HP-UX SWA

Incantation to install swinstall:

swinstall -s /local/SwAssistant_C.01.02_HP-UX_11iv2+v3_IA_PA.depot

Depots need to be marked for installation inside the swinstall motif gui.

SWA itself is finicky about the specific version of the jre that it requires as well...

But it depends on having internet access to pull down a swa_catalog.xml file, and if your servers don't have that access...

So download it with firefox, scp it to the server, uncompress it, and:

# swa report -x catalog=swa_catalog.xml

And of course it doesn't run because it needs a later 'Gold Base Patches for HP-UX' bundle to be installed...
