hpux install

Amir Fadaghi — Wed, 03 Apr 2002 13:33:45 GMT

Hello All gurus;
I am new to hp but not new to unix. I have a K-class without a support. I installed the core OS on this server. When I try to install different bundels (XSWHWCD1100 and XSWGR1100 and ... from the CD ) it tells me that I need to install some patches like PHNE_19094, PHKL_22031, and ... I down loaded the patches and used swcopy to create a depot. when I tried to install my depot it say can not install it because some filesets are not installed. Also, when I try to install the depot(s) individually I fails for some fileset being missed. Could you be nice enough to let me know what are exact steps I need to follow to install hpux correctly? I really appreciate the time you are taking to help me out.

thank

Use the "custom patch manager". It will list the patches it thinks are necessary for your machine.

ALso, what is the date on your CD's?? The latest is March 2002.

Are you using the Patch Match Target option? I find it odd that the Support Plus patch bundles would require patches not included in the bundle.

Custom Patch Manager (CPM) on the ITRC web site requires a support contract or it be purchased.

Select "maintenance and support" in the box at the top left of this page. Then in the section under patching you will find "customized patch bundles (custom patch manager)". This requires you to download a script to your system, run it, upload the output to HP's web, then run a patch analysis to determine which patches you may need.

It's free if you have a support contract. If not, the note says it:
[$] can be purchased online if you are not already entitled to it

Hi,

When running swinstall, you should not select the patches but use :
Action --> Manage Pach Selection
then unselect "include patch..." and select "Automatically select..."

It should work.
