Re: latest patch bundle

Hi Cem,

To know what you may install, run a patch assement at:

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/assessSystemsPage.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|

You will need to run a cpm_collect.sh script and upload your system information...

Quality packs are sets of patches considered important for your servers, depending of the OS version...

Re: latest patch bundle

Hi,
you can download the latest patch bundle from
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releaseIndexPage.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.bundle|

Quality pack is for HP-UX 11.0 whereas Goldbase is for HP-UX 11i

Latest patch bundle installed in baan01 is of Dec 2002, and in baan02 it is Dec 2003.

we install the patch bundle as when it is released, It keeps your system upto date.
never give up

Re: latest patch bundle

Hi,
i have downloaded cpm_collect.sh and when i run ;

baan01:/tmp#sh cpm_collect.sh
cpm_collect.sh[87]: ^M: not found.
cpm_collect.sh[93]: ^M: not found.

Warning! One or more of your selected locales are not available.
Please invoke the commands "locale" and "locale -a" to verify your
selections and the available locales.

Continuing processing using the "C" locale.

cpm_collect.sh[101]: Syntax error at line 197 : `elif' is not expected.

On the other hand i have found collect.sh
on my srv and when i run it generated
a file like PSIFILE-050111-baan01.txt

Re: latest patch bundle

HP has a classification of patches that may be basically be explained like this :
. Superseeded
. Recommended
. Newest
First ones have been replaced. They can be said "old" but still available. Third are the latest patches. They may correct problems you encounter, but are not widely used and they may have side-effects not already seen.
So, "good ones" are the sconds : Recommended. Those patches correct know bugs or implement new features. They are old enough to be considered safe.
Periodicaly, HP release a set of those as a Quality pack.

Advantages of using those QPK :
. When having multiple servers, it can be a common basis to work on, and have all servers at the same patch level.
. When having a problem, it is easiest to deal with support telling which QPK you have, than telling them the hendreds of patches you have.
. As they are stable enough, you can consider it as a security for you not to encounter problems needing patches.
. Big products such as Oracle recommends to apply latest QPK to support your server.

Disadvantages of using QPK :
... I don't know :)

I believe GOLDBASE is for 11i and QPK for 11.00. But I'm not absolutely sure.

Regards,

Fred

Re: latest patch bundle

The error

baan01:/tmp#sh cpm_collect.sh
cpm_collect.sh[87]: ^M: not found.
cpm_collect.sh[93]: ^M: not found.

May be due to fault in FTP client, the file remains in dos format.

Try

dos2ux cpm_collect.sh > cpm_collect.sh_

to convert to unix format and run the resulting script. Now the script should work.

Hope this helps

Re: latest patch bundle

Hi,

If you used ftp, you must transfer the cpm_collect.sh script via ASCII MODE... On DOS prompt, do:

c:\ftp
Connnected
...
User:...
Password:..
...
ftp> ASCII
200 Type set to A.
...
ftp> put cpm_collect.sh
