Patch Installation

Chi Yi Lee — Tue, 20 Apr 2004 19:54:30 GMT

Hi,

I just downloaded a patch, but I'm not sure how to install it. I was thinking to use

# tar xvf PHSS_30049.tar
# swinstall -i

.... would this work? or do I need to make depot?

The tarball should include a readme file, a create depot script and your patches, similar to below. Once you untar the tarball, the create_depot file will create the depot for you. You can then run 'swinstall' without any options interactively and choose the newly created depot for install.

README_hp-ux
create_depot_hp-ux_11
PHCO_25569
PHCO_28605
PHCO_30030

create_depot_hp-ux_11 -d /full_path_of_depot

then

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /full_path_of_depot \*

After you untar it, you will get PHSS_30049.depot, do like following.Give full path like if patch is in /tmp than

#swinstall -s /tmp/PHSS_30049.depot
Swinstall window will be invoked. Select pach from menu and do analysis, and than install, check the logs for any errors etc.You need not to make a depot or register it if you do it by command line. While yo do untar there will be script which can do almost everything for you.
