Swcopy question ..

[someone_4]

Attached are the steps I am using to add a depot to a local depot server.

The steps are using the GUI.
I would like to know if the following command woudl take care of it.

swcopy -s /path/to/my_downloaded_depot \* @/depot/HP-UX/11.XX/Apps/

Or if I need more steps to do the same thing though the command line.

Thanks

Richard

Should do it, I think. You can use the -p option to test it out without actually copying anything to make sure the syntax is correct and it will actually do what you intend.

Hi Richard:

# swcopy -v -s /path_to_depot -x enforce_dependencies=false \* @ /var/tmp/swdepot

...is preferred since you are delaying the enforement of any dependencies until you actually do the 'swinstall'.

To see a depot's contents, do:

# swlist -d \* @ /path_to_depot

To install:

# swinstall -s /path_to_depot -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true

...Note that dependencies are enforced here and only patches that apply to the target server are applied.

Regards!
