You can install an Ignite server that will serve up depots for any of the OS's you listed. You can even store the Core OS for those releases and use the server to store boot images.

The procedure you follow, roughly is the golden image confiruation.

You can prepare the seperate dirs for those different versions. Any depot registered in those directories will be availabel to other hosts.

From clients you can instal it as follows.

swinstall -s hostname:/depot_path/depot_file -x "options"

Hi Ralf,
Ignite Server is the right option of having multiple OS, Software depot respective to those particular OS version's. See the link below on setuping up the Ignite server which is capable of handling muliple OS and related software depots.

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90837/B2355-90837.html

And in case you are not setting up ignite server then use:
1. creat depot directory
2. use swcopy to copy depots files to this directory.
3. register that directory so that it can be used on network.
# swreg -l depot
4. repeat steps 1-3 for all other versions you have.

Hope that helps.
Regards,
