I'm trying to install Ignite on a HP-UX server.
I'm basically trying to install the filesets needed for make_tape_recovery only. I have downloaded the depot software and placed it in my server
The full path name of the depot software is /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot
I executed swinstall on a xterm and the following error message appears
"The default source "/var/spool/sw" does not exist or is not a valid source and there are no other registered depots on hm1. You can type in the depot path on this host or choose a different host"
The source directory /var/spool/sw does exits but swinstall does not seem to recognise this.
How should I proceed on from here
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
Comment out the mount for the cdrom in /etc/fstab and try again.
Try installing non-interactively as an alternative.
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot \*
This should work. I don't think the Ignite install willactually boot the server, so you might be able to get away without either -x directive.
Next step
/sbin/init.d/swagend stop
/sbin/init.d/swagend start
try again, the non-interactive is faster.

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
Try using
# swinstall -s /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot

SolutionEither you register the depot using,
swreg -l depot -s /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot
or
swcopy -s /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot
@ /var/spool/sw
and swinstall -s /var/spool/sw
or
as other people also have suggested and which is the simplest way,
swinstall -s /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
I don't see a problem here. This is normal behaviour for swinstall when you start the GUI. It looks for a depot in the default directory, which is "/var/spool/sw"
Just because the "/var/spool/sw" exists, does not mean it is registered as a depot on the system, and it sounds like there is nothing in it anyway. In fact, the message tells you that you don't have any registered depots on the system at all.
So, you can do the command line swinstall command that others have suggested, or you can just go ahead and type the path of the depot into the swinstall GUI and install it that way.
Good luck,
Ollie.

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
It may be primitive to suggest this . Try registering the software depot with swreg command and try .
Hope this works.

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
So if the depot is not registered, I have to specify the full path?
#swinstall -s /var/spool/sw/Ignite-UX-10-20_A.3.7.95_HP-UX_B.10.01_700+800.depot
Anyway I intend to install only a few filesets, enought to do make_tape_recovery.
Does Ignite require a license to use?
Thanks

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
Ignite does not require a licence.
Unless you have disk space issues, you're probably as well to install the whole ignite-ux package. Gives you more features etc & you'll be sure that you don't have problems if certain filesets are missing etc.

Re: swinstall can't find Source Depot Path
In relation to the sw path problem in http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=206660, I have a registered depot and mount points are or ok. The problem I see is with swagentd not running ...
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start
ERROR: Unable to restart swagentd after initializing networking.
In the same session it previously saw the depot and proceeded to do the swcheck but I had to abort because of not enough space, which has been resolved, but the depot is not seen anymore?

Stuart
