Moving Ignite between servers

[Chris Fadrowski]

I am trying to get the new version of Ignite onto a server that is completely isolated from the internet and every other server in our network. This means that i have to take the download from another server to get it to this server. I am using the tape drive now for patches etc....

What is the most effective way to get the new Ignite from one server to the other using the tape. i tryed 'tar' but the file gets corrupt.

Chris,

I think you need to try swpackage:

swpackage -s /path_to_ignite_depot -x target_type=tape @ /dev/rmt/0m

Hi,

You downloaded a depot file, you should be able to swpackage it to your tape drive.
First swreg your depot file, if you did not do that allready. than check man swpackage for the exact command ( I am at home, have no UX server avail)

Actually i am getting this error

Chris,

That's interesting. Are you sure the depot is valid? Maybe you should download it again.

That's exactly what i did and now it seems to have worked. The original download may have been corrupt. Thanks again.
