Unable to create a depot

[Nagu SR]

Hi,
Recently I have downloaded "VM Cumulateive patch" for HP-UX 11.31 Server. While creating a depot, I'm getting a error. I have attached the output of "create_depot_hpux.11.31".

Out of the 3 servers I have, could successfully create a depot in one server. But in rest of the two server, it is giving error and not able to create a depot.

Could you please help me...

Have you checked the logs.

More information may be found in the agent logfile using the
command "swjob -a log oslux36b-0147 @ oslux36b:/tmp/depot/depot".

Its not copying one patch to the depot.

Thanks

Hi,
Go through SAM install new software,
then define path and other detail.

Have anlaysed the log. It says, daemon is not running. Which daemon is required to create a depot??

Have attached log file

[Ralph Grothe]

$ UNIX95= ps -C swagentd
PID TTY TIME CMD
2408 ? 04:38 swagentd

Run "/sbin/init.d/swagentd start".

There is no need to create the depot 3 times. You can simply install from the first depot you created.

But that would still fail if swagentd isn't running.

Hi,

Check weather swagentd is ruuning?
# ps -ef | grep swagentd
If its not running please start the process.
# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r
If the process is running, then restart the process

# /usr/sbin/swagentd -k
# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

One more Suggestion.......,

You have already have created one depot. If the server is accesable through n/w, you can install the patch using the same depot. Use either swreg Or NFS mount.

First of all, you don't have to create a depot more than once, just copy the depot directory from one computer to another.
For the third computer it seems to me, you don't have enough space in /tmp

Read Dennis' post !!!


HP Software-Distributer is just that, a software distibutor.

swcopy the software onto one and only one server. Install all other servers from that one repository. Save yourself some time and effort !!

Cannot believe we continue to see posts like this and responses to continue creating multiple copies of software all over the place.

Hello,

yesterday, I have restarted swagentd process by `/usr/sbin/swagentd -r`. after which Deopt got created.

Frankly sppeking, I have done this before I saw the reply for my query.
Thanks all for your support.

One Update-- Though systems are in network, I have a requirement of creating a depot in each server. I have tried copying the depot from one server(where i could create successfully first time) and registering it by `swreg` . But couldnt register as well. I tried it (registering) after restarting swagentd. I could register.

Thx all

I could create a depot after restarting swagetd daemon
