swcopy and swinstall problem

[Vijaya Kumar_3]

i am trying to install some .depot files.
i have around 5 depot files and i am trying to create my own depot.
I did a swcopy and got these errors.

ERROR: Entry for filesystem "/dev/dsk/c6t2d0" in "/etc/fstab" could
not be mounted. If you do not want this file system mounted,
comment it out of the "/etc/fstab" file, or set the
"mount_all_filesystems" option to "false".
ERROR: Cannot continue the Analysis Phase until the previous errors
are corrected.

I commented this entry in /etc/fstab file. I did a swcopy again. Now the same error for different file system

Can someone tell me what am i doing wrong. I used this syntax for my swcopy command:
#pwd
/tmp
# mkdir patch_depot
# for i in *.depot
>do
>swcopy -s $i \* @ /tmp/patch_depot
>done

TIA,
Vijay

Hi,

in the swinstall and swcopy commands user the "-x mount_all_filesystems=false" option.

swinstall .... -x mount_all_filesystems=false .....

Hope this helps.

Vijay,

Use the "mount_all_filesystems" option:

swcopy -x mount_all_filesystems=false etc.

Or, in the gui version select the change options button and select the don't mount all filesystems tab

Vijay,
swcopy has -x option.

Try with
swcopy -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s $i \* @/tmp/patch_depot

HTH,
