swinstall problem on 11.11

[Bob Manocchia]

I've swcopied a software depot to the default depot (/var/adm/sw). I then tried to swinstall from a remote system. Some work and some don't. The servers which do not work give me the following message when I try to access the depot /var/adm/sw.

"There is currently no depot software on host "servername" at location /var/adm/sw." Make sure that an absolute pathname is specified for location (beginning with "/").

Any ideas what's wrong here??

Bob,

Try specifying the depot name with swinstall:

swinstall -s hostname: /var/adm/sw/depot_name.depot

Hi Bob,

You should always give full path to the depot.
else, swagent won't find the depot.

# swinstall -s

-Arun

hello,

Sometimes after stopping and restarting the agent it's better:

swagentd -r
swinstall -s hostname:/var/adm/sw/depot_name

Hope this helps

I have been supplying the full path name. I tried the following:

swinstall -s dione:/var/adm/sw/ISEEPlatform

and received the same error.

You may need to register the depots that don't work.

on the 'dione' machine:

# swreg -l depot /var/adm/sw/depotname.depot

Where the depotname.depot is the name of the depot you want to register.

I was referencing the wrong path. My mistake. Thanks for the help.
