swinstall in command line

[Eric Chamard]

Hi,

I try to install LUM (downloaded on IBM site) with swinstall in command line, but I have some errors : (the tar file and the files from the tar : LUM and catalog are in /tmp)

# swinstall -x match_target=true -s /tmp

======= 08/16/02 11:10:23 EDT BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive)

* Session started for user "root@catia-0".

* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "catia-0:/".
* Source connection succeeded for "catia-0:/tmp".
ERROR: Cannot continue the "swinstall" task.
* Selection had errors.



======= 08/16/02 11:10:26 EDT END swinstall SESSION (non-interactive)

or

# swinstall -x match_target=true -s /tmp/arkhpux465.tar

======= 08/16/02 11:15:20 EDT BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive)

* Session started for user "root@catia-0".

Do you know the problems ?
regards

PS.: I'm able to install it with the swinstall -s /tmp command only

Eric,

The file may not be HP swpackage compatible. Read /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log for more info on the actual error.

hi,

Whenever I found this error on my swinstall screen I tried the following:
a) tar -xvf tarfile
b) Invoke swinstall again or use the GUI.
OR
a) Download again and try again

Hi Eric,
Please un-chieve your .tar file before install the software! Just like:
#tar xvf arkhpux465.tar
Then:
#swinstall -x match_target=true -s /source_dir

Good luck!
