Patch Problem

Tom Jackson — Fri, 03 Jan 2003 13:06:11 GMT

Hi:

I tried installing several patches using the patch database, but it didn't work. I downloaded the patches, ran the create_depot script, ran swinstall, then rebooted. During the reboot I got a "Failed" while "configuring all unconfigured filesets". Here's what the log says:

ERROR: The dependencies for fileset "PHKL_25729.CORE2-KRN,l=/,r=1.0"
cannot be resolved (see previous lines).

For some reason the patch database did not down one of my dependancies.

Should I download and swinstall PHKL_25728? Will a reboot try to configure the three patches that depend on PHKL_25728?

Hi again:

ISorry I left out the most important part of the error. This displayed before the error in my previous post. Sorry for the confusion.

NOTE: The filesystems in the filesystem table will not be checked
against those currently mounted because the
"mount_all_filesystems" option is set to "false".
The corequisite "PHKL_25728.CORE2-KRN,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_64" for
fileset "PHKL_25729.CORE2-KRN,l=/,r=1.0" cannot be
successfully resolved.

Hi,

you should download following patches:

PHKL_25729 PHKL_27091 PHKL_27094 PHKL_27096 PHKL_27317

and re-install them.

Since swinstall wants the filesets from PHKL_25729, PHKL_27091, PHKL_27317 to be present for this installation, try adding PHKL_25729, PHKL_27091, PHKL_27317 to your depot and run swinstall once again. This should clear the dependency errors that the system is throwing out to you.

Go ahead and download PHKL_25729, PHKL_27091, PHKL_27317 by itself to your system to somewhere outside
of your depot. Then do the following:

sh PHKL_27317.depot --> This will unshar the patch and leave you with two files. (PHKL_depot and a .txt file). Then run this command to add this patch to your depot directory with the rest of the patches:

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /tmp/PHKL_27317.depot \* @ /mydepot

Now, when you run swinstall, be sure you don't change the default settings to REINSTALL file sets:

swinstall -s /mydepot

Best regards,
Armin

Hi,

boot from the previous kernel file if you have.
while installing use the option '-x enforce_dependencies=false'

run

# swverify \*

and check for more hints in

/.sw/sessions/swverify.last

Go to itrc.hp.com

click individual patches, and search for and select for download every patch you need and those recommended above.

It will build you a download that will include dependencies.

Download it.

Put it on your box.

unzip patches.zip

rund the create depot script with a -d /name of depot command.

This builds a single run patch depot.

Then run the swinstall as follows:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false (plus those special install options) -s /name of depot \*

This will hook you up and avoid the problems, unless there are problems with the patches themselves. That's happened to me yesterday. In the case of that patch, I removed it and forgot about it. HP will eventually supersede it anyway.

Hi Tom,

I hope you made an ignite tape before instalation.

The solution could be installing PHKL_25728, It looks like the installation never took place since the dependencies could not be resolved in the analise phase of the installation.

Did you manualy reboot the system?

Hi:

Yesterday, I posted a message because I was confused about patch dependancies. The HP Patch DB was the recommended solution. Before Using the Patch DB, I looked into patch dependancies myself. There are three patches that did not get selected, bundled, and downloaded when I used the patch DB: PHKL_25728, PHKL_27294 and PHKL_27093. All three missing patches generated an errorduring thte reboot after swinstall. None of the three patches have dependancies. Can If I download and install each patch will the patches that depend on the three patches be configured and installed correctly?

Gideon:

No ignote tape (no tape drive), but I have a mirror backup. I run a cron job nightly to mirror my system disk.

Hi:

i tried installing PHKL_25728, PHKL_27294, and PHKL_27093 but it wouldn't install PHKL_25728 because it was superseded by PHKL_27317.

I rebooted from my mirror disk and will try again tomorrow morning.

Any other suggestions???
