HP UX System Management Software manual Change Depot Location note

Figure 64 Change Depot Location note

Ignite-UX does not dynamically update from a newly selected depot. When you choose a new depot, it must be identical in content to the current one. If the new depot is not identical to the current one, use make_config on the Ignite-UX server to configure the new depot prior to invoking Ignite-UX.

Use the Change Depots Locations dialog box to select a different depot.

Figure 65 Change Depot Locations

Use the Server: and Depot: text boxes to identify the new depot. Click Modify to update the depot information within the dialog box. Click OK to commit the modifications to the Ignite-UX server.

If you are installing from a golden image, the Change Depot Locations dialog box allows you to modify the archive server and the archive path.

If patches are kept in a separate depot, by default they are installed after the operating system. If there are multiple application depots to be installed, you may need to specify the installation order for the patches in a configuration file. For more information see, “Using configuration files” (page 161).

IMPORTANT: Inclusion of multiple versions of Veritas Volume Manager from Symantec (VxVM) in the same installation depot, or in separate depots that are used together in a single new installation session, is not supported. Doing so renders it unusable and generates errors when attempting to use the installation depot, or in the case of non-SD depots during the reboot attempt. For more information, see “Considerations when using Veritas Volume Manager from Symantec” (page 193).

Interactive swinstall An interactive swinstall session allows you to select a depot, change installation options, and perform other software installation tasks from the console window immediately before the software load phase of the installation. After selecting an interactive swinstall session, the following message will be displayed.
