Problem Installing Depot on HPUX 11i!

[Steve Heck_1]

I am having problems installing a depot on HPUX 11i.

There is currently on host "Sony2" at location "/cdrom". Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/").

I think I might be having a network/hostname problem.

# nslookup Sony2
Using /ect/hosts on: Sony2

looking up Files
Name: Sony2
Address: 127.0.0.1

Thanks!

What are you trying to install from the cd? Chances are you need to traverse further into the directory.

ll /cdrom

ex. swinstall -s /cdrom/bundle_name

As you tranverse further into the /cdrom directory, depending on the cdrom you have you may find multiple depots.

swinstall -s /cdrom/bundle1
swinstall -s /cdrom/bundle2

These can coincide with hardware enablement patches, firmware patches, software patches, etc...

[Rick Garland]

One other option.
You can register a depot at the /cdrom

swreg -l depot /cdrom

NOTE: You may have to install the packages in a specified order. Do read up on this 1st.

Documentation on software depots. Chapter 4 is of interest.

I have the depot at:

/cdrom/ddk11_23.1.0.depot

[erics_1]

Okay. To select the depot and bring up the GUI/TUI:

swinstall -s /cdrom/ddk11_23.1.0.depot

To install non-interactively:

swinstall -s /cdrom/ddk11_23.1.0.depot \*

If the depot requires a reboot:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /cdrom/ddk11_23.1.0.depot \*

swreg -l depot /cdrom/ddk11_23.1.0.depot

[Steve Heck_1]

It is having problems with B11_23DDK.

swinstall -s /ddk11_23.1.0.depot B11_23DDK

The following works but only the DOCS are installed.

swinstall -s /ddk11_23.1.0.depot

When I use SD via View Depot Software I see the contents of B11_23DDK but can't install them. Only the DOCs are available for install.

What version of the OS are you running?
uname -a -->Should return 11.23

When you highlight the depot for install and go through analysis, does SD mark the depot as 'yes' or 'partial'? Can you get more information after analysis by selecting the 'log' option. We need to find out why the product wasn't selected. You can also look at swinstall.log and swagent.log as well. Post any pertinent info.

Do you get the same error when you register via the swreg command?

Can you try to put the file onto hard drive?

# cd /cdrom
# find . -depth | cpio -pmuldv /tmp
This command will put the ddk11_23.1.0.depot file into the tmp directory.

# swreg -l depot \* @ /tmp/ddk11_23.1.0.depot
To register the depot.

# swlist -l depot
Will list all depot(s) on the system. Should see the /tmp/ddk11_23.1.0.depot in this list.

Invoke the GUI/TUI and select the source.

If this doesn't work, there is something wrong with the depot file from the cdrom.

I am using 11.11 so that must be the problem.

Is there a DDK available for 11.11?

HI,
Is there any error during Analysis Phase. If that is ok see whether the execution phase completed without any error. Have a thorough look at the swinstall logfile.

You have 11.11 (11i v1), so you should download the correct version of DDK from

http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechSoftwareDetailPage_IDX/1,1703,5566,00.html

Look at the downloads section on this page ...

[Steve Heck_1]

Yes I found the 11.11 DDK.

Thanks!
