Swinstall - - - Help!!!

[Tracie Davis]

Can someone please tell me what the procedures are to install software from a hpux 10.20 box with a tape drive to another box without a tape drive?

I have tried the swinstall procedures changing the source depot path and source hostname but it is giving me an error "you do not have the permission to perform this SD operation -- please check using swacl"

Hi Tracie,

I think you're problem can be solved by simply registering the tape depot on the first system. Once registered you can than point the 2nd system to the "tape depot" on the original host.

To register the tape depot simply do the following:

System with tape drive:
# swreg -l depot /dev/rmt/0m

System without tape drive:
# swinstall -s host_with_tape_drive:/dev/rmt/0m

Select the software you want to load, go to "Actions" and "Install"

I hope this is helpful, if it doesn't work let me know.
