Need to create 11.31 depot in ignite server

[sandeepkrishna]

HI All,

I am busy with creating 11.31 depots in ignite server . I am not able to configure the software after the depot creation. This are the steps I followed:

1. Created depot with first DVD

# make_depot -r B.11.31 -s /dev/dsk/c3t1d0 (DVD path)

2. Created depot with second DVD

# make_depot -r 11.31 -s /dev/dsk/c3t1d0 (DVD path)

3. Configured the depot

# make_config -r B.11.31

But it is not working and I am not able to view the new depot created ..

any help wil be appreciated...

#/var/opt/ignite/INDEX

Any errors reported in the log file? Look at /var/opt/ignite/logs/make_config

You are using a lot of defaults here.

make_depots, by default, will place the copied media depots into /var/opt/ignite/depots/B.11.31, so go there and make sure you have 2 depots there.

make_config, as called here, should generate a config file for each depot found in the path above, and puts these files, by default, in the /var/opt/ignite/data/B.11.31 path.

So first you need to check these and see if theses commands worked as expected.

Hi Sandeep,

you may find the newly created depot under /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31


or refer the logs file for further details (

/var/opt/ignite/logs/make_depots) look for swcopy details.

Here is the steps for creating a depot for in ignite


1) copy software to disk
# make_depots -s -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media

repeat the same command for all dvds

2) create config file
make_config -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media_config

3)create INDEX file entry for the newly created depot
#manage_index -n "HP-UX B.11.31 Default" -c "Hp Unix v3 media"
#manage_index -a -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.31/v3_core_media_config -c "Hp Unix v3 media"

Hi Johnson,

I want to create 11.23 depots with 2 DVD. However I got the following errors ?
(where the /mnt is mounted the 2nd DVD from my NFS server)

# make_depots -r B.11.23 -s /mnt
ERROR: swlist command for "/mnt" failed.
ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at "/mnt".
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "b1131d01" at
location "/mnt". Make sure that an absolute pathname is
specified for location (beginning with "/").
ERROR: build_bundle_list failed

Do you have any ideal of this error ? Thanks.

Regards,
Johnny
