Patching old 11.23 installation to current HP patch level

Ra Jose — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:43:39 GMT

I have 11.23 server that is installed from media which is old. I need to patch it to bring it to current hp-patch level. I need to load Mar-06, Jun-06, Sep-06, Mar-07 std patch bundles for 11.23 in order to bring it to current level. Do I have to load these patch bundles one by one in chronological order or I can just load Mar-07 which would take care of all previous bundles. Hope my question is clear. If not, pls let me know.
Thank you all for your replies.

Hi:

The stand patch bundles are cumulative. Thus, you only need to apply the latest.

Since you say "old" be sure that you have satisfied the September 2004 bundle requirement:

You need only Mar 07 bundle.

After that run patch assesment ( http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/assessSystemsPage.do?BC=main| )
to get new patches - after latest QPK.

Shalom,

I would let the March 2007 patch set sit there for a while before installing it. September 2006 has proven itself quite nicely.

Even if the system is base September 2004 the update will make it current.

No, you cannot upgrade from 11iv1 to 11iv2 just by installing patches. That is not the way it works.

If you are on 11.11/11iv1 then you need different patch bundles.
