transfer software depot

[Jerry Sims]

How do you transfer a software depot from
one server to another ?

hi,

You could use a swcopy on the target server, but you sometimes have to deal with sw options. The simpliest way to do it is simply a tar (or rcp) or any tool to transfer the whole directory. You just have to register the depot after transfering using "swreg -l depot "

Hi,

You can use ftp

ftp ip-adres
bin
put depot

Hope this is what you mean ?

Kind regards,

Robert-Jan.

hi

if you want to transfer a depot only for install, you can run:

swreg -l product on the source server

swinstall on the remote and when it ask hostname insert the source and on depot if you click on the button you can see your depot.

If you don't have an online connection between those two servers, you can always create a "tape" depot (actually a tar/pax-file):

swpackage -x target_type=tape -s /your/org/depot '*' @ /tmp/your-tape.depot

then transfer that to the other server and read there:

swlist -d @ /tmp/your-tape.depot

or install from it:

swinstall -s /tmp/your-tape.depot

or copy it to a local directory:

swcopy -s /tmp/your-tape.depot -x enforce_dsa=false '*' @ /your/new/depot
