If you save all your depots for HP-UX in the same place, here are some tips for SD-UX.

Example:

Contents

1. List depots, products
2. Copy remote depot to myDepotServer
3. Delete product, filesets from depot
4. Install product

List depots, products

List all depots:

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l depot -s myDepotServer

Copy new products only in the same structure as exist on the myDepotServer, please.

List products in selected depot: (example)

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l product -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.31/Apps/HP/WBEMMgmtBundle/C.03.01

Look for software NparProvider in all depots on myDepotServer.

# swlist -ldepot -s myDepotServer| grep -i 11.31|grep -v -i swa \
                    |awk '{printf("echo %s;swlist -l product -s myDepotServer:%s \
                    |grep -i nparprovider\n",$1,$1)|"/bin/sh"}'

Copy remote depot to myDepotServer

• Login in myDepotServer
• switch to root user
• select the right destination depot directory

# /usr/sbin/swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s RemoteDepotServer:/var/spool/sw \* @ myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Patches

Copy all software, there stay on RemoteDepotServer in depot /var/spool/sw to destination myDepotServer in depot /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Patches. If you would like to copy a single product or fileset, replace the \* with your product or fileset. If the destination directory does not exist, swcopy will create it and register the new depot. You must add the option -x enforce_dependencies , else if swcopy can't resolve the dependencies, the copy process fails. After copy process is ready, check if the destination depot is clean.

# /usr/sbin/swverify -x enforce_dependencies=false -d \* @ myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Patches

Also check, if you can make a list of the products or filesets in the destination depot.

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l product -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Patches
# /usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Patches

Delete product, filesets from depot

If you would like delete a fileset, product or depot you can do following:

Delete fileset from depot

# swremove -d \* @ myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Apps/HP/OnlineDiag/20.03

\* means delete all software from depot and delete the depot.

Install product

If you install a product on remote host, use following steps:

• login on destination host
• change to root
• check if the requirements for installation are solved
• example filesystem space, software, if software req. reboot...
• run a preview install

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Apps/HP/OnlineDiag/20.03 \*

Install all software in depot /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Apps/HP/OnlineDiag/20.03

If the installed software needs a reboot, add the option -x autoreboot=true.

For patch depot installation add following option (example):

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/patch_depot_ex

Or if you need install a single patch(example):

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/patch_depot_ex PHSS_34011

If the preview run returns without errors or warnings, run the same command without -p option.

# swinstall -s myDepotServer: /SoftwareDepot/11.11/Apps/HP/OnlineDiag/20.03 \*
