Swcopy Depot

[Angela Shepherd]

Hello,

I need some instructions to create a depot to install HWE100, DIAGNOSTICS, QPK1100, from the September 2002 HP-UX 11.00 Diagnostics and tested patch bundle. Gigabit Ethernet drivers A4929A and J1642AA from the September 2002 Application Software CD. I need to add several System 800 patches to this depot and need the depot process without dependencies.

Use swcopy to copy the bundles from the cd to /var/spool/sw (or anywhere else you have room), then invoke swinstall and you can install everything in one pass with only one reboot.

You can change the enforce dependencies option both during the copy and during the install - I'm not sure which you meant but I would be very careful about doing it during the install.

Hello, Angie

# swcopy -s /SD_CDROM/HWE1100 \* @/path/to/depot -x enforce_dependencies=false

# swcopy -s /SD_CDROM/QPK1100 \* @/path/to/depot -x enforce_dependencies=false

# swcopy -s /SD_CDROM/DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.00 \* @/path/to/depot -x enforce_dependencies=false

# swcopy -s /any/other/bundles \* @/path/to/depot -x enforce_dependencies=false


Hope this helps

Hello,

Sorry, put the -x enforce_dependencies=false before the "@"
