====SD/UX Corrupt Index=====
A list of what products are installed under HP-UX is kept in 
/var/adm/sw/products/INDEX</b> . If this gets corrupted, SD/UX errors occur and
it may become unusable. The INDEX can be recreated as follows:

  1. mv /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX.old
  2. cd /var/adm/sw/products
  3. for i in `find . -name INDEX`
     do
     cat $i >> INDEX
     done

This should create a usable INDEX

A list of depots is kept in /var/adm/sw/host_object

An alternative method (sent in by Charlie Brown and tested against HP-UX 11.00) follows.
This method involves creating a dummy package, moving the INDEX file and installing the 
dummy package so that the INDEX is rebuilt.

<code>
  1. cd /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX
  2. Create a package called "void" using swpackage -s ./void.psf
      The void.psf file must contain the following lines:

      product
      tag void
      fileset
      tag void

  3. mv INDEX INDEX.old
  4. swinstall void - This will cause the INDEX file to be rebuilt as it is missing.
  5. swremove void
</code>
