In the remote server(source) check for the packages that are depoted


root@ecarh4c0:/hroot# swlist -l depot
# Initializing...

To Check the installed packages:(in a previously installed server)

ec5ahn07:/root# swlist -l product | grep -i gnu
  GNUbase               B.11.23.20.12  GNU Software support
  Gettext               0.10.39.9      GNU gettext NLS library
  GnuPG                 A.11.00-1.4.7.001 Tool for secure communication and data storage        //our req pkg
  Less                  B.11.23.20.12  GNU Less (385)


To find the source from where the required package was installed:

ec5ahn07:/root# swlist -a install_source GnuPG
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "ec5ahn07"...
#
# Target:  ec5ahn07:/
#

# GnuPG                         ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps       //source path of pkg
  GnuPG.GNUPG-DOC               ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps
  GnuPG.GNUPG-LIB               ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps
  GnuPG.GNUPG-MAN               ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps
  GnuPG.GNUPG-RUN               ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps
  GnuPG.GNUPG-SHA               ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps
  GnuPG.GNUPG-SRC               ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps

In target server, first check for the package:

ec5ahp03:/root# swlist -l product | grep -i gnu
  GNUbase               B.11.23.20.12  GNU Software support
  Gettext               0.10.39.9      GNU gettext NLS library
  Less                  B.11.23.20.12  GNU Less (385)

Then install it from the remote source:
//imp to specify the "pkg name" else whole pkg from the remote soruce dir will be installed which could
even initiate a reboot sometimes. eg swinstall -s  

ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps

ec5ahp03:/root# swinstall -s ecarh4c0.bc:/var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/apps GnuPG
