resolve errors from swcopy

[Brian Bartley]

Hello,
I'm trying to install this bundle: EventMonitoring_A.04.20.11.05_HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.depot.

The copy analysis says:
The prerequisite "SystemAdmin.SAM" for fileset "EMS-Config.EMS-GUI,r=A.04.20.11.05" cannot be successfully resolved.

SystemAdmin.SAM is on the target:
swlist -l fileset | grep -i systemadmin.sam
PHCO_35520.SAM 1.0 SystemAdmin.SAM
PHCO_35520.SAM-ENG-A-MAN 1.0 SystemAdmin.SAM-ENG-A-MAN
PHCO_35520.SAM-HELP 1.0 SystemAdmin.SAM-HELP
SystemAdmin.SAM B.11.11 System Administration Manager
SystemAdmin.SAM-ENG-A-MAN B.11.11 SAM-ENG-A-MAN
SystemAdmin.SAM-HELP B.11.11 On-line Help for System Adminstration Manager
SystemAdmin.SAM-JPN-E-MAN B.11.11 SAM-JPN-E-MAN
SystemAdmin.SAM-JPN-S-MAN B.11.11 SAM-JPN-S-MAN

What step should I take, should I turn off the "enforce dependency" option and copy anyways? I'm trying to copy the depot file's contents to /var/spool/sw so I can run swinstall to install it. Thanks,

Brian

Shalom Brian,

turning off enforce dependency will probably do no good.

Reason: It is saying you don't have the software installed you are trying to patch.

swcopy is used to build depots, not install them.

Have you tried swinstall ?

Hi Brian:

> What step should I take, should I turn off the "enforce dependency" option

If you mean to do this to add software to a depot, then add '-x enforce_dependencies=false' to your 'swcopy'. This also dependency analysis to be skipped when building a depot.

When you actually install software, add '-x enforce_dependencies=true' (which is the default). Then, dependency analysis is enforced and satisfied as long as either the depot or the server has the necessary requisite software.

Regards!

Hi Brian,

Use swinstall -s /location-of-depot/bundle.depot to install it.


for example copy (cp or mv) the depot to /tmp and do:

# swinstall -s /tmp/EventMonitoring_A.04.20.11.05_HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.depot

Hi Steven,
You asked if I tried swinstall, it turns out it does seem to help if I run the install analysis there instead of with swcopy. I feel more comfortable with the terminal interface than command line. Although my post said I was trying to install the EMS bundle, it's really the Online diag bundle I'm trying to install, and it led me to the EMS bundle that I posted about

I ran the swinstall analysis on the online diag depot and got this:

So I appear to be getting close, only one fileset has an error. It's looking for these:
EMS-Config.EMS-GUI,r>=A.04.20.11
EMS-Core.EMS-CORE,r>=A.04.20.11
MS-Core.EMS-MX,r>=A.04.20.11

When I try to get the EMS software I get more errors:

So I got the WBEMSvcs_A.02.07.06_HP-UX_B.11.11_32_64.depot and tried the analysis on it, I won't post it, but it wants Openssl as a prereq.

I wonder if I need a different strategy, or do I really need to install Openssl, WBEMS, and EMS just to update my Online Diag? The reason I want the OnlineDiag is because my tech support person at HP says I need to get to ver A.63 of STM in order to troubleshoot the critical single-bit memory errors we're getting in the STM logs.

Hi Brian,


Been there, done that...

:-)


Yes we had to install all of the pre-req bundles and patches in order to get everything up to date for the latest STM & EMS versions.

Hi Brian,

Since the log says as "You must resolve the above dependencies before operating on
this fileset or change the "enforce_dependencies" option to
"false". "

Did you try to install with enforce_dependencies=false ? Just try and see whether you get any errors. If it goes well you can ensure it is the problem with dependencies not available or installed. ANyway, I will not prefer to intall these without all the needed dependencies.

>Ajesh: Did you try to install with enforce_dependencies=false? Just try and see whether you get any errors. If it goes well

This isn't something you should "just try". If it doesn't "go well", you may have to reinstall your OS. And if it "goes well", you may not know it really didn't, until much later.

>I will not prefer to install these without all the needed dependencies.

Right, that's the safe approach.

[Brian Bartley]

Thanks for all the replies, I've arrived at the point where the install analysis says I can install STM now.
