More Examples

The ﬁrst command in the example that follows copies all software (“*”)

from the path /release/s700_10.01_gsK/wszx6 at the network source

appserver to the target /mnt1/depot. The second command does the

same thing except that it copies only the software speciﬁed in the ﬁle

/tmp/langJ.

swcopy -s appserver.cup.hp.com:/release/s700_10.01_gsK/wszx6 \

"*" @:/mnt1/depot

swcopy -f /tmp/langJ -s hpclpep:/languages/gsJ @:/mnt1/depot

The following example builds a tape from the depot created in the

previous example:

swpackage -x target_type=tape -s /mnt1/depot -d /dev/rmt/0m "*"

NOTE Building a depot on tape or disk is a good use of the capabilities of SD,

but you are taking on some extra responsibility: if you build the depot

incorrectly, or incompletely, and the upgrade fails as a result, HP will not

treat this as an SD defect.
