PA RISC Software depot on Itanium SuperDome

[AndyMueller]

Guys,

I could use some help with the following:
I used swcopy to copy HP Patch Media I received from HP for a PA RISC server (HP-UX 11.11) into a software depot on an Itanium based system (HP-UX 11.23v2).

When I run the swinstall from the PA RISC box to the Itanium box, the only software I could mark for install is for 11.23, which I obviously wouldn't want to do. I used the following swcopy command:

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /cdrom \* @ /home/depot/B.11.11/Patches/sdc9015/14Dec05

Do you guys know if you can create a software depot for 11.11 on a 11.23 server? Sure seems to me like I should. Is there an swcopy option I missed? Incidently, when cp -R -p for all files on the /cdrom to the depot, then swreg'd it, it gave me the same results when doing the swinstall command (only 11.23 files were displayed, but the system to be swinstalled is 11.11).

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Absolutely - you can even put 10.20 depots on that puppy.
I think something else is in play here.
Take a *good* look at that bundle to make sure there's not a problem there. Go down into the "Info" option on the bundles/products/patches.
Then make dang sure there's nothing funny going on with the "model" string the receiving system is reporting.

Rgds,
Jeff

You can swcopy all previous versions if you set enforce_dependencies=false.

What indicates patches to be 11.23?
If your patches are intended for 11.11, why they should 11.23?

BTW, some patches are 11.X - they apply to 11.11, 11.23 and even 11.00.

As both of you suggested, I can ifact have 11.11 depots and ignite images on an 11.23 box.

Thank you, Andy
