swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /cdrom/name_of depot \*

That will install it. If it requires a reboot the -x commands will reboot. If none is required it will just run the install.

Just a note about the DIAGNOSTICS directory on the SupportPlus CD: the actual package is B.11.00-800 or something similar (it is the largest file) and it is not depot file, it is a tape file. This means that it must designated as a tape device (means tape format, even though it is a file) when running swinstall.

Hi,

Once you get this properly installed then you'll want to install the ODE LIF files onto your boot disk.

To check the contents of LIF & to see what existing LIF files to preserve run

lifls /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

Note the raw disk device is required.

To actually install the ODE LIF files run

mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif -P ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p PAD -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

Any other preexisting LIF files will need to be preserved and if this was a 64-bit OS change updatediaglif to updatediaglif2
If you're not sure whether OS is 32 or 64-bit run getconf KERNEL_BITS.

HTH,
Jeff

Oh & if you have a mirrored root/boot pair, you'll want to do this to both disks.
