Hi All

I am trying to install one s/w from cdrom in hp-ux 10.20 but i am getting the error "Cannot establish lock file on target file".Can anyone help on this.Urgent help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
RK.
 
Hi Ranjank,

This is caused by a missing lock file in the catalog sub-directory
of the depot. To fix the problem, you would need to issue the touch(1)
command as root to create a file called swlock in the appropriate
directory:

cd /depot_path/catalog
touch swlock

where depot_path is the full path to the depot location.
