Depot install question

Nyck_1 — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 03:12:31 GMT

I need to install the following patches onto one of my Itanium servers:-

PHNE_35766
PHCO_35524
PHKL_36244
PHNE_34788

I have downloaded these and attempted to install one at a time, this failed due to dependancies. So instead I installed them as a software depot and this worked fine. So now when I run swlist I now have the following installed:-

BUNDLE B.11.23 Patch Bundle

So in the furture if I need to install a whole load of patches as a depot what will this be installed as?

Will it overright the exisiting BUNDLE?

hi,

for me bundle does not correspond at patchs recently installed
on my server for example i have :

Bdle_1123 D.07.05.01 Bundle CS Proactif 1 mai 2007

If you check, you must find patch by swlist -l fileset |grep -i phne_35766 for example

Bundle will not overright.

Hi Nyck,

I believe when you create_depot_hp-ux_11, you put a generic Bundle name and Bundle Title.

I would suggest you put your next patch bundle with date or version name to avoid confusion.

It will not overwrite the existing bundle.

So when I create the bundle next time how do I change the name of the Bundle when running the script?

Nyck,

Yes, that's right.

What I have done is to edit the create_depot_hp-ux_11 script and change the name of BUNDLE to be BUNDLE29082007. Then I ran the script and that seems to have resolved this duplicate name issue.

Is this normal that you have to do this?

You shouldn't have to edit it, there should be an option (-n?) to create_depot_hp-ux_11 to change the name. But if having the script automatically generate a date makes it easy, you can use that.

Any reason you don't use YYYYMMDD, so it sorts better?

The options are: (given with -h)
-b
-t

Make sure you put the title string in quotes if it includes whitespace.
-t "A long title"
