Support Plus CD - Install

D Block 2 — Fri, 21 May 2004 16:43:53 GMT

I recevied a new server, and the December 2003 Foundation OE. The install went fine, and I loaded a product Mirror/UX. things are fine.

But, I wanted to install the Support Plus CD, figuring there are some last minute things that did not get on the DART release (CD).

I created the Depots for: GOLDQPK11i and HWEnable11i.

I mark for install and then selected Manage_Patch_Seclection, and check-off Automatically select patches for sw/ installed.

This is my question: Why do I come up EMPTY, there are not Quality GOLDAPPS11i and GOLDBASE11i, and no HWEnables PATCHES to install.

I get this window:

The patch match operation failed to find any patches for target software which passed the filter. No patches for software on the target ":/" were found on the source ":/var/tmp/".

maybe they are already installed
do a swlist to see if they were included with the system install

Hi,
I feel this is the common problem
You have to note down the path of say GOLDQPK11i on the CD and specify the same path in the swinstall.
e.g.
/cdrom/B11.11/GOLDQPK11i
You will get thi from command line.

And it seems also your path for the s/w is mentioned as /var/tmp.
If it does not work then other way is to copy the Bundle in say /var/tmp and give the path for source the same,it will install it without any problems after installation you can delete this depot file.

Regards

Hi,

You have to mention absolute path of depot.
swinstall -s /tamp/qpak.depot

or from SAM, locat the depot directory for 'source' path.

Richard

Hello,

You must specify the source path (full)properly then it will work for sure.

Hi Tom

you told that you got the server at dec 2003 , so the pathc bundle of dec 2003 is all ready install , you can check it with this command :
swlist | grep -i gold

again to install the patches mount the cdrom , go to direcotry and and install the patches .

for 11.11 there isnt any new gold QPK for the time been .

also dec 2003 is very high patch level , but i will recommend to do a CPM to this computer that you will install patches for your software that is install on your computer .

when I did: swlist | grep -i gold

it returned nothing, so, I decided to try the Swinstall directly from the /cdrom/ running. I noticed a problem when choosing: Mange_Patch_Selection under the Actions Menu, then checking box: Automatically select patches for s/w installed on target".

I decided against this install option, only to use the normal action of Install. So, it seems to be working at this moment. to be continued.
