memory window patches for 11.0

[Eileen Millen]

We have a K570 development system with several Oracle instances.
Our DBA found some information about using Memory Windows. It states that for HP-UX 11.0
you need PHKL_17091 and PHCO_16795.
We have PHCO_16795, but not the other one.
Also, we must ask our HP rep for an additional patch which fixes the getmemwindow script.
Does anyone know which patch that is?
Thanks Eileen

PHKL_17091 is superseeded by PHKL_18543 PM/VM/UFS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/p2p_bcopy/MPI



PHCO_16795 (11.00 memory windows cumulative patch) requires PHKL_18543, so if you already have this patch installed, then you probably also have PHKL_18543 installed and thus all the patches that you need.

PHCO_16795 is superseeded by PHCO_23705...this is the latest patch that addresses getmemwindow.

So just install this patch (you should already have all the dependencies).

Hope this helps.

Hi Eileen,

Patch PHCO_23705 (memory windows cumulative patch) supersedes PHCO_16795

PHKL_18543 (PM/VM/UFS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/JFS/perf patch) supersedes PHKL_17091 (this is a MEGA-patch and a lot of 11.0 patches have a dependency for this patch)

HP Doc KBAN00000306 talks about using memory windows. I am attaching it for your reference.

-HTH
Ramesh

Thanks for the quick response and excellent information. You have saved me a lot of time.
The forums are great.

Hi,

nobody needs to use the "getmemwindow" script, as it is just a kind of combination of "grep" and "cut"...

Just my $0.0002,

Wodish:
It looks like the Oracle startup runs getmemwindow.
