How to INSTALL and use HP-UX SW tools
The following are notes covering the specific HP-UX 10.20 commands required to swcopy a licensed HP-UX Application from the media mounted on an HP-UX 9000/700 series workstation to an HP-UX SoftwareDepot on an HP-UX 9000/800 series server, and then install to the authorized workstation that application. The hostnames have been changed to protect the systems. The codewords displayed are NOT real. In the situation where these commands were used, the admin workstation is on the other end of the building and on a different floor than the server. The HP-UX 10.20 "sw" commands are typically accessible through SAM or the command line. When the GUI version of swinstall is used, the steps and menus selected will be noted. The reason for copying a licensed product to a DEPOT before installing is one to insure that the system may be rebuilt quickly in the event of hardware, typically the harddrive, failure. By placing it in a DEPOT I'm able to rebuild my workstation quickly without having to find the original CDROM. When supporting multiple systems it is imperative that tools like this are employed. Additional resources may be found at http://www.wagoneers.com/UNIX/HP-UX . See "Build" and related info. A summary of commands will appear at the end of this page.
