Copy Tasks and Examples
This section provides examples of commands for copying software products. (See also “Additional
Depot Management Tasks and Examples” (page 97).)
Simple swcopy Examples
To copy all products from the DAT tape at /dev/rmt/0m to the default depot (/var/spool/sw)
on the local host:
swcopy -s /dev/rmt/0m \*
To copy a list of software selections (on a local CD-ROM) named in the file mysoft to a depot at
the path /depots/mydep/ on the host named hostA and preview the process before actually
copying the software:
swcopy -p -f mysoft -s /mnt/cd @ hostA:/depots/mydep/
Using Software Codewords and Customer IDs
The swcopy command may prompt you for codewords if you try to access codeword protected
software. You can also enter new codewords from the command line or from the GUI. This process
is identical to that used by swinstall. See “Using Software Codewords and Customer IDs ”
(page 50) for more information.
Multiple Software Products in Depots
Software is packaged into products. Depots can store multiple versions of a product.
If a product version already exists in the depot, swcopy will not replace it unless the reinstall
option is set to true. If this option is true, then the product is recopied.
If other versions of the product already exist in the depot, swcopy copies in the new version and
the others are not changed.
