patch installtion

srinivasa rao vaddadi — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 04:31:17 GMT

I need a clarification whether i can install the patch which is in tar format (Oracle-reqpatches-hpux_800_11.11_10200745.tar ) directly instead of extracting and installing the patches.

No, you should first open the tar and then apply the pach according to the instruction inside.

Anyway, you'll spend the same disk space and disk I/O, because the files must be extracted from tar in both cases.

Its not possible without extracting them, Just try, tar tvf Oracle-reqpatches-hpux_800_11.11_10200745.tar for available patches inside the package.

What patch is this??

tar -tvf "file"
You can install without extracting it.
tar -xf "tar_file" - | swinstall

hi,

of course not. u have to "un-tar" first.

# tar -xvf Oracle-reqpatches-hpux_800_11.11_10200745.tar

if this is a bundle taken from the HP patch website, i believe after "un-taring", there is a "create_depot_hp-ux_11" file. run it to create depot and also "un-share" the patches.

regards.
