Issue the following command:

# swa get -t target_depot

You are required to specify the depot. By default, a new depot is created.

NOTE: The swa get command requires superuser privileges. See swa-get(1M) for more information.

The swa get command uses the analysis file created by swa report to determine what software to download from HP.

As each patch is downloaded into the swcache, a notice is displayed on standard output.

. . . * Downloading Software from HP to Local Cache NOTE: Estimated total download size: x bytes. * Downloading PHCO_n (1 of x) . . .

Once the patches have been downloaded to the swcache directory, it is processed into the depot. SWA automatically uses MD5 cryptographic hash to verify patch integrity before unpacking downloaded patches. For more information on the location of the swcache directory, see Appendix A.
