How to replace the HWEnable11i with a new one in OS depot?

[Jun Zhang_4]

First I did (for Sep. 2003 version)
swremove HWEnable11i @ /depotpath
and then (for Dec. 2003 version)
swinstall -s /path/HWEnable11i.depot HWEnable11i @ /depotpath
Everything looks successful but all filesets are excluded, for instance, with the message,
The patch fileset "PHSS_29183.XEXT-RECORD,r=B.11.11.16" may
only be installed upon a previously installed base fileset. The specification for this base fileset is "Xserver.XEXTRECORD,fr=B.11.11,v=HP". Since there is no fileset on the target or selected from the source which matches this specification, fileset
"PHSS_29183.XEXT-RECORD,r=B.11.11.16" will be excluded.

The question is, how to make a single OS depot with the HPUXBase64 (Sep) and the HWEnable11i (Dec) live together?

Jun,

Bundles like this are cumulative. You shouldn't have removed anything before installing.

Do you have a backup you can restore?

Jun,

I forgot to mention that depots are created with the swcopy command.

Ignite Golden Imaging will do this for you.

Technically there is an install process, Core then unpacking the archive which deployes the image.

If its not obvious, prior to cutting the golden image you need to install the new Patch set on the golden system.

On top of the Sep. 2003 OS depot, I did,
swcopy -s /path/HWEnable11i.depot HWEnable11i @ /depotpath
output message
... 93 filesets were determined to be
skipped in the analysis phase.
Analysis and Execution succeeded.
Then I did
swlist -s /depotpath
and I got two bundles, both Sep and Dec version of the HWEnable11i are present. Should that be the normal way? At least I don't have the size advantage for the depot. During installation, do I need to choose both of them?
Thanks

Trying to assign points, but don't see the pull down arrow for that purpose.
Bare with me and HP, I'll come back and look for it.
