibbrecht,

As Peter Weibbrecht ponited out, I was giving an unnecessary space.

After removing it, i was able to install lsof.

Thanks for help,
Prasad.

Hi,

Don't leave space between the / & lsof-4.77-ia64-11.23.depot.So that its throwing error.

Assigning Points are always welcome !!!!
