Resolution

Find the installers on the Primary hub at the following location:

   /opt/nimsoft/install/setup

.depot.gz file is located here and you can copy it to the /opt directory on the system where you want to install the robot.

If you don't have the file in the location, you can simply deploy the HP-UX robot package from your archive,

 

...to your Primary Hub then the file will be available at the location.

After that, it is the same basic process as using an .rpm file:

1. Copy the .depot.gz to the /opt directory on the target system
   
   
2. Create the nms-robot-vars.cfg answer file also in /opt
   
   
3. Extract the .gz file, e.g., /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip /opt/(filename).depot.gz
   
   
4. Execute the following commands to install the robot
   
      /usr/sbin/swinstall –s /opt/(filename).depot \*
      cd /opt/nimsoft/install
      /bin/sh RobotConfigurer.sh

            This should complete the installation.

      5. To start the robot, run the following command: 

           /opt/nimsoft/bin/niminit start
