installing from depot problem:

Hi people, I just got a depot for command view for HP StorageWorks Command View SDM for Disk System. Now, I am in the swinstall screen, I have gunzipped it and every thing, but now that I need to install it and I go to the actions button, it gives me no option to install the options it is giving me are:

│File View Options Actions Help
│ Press CTRL-K for keyboard help.
│Source: newPC_LA:/mcsg/cvsd.depot
│Target: newPC_LA:/var/spool/sw

│All software on the source is available for selection.
│──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│Top (Bundles and Products) 0 of 1 selected
│──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ Marked? Name Revision Information
│┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
││ CMDVIEWSDM -> 1.09.02 HP StorageWorks Command

when I go to actions it gives me:


Add Software Group...
Save Software Group...
Manage Patch Selection...
─────────────────────────
Change Source...
Add New Codeword
─────────────────────────
Change Target...
─────────────────────────
Copy...
=========================
(nothing selected)

When I go to manage patch selection it gives me:

The menu item you have chosen is not available for the current state
of the application.

Hi,

Re: installing from depot problem:

Are you sure you ran swinstall? The fact that it says "copy" makes me wonder if you didn't run swcopy instead.

Ya, good guess. I ran swcopy. Ok so to begin with i have a depot in /mcsg/cvsd.depot.
Now, how do i go about installing it.
When i highlight the product and press install from actions i get this:

Before proceeding, you must specify a target path. Please specify a â
target path in the Software Selection Window by using the change â
target action in the Action menu. â

Re: installing from depot problem:

You could try it from the command line.

# swinstall -s /mcg/cvsd.depot \*

Should install it for you.

Hi
Also you can do the following:
swlist -s /tmp/GLANCE
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "taurus"...
# Target: taurus:/tmp/GLANCE
#
# Bundle(s):
#

B3693AA C.03.35.00 HP GlancePlus/UX for s800 11i
taurus:/# swinstall -s /tmp/GLANCE B3693AA

If the depot requires reboot,
taurus:/# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /tmp/GLANCE B3693AA

Re: installing from depot problem:

Did you mark the software for install?

If you are using the terminal GUI, select the software entry e.g. CMDVIEWSDM and then press the 'm' key, If you have a number of software products to install you mark the ones you want with the 'm'

Now when you go to the actions you should see an Install option.
