experiences with metalink NOTE 43507.1 "ALERT:HP-UX: Patch Levels Advised" ?

[Anonymous]

I've seen recently that there is
NOTE 43507.1 ALERT:HP-UX: Patch Levels Advised
on http://metalink.oracle.com/

Anybody aware of pitfalls? (...just want to avoid "surprises" during my next maintenance window)

Any comments appreciated-
tia, Tom.

Hi

Don't think there should be as these are the General Release patches from HP aside from the ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch , but this shouldn't fairly standard.
I've upgraded one 11.0 system using the March 02 patch release and running 8.1.7.3.0 database and had no problems.

I have recently setup a machine from scratch.

Install HPUX, which installs a patchset from the Support CD, then install the March 2002 Quality Pack patchset, then install PHKL_26800.

Once done, check you have all the required patches:
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_25525
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_25475
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_21180
swlist -l patch |grep PHNE_25116
swlist -l patch |grep PHNE_25385
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_24027
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_20915
swlist -l patch |grep PHCO_23792
swlist -l patch |grep PHSS_24381
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_18543
swlist -l patch |grep PHCO_16438
swlist -l patch |grep PHNE_21767
swlist -l patch |grep PHSS_24303
swlist -l patch |grep PHCO_23963
swlist -l patch |grep PHCO_24148
swlist -l patch |grep PHCO_20555
swlist -l patch |grep PHSS_25447
swlist -l patch |grep PHKL_26800

All should say "applied". You are strongly advised to install the latest Oracle patchset too.
