[subhashni]

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to Install PATCH from HPUX support plus CD for HPUX 11.00.But I'm getting error message as "DEPOT found on CDROM but it is currently empty".Any help?
Thanks.

mount the CD using mount to /cdrom (make /cdrom if it doesn't exist). Then cd to /cdrom and do a "ls -lR | more" to make sure there are things on the CD and that it is readable. Then try it again (swinstall), but this time change the source to "Local Directory".

Hi Subhashini,

This is becasue, you have not entered the full path name on the 'target window'. Try this:

1) mount cdrom
2) start swinstall
3) In the target window, enter the full path name.

for eg: /cdrom/QPK1100/B.11.00

How did you mount your cdrom, and what swinstall command are you using to install them. Those two items should help us point you in the right direction quicker.

Hi,

The full path should be used whether
your using the command line or within
the interactive session. For example
if your patching your diagnostics the
path will be (December 2001 release
they changed the paths)
/cdrom/DIAGNOSTICS
Patches
/cdrom/QPK1100
Hardware patches
/cdrom/HWE1100

I mounted cd by using the following commands

#mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0 /cdrom
#swinstall

Thanks

Sorry I can't type today, or is it that the keyboard just doesn't understand 'stupid' :^))

The path of the diagnostics is:
/cdrom/DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.00

Agreed, my general swinstall format is:

swinstall -s `hostname`:/cdrom/DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.00


Usually works for me without any problem, we see...
