Re: Remote swinstall

1) what are the errors?
2) You can do this wish ssh or remesh

ssh root@hostname swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /full_path_of_depot \*

You will be prompted for a password. Once given the process should run.

Re: Remote swinstall

John,

Can you mount the cd locally with

mount sunhost:/cdrom /cdrom

?

You could also try swcopy to fetch the desired depot from the remote cd, though I expect you'd have the same problems as swinstall.

The last guess would be to copy the depot from the cd to the local host with cp or something of the sort and then use swcopy to put into a local depot.

Re: Remote swinstall

You will have to export the CD from sun machine. (share command on Sun). Mount it on HP-UX as NFS mount.

Then run swinstall -s "path" product
