Hi,

Please use swlist command to check the installed patches.

#swlist -l patches |grep

If patch is installed it will list the patch, other no reply.

Please download any patches from the itrc site. The link is http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

All the best ..

Jay

Praveen ,

You can check if this patches are installed using swlist command , and then use itrc.hp.com patch database to download this patches , and ftp to the server. And install it using swinstall command. Reboot is required as kernel patch included.

1. # swlist -l product | grep -e 31500 -e 32277 -e 33429 -e 30773

If not present , check itrc.hp.cm --> Patch Database --> search for patch , and download it.

2. ftp the tar file into the server.
3. extract it using tar -xvf
4. run the ./create_depo_hpux11 command.
5. # swinstall -s `pwd`/depot

After reboot check for the patchses again.

Cheers,
Raj.

Praveen,

# swlist -l product | grep -e 31500 -e 32277 -e 33429 -e 30773
PHKL_31500 1.0 Sept04 base patch

So looks like you have one patch installed,
to install rest PHNE patches you need to download from itrc patch database and hopefully it do not need a reboot. You can check the description while downloading the patch.

Cheers,
Raj.

Praveen ,

Also you can run a patch assesment tool , cpm_collect.sh and it will tell what patches not there in the system and which patches need to be update in the system.

Download the script run , and upload and check the report,

http://ftp.itrc.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDownloadPatch/cpm_collect.sh?PatchName=/export/bin/cpm_collect.sh

Cheers,
