Installing Critcal Patches

[Sean Kuruvilla]

Hello, My name is Sean and I am a very beginner UNIX user. My strengths are on the PC side. So please bear with me. I have a HP 9000L server running HP_UX 11.0.b on the server. I am trying to do a patch update on my server to bring it up to date. I ran the patch assessment on the HP site. I then download 2 of the 28 patches the assessment recommended via Script FTP option to my UNIX server. Then I ran the get_patches.sh script to Download the patches directly to my server. It downloaded the 2 patches that I needed to my UNIX server without any issues. After the system downloaded the files, I then ran the create_depot_hp-ux_11 script. The system went through the process and then gave me the following error message:

Does anyone know what can be done to solve this issue? I really need to get my server up to date.

Shalom,

I think your ftp scripted patch download terminated early.

I think you should re-run the get_patches comand.

Also make sure you re-run the create_depot command that unshar's the patches and creates the patch set.

Its also a very good idea to check the md5 checksum on your patch set before starting.

How do I do that? I ran the creat_hp file again and received the same results. I also ran the Get_patches command again and it told me that nothing more needed to be downloaded. I really need help. I have 28 pathces to load and I can't get a single one to work.

[IT_2007]

you need to rerun get_patches.sh script to Download the patches

[Sean Dale]

Why are you only dl'ing 2 of the 28 recommended patches? Were some of the others dependencies? I would suggest installing all the patches that are recommended.

[Sean Kuruvilla]

The reason, I am only downloading 2 of the 28 patches is becuase of space issues. When I download the whole patch I run out of space. Plus, I tried runnign the whole patch before and I got a whole bunch of errors. I really don't know what I can do. PLease any Idea's will work.

[Sean Dale]

I noticed one of the patches is PHCO_29621. What is the other one? Have you tried applying the other one by itself?

[Torsten.]

You should compare the checksum of downloaded patches and if you find a corrupted file, delete it and download again.
Be aware you cannot install some patches because of missing dependencies.
If you have some space somewhere available, you may create a temp filesystem to increase your space for the installation process.

[Sean Kuruvilla]

How do I check the checksum file and how do I create a new TMP directory to allocate more space for These types of Downloads. Please Advise?

[Torsten.]

On the download page you will find the checksum information like

Checksum: 161235326 1285931

You should run the cksum command and compare the values.
