Setting Up Access to Support Plus
Chapter 118
Setting Up Hard Disk Access
If more than two systems must access the depot, or if you cannot dedicate
the CD drive to the Support Plus CD, HP recommends that you copy the
patch depots to a hard disk using the swcopy command.
For example, with the CD mounted at /
cdrom , enter
swcopy -s /
cdrom /HWEnable11i \* @ /var/tmp/MyDepot
This command copies the contents of the HWEnable11i depot to the local
system under the /var/tmp/MyDepot directory. The new depot is
registered automatically for remote systems to use.
Notes •If the swcopy interactive user interface appears, then you may need
to enter additional information.
• HP recommends that you do not merge depots created on different
versions of HP-UX, for example, 10.x and 11.x. HP recommends that
both the host system and depot should have the same major HP-UX
version, for example, HP-UX 11.x versions.
In this guide, HP-UX 11.x encompasses the HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX
11i v1 versions.
