Softwaer install

[Indrajit Bhagat]

I am trying to list the content of depot, stored at /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

But i am getting error.

# swlist -l -d :/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot
ERROR: An invalid level was given for the successful execution of
"swlist". The valid levels are: "root", "depot", "bundle",
"product", "subproduct", "fileset", "file", "shroot",
"prroot", "category", "patch", "control_file".
ERROR: Command line parsing failed.


Can you please help me out how to view the content of the depot and how to install the depot.

Read the message!

# swlist -l -d :/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

How about "-l" option?

Include something there, for example

# swlist -l product -d :/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

[Torsten.]

For installation you will use

swinstall -s :/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

or

swinstall -s :/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot \*

Hi,

I am getting following error:

# swlist -l product -d pdchpux4:/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "servername"...
ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at "/var/spool/sw".
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "servername" at
location "/var/spool/sw". Make sure that an absolute pathname
is specified for location (beginning with "/").

[Torsten.]

If the depot is on the same (local) system, this will work too:

swlist -s tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

For a remote server you need to run swreg on the remote server first to register the depot.

Then use

swlist -s :/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

[Torsten.]

bad copy'n'paste - should be

swlist -s /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

Hi,

I tried to run like this, something like this:

# swlist -d -l product @ /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "pdchpux4"...
#
# Target: pdchpux4:/tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot
#

less 416 less
#


can you please suggest, it is ok..
how to install this depot.

[Torsten.]

Looks good.

Interactive:

swinstall -s /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot

non-interactive:

swinstall -s /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot \*

[SUDHAKAR_18]

I tried to install through non interactive session,

I am getting the following output:


# swinstall -s /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot \*

# cat

[Torsten.]

By default swinstall will try to mount everything listed in /etc/fstab.

Now something is not mounted, because of this you get the error.

Disable the check with:

swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s /tmp/patches/less-416-ia64-11.23.depot \*

how to check whethere the installation is been sucessfull.

[Torsten.]

>> Analysis and Execution succeeded

No errors at - try to run it!

Note, you probably need to adjust your PATH (maybe it is enough to logout and back in).


Question solved now?

Feedback please.

Run following commands

swinstall ( you will reach to sam)

Then give the location of depot there. After this select the contents present in depot and go to option tab and press change option. After entering there unselect the following tab

Mount filesystems in /etc/fstab or /etc/checklist

After this go to action tab and press install option.

Your depot will get installed

Thanks

[Torsten.]

@SKR, you are a little bit too late ...

Hello Indrajit,

to look/check for the installed files from the package use:
# swlist -l file less

regards,
ivan

[Bob E Campbell]

OK, You really want some fun try out "swlist -i". It will let you perform an interactive swlist. You can still specify targets and such as others have shown.
