swpackage

[Cleymans Edwin]

Hi folks,
In order to customize +/-100 HP-UX workstations and +/- 10 HP-UX servers,I intend to set up a SD-UX depot structure with SD-UX (swpackage). This will simplify the customization of a system to a simple "swinstall" and a later verify on the customization to a simple "swverify".
Most of the stuff is extra symbolic links, and the classic /etc - files.
Any tips and tricks ?

Hi,

Creating a depot from a psf file is not too difficult. There are quite a number of parameters that you need to get familiar with in order to take full advantage of the swpackage commands.

man swpackage - how to use swpackage
man 5 swpackage - psf file format (important)

Once you understand how to create psf file after going through the second man page, it is a matter of running swpackage on the psf file.

Look at the section 'creating swpackage' in the following manual

It's more of how you to configure your psf file than anything. Take a look at this doc for more details.
