Images ----- 0 ) Exit Enter Option Number: The choose from the following menu options: 1 General Configurations This function sets the server from where the installation depot will be obtained. The format accepted is the same as option -s to the swinstall command. The following example configures a server called server.abc.com and a depot location on /release/1123.0706/ic054 as the depot server: General Configurations ====================================== 1 ) Set Source Depot ----- 0 ) Return Enter Option Number: 1 In this option you can set the location of the depots of the application to be installed on the target system. It can be a hostname or a local directory. Depots source currently configured: NONE Depots source (type 'q' to return) Enter the full path for the depot location. For example: server.abc.com:/release/1123.0706/ic054 2 Manage Applications Use this menu to list the depots installed on the server, and to select the depots to consolidate and the directories with the application data. Entering this option displays the following menu: Manage Applications ====================================== 1 ) List Applications 2 ) Select Applications 3 ) Add Data Directories/Files 4 ) Consolidate Applications ----- 0 ) Return List Applications This option lists the products installed on the server. You can obtain the names of the depots to consolidate from this listing. The list returned does not contain Operational Environment related packages. The list of packages to exclude is stored in a configuration file (see the Add Data Directories/Files item in this list). For example: Manage Applications ====================================== 1 ) List Applications 2 ) Select Applications 3 ) Add Data Directories/Files 4 ) Consolidate Applications ----- 0 ) Return Enter Option Number: 1 ACXX C.06.00 HP aC++ BullseyeCoverIA 7.5.61 HP-UX IA C-ANSI-C C.06.10 HP C/ANSI C Compiler C-Dev-Tools B.11.23.11 C Language Development Tools gcc 4.1.0 gcc gdbm 1.8.3 gdbm . . vim 7.0 vim xpm 3.4k xpm zlib 1.2.3 zlib The listing shown on your system might differ from this example. Select Applications A list of depots (space separated) is the input to this option. The script verifies whether the depots displayed belong to the list of installed software. The following example shows the addition of four depots (belonging to the web server suite): Manage Applications ====================================== 1 ) List Applications 2 ) Select Applications 3 ) Add Data Directories/Files 4 ) Consolidate Applications ----- 0 ) Return Enter Option Number: 2 Select Applications ============================== Please enter the list of depots to be installed on the target system, separated by spaces. You can list the applications using the first option of this menu. Depots list (type 'q' to return): Enter the names of the depots. For example: hpuxwsAPACHE hpuxwsTOMCAT hpuxwsWEBMIN hpuxwsXML Add Data Directories/Files Specifies the directories or files that contain the application configuration and data. Enter absolute paths that refer to directories and files that already exist. Some known, system-level directories are rejected by default (such as ./, /var, and /usr). If you specify a software depot, p2vassist reads the data directories from the depot definition. These directories appear as a suggestion to the user. Manage Applications ====================================== 1 ) List Applications 2 ) Select Applications 3 ) Add Data Directories/Files 4 ) Consolidate Applications ----- 0 ) Return Enter Option Number: 3 Please enter the list of directories/files to be transferred to the target system, separated by spaces. The following directories are obtained by examining the depot configuration, you may copy them to the prompt below in order to be used: /opt/hpws/apache /opt/hpws/tomcat /opt/hpws/webmin List (type ENTER to return): For example: List (type <Enter> to return): /opt/hpws/apache /opt/hpws/tomcat /opt/hpws/webmin Consolidate Applications Consolidates the selected applications, along with their directories and files, to the specified server. For example: Manage Applications ====================================== 1 ) List Applications 2 ) Select Applications 3 ) Add Data Directories/Files 4 ) Consolidate Applications ----- 0 ) Return Enter Option Number: 4 Consolidate Applications ============================== This option will consolidate application(s) installed on the current system and then migrate into another a suitable target system. The target system is the machine which will host the consolidated application(s). This wizard requires that non-interactive Secure Shell (ssh) access be set up between this system and the target server.

Then type the depot names at the prompt. For example: Manage Applications ====================================== 1 ) List Applications 2 ) Select Applications 3 ) Add Data Directories/Files 4 ) Consolidate Applications ----- 0 ) Return Enter Option Number: 2 Select Applications ============================== Please enter the list of depots to be installed on the target system, separated by spaces. You can list the applications using the first option of this menu. Depots list (type 'q' to return): hpuxwsAPACHE hpuxwsTOMCAT hpuxwsWEBMIN hpuxwsXML After setting the depots, choose the directories to be transferred, along with the installed product. The p2vassist utility scans the configuration of the depots to make a list of the directories. To specify a directory, copy the string to the prompt.
