I am running some HP-UX boxes with HP-UX11. The machines are not patched for few months. I want to patch it to the current level. What will be my approch? How can i determine which patches i need to update.

# swlist -l bundle | grep patch

2. You can install the "QPK June 2005" bundle , for hp-ux 11.11 from.

Hi Ayub ,

You are having "Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11.00, March 2002"

can check with this :
# swlist -l bundle | grep -i qpk

And you can install "March 2004 Bundle" for hp-ux 11.00 ,
thats available on itrc patch db :

Nothing comes

root@sydsed1# swlist -l bundle | grep -i qpk
root@sydsed1#

Is that means no patch was installed?

Ayub ,

Just take the output of # swlist -l bundle ,and you can check if you have QPK1100 is installed.

you will get output like this :

QPK1100 B.11.00.60.4 Quality Pack for HP-UX 11.00, March 2003

You have HWEnable of June 2002. no Quality Pack , seems installed.

Any way you can download the patch bundle from the given above link and can install.

Cheers,
Raj.

Obtain the file cpm_collect.sh and run this file. You will get a file name with an extention on .fs. Submit this to the HP patch check site and run an analysis on the file. You can change your check prioroties, or use the HP recommended.
