when you go to the disk_space tab in the swinstall gui, what filesystem does it complain about?

how much it says it needs ?

Why did the Disk Space Analysis fail?
When you "press the "Disk Space..." button." what did you get? Your log file is scrambled.

You need to use command line swinstall to install the patch, not sam, so we don't get unhelpful junk:
swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s $PWD/PHSS_35385.depot \*

Hi Johnson,

You can always look into /var/adm/sw/swagent.log which will provide the filesystem space issues if any..

Can you provide the tail portion of /var/adm/sw/swagend.log ?

Hi Johnson,

cant say really as the Disk analysis shows but are there any big open files on /var/ and/or /usr that is not reflecting in here.

as an alternative could you try installing the Superseeding patches for PHSS_35385

that is PHSS_38154 or PHSS_39077.

though nothing seems to be coming in the swagentd logs as being generated speciafically for the Space Analysis.(or might be i Overlooked!!)

as evident from the Logs there is no dependency issue as the dependant patch is already on the system

regards
sujit

What you attached above is the swagentd.log file. This does not show the errors. You need to look in the swinstall.log file and find "failed Disk Space Analysis" text and see what else is mentioned in there.

Ganesan R — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:52:24 GMT

Hi Johnson,

You need to provide the swagent.log not swagentd.log. It's typo on my previous post.

Provide the portion which descripes the PHSS_35385 installation logs.

Re: swinstall error failed Disk Space Analysis for PHSS_35385 linker patch

TTr — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:11:12 GMT

I wonder why the var filesystem shows up with two slashes " //var " in the swinstal screen. Check the bdf output and /etc/fstab to see if there is a problem. Multiple slashes in a path string are treated as one and you can still navigate the filesystem but if you have two slashes in /etc/fstab, swinstall might get confused.

Dennis Handly — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 03:18:51 GMT

Simply tell swinstall to mind its own business:
swinstall -x enforce_dsa=false -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s $PWD/PHSS_35385.depot \*

Unfortunately this isn't something to do lightly. TTr may have the solution?

Hi All,

I am unable to Install the Patch PHSS_35385 or PHSS_38154 failed Disk Space Analysis

Both above Patches Require the Dependence patches PHKL_29243 s700_800 11.11 vPar enablement, cumulative patch

I notice that your log says it is dependent on

NOTE: The software "PHSS_35385,r=1.0,a=HP-UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP" was
successfully marked, but it depends on the following software
items which could not be found in the source. However, these
items may already be in the target. This will be checked
during the Analysis Phase:
PHKL_29243.CORE2-KRN,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_32 |
PHKL_29243.CORE2-KRN,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_64

Please check the log.

Bunch of Thanks for your swift and Quick reply.. :)

Ganesan, are you able to open the attachment.?

Manikandan, >

Can i ignore the (PHKL_29243 )dependencies).?
will impact the Installation of the patch PHSS_35385

Thanks,

Re: swinstall error failed Disk Space Analysis for PHSS_35385 linker patch

Ganesan R — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:08:27 GMT

Hi Johnson,

Dependency must be installed. You have a option(enforce_dependency=false) to bypass dependencies but it is not advisable.

System or application will not behave as we expected if we ignore dependencies.

Re: swinstall error failed Disk Space Analysis for PHSS_35385 linker patch

T G Manikandan — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:40:19 GMT

Johnson,

do you have issues installing the dependency patch?

NO, the dependency patch require reboot, need schedule downtim but my worries , why does my swinstall fails at Disk space Analysis,

Thanks,
Johnson

Re: swinstall error failed Disk Space Analysis for PHSS_35385 linker patch

T G Manikandan — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:57:31 GMT

It just fails on that dependency, that is a bogus message

>Can i ignore the PHKL_29243 dependencies? will impact the Installation of the patch PHSS_35385

Do you have vPars?, if not, you probably can ignore it and schedule the patch for later.

>why does my swinstall fails at Disk space Analysis?

That's a good question. Have you tried "-x enforce_dsa=false"?

Hi Dennis,

Yes, But still Failes at Diskspace Anaylsis,

NO,

Can please let me know how to probally ignore the dependecies.?
