>I am not able to upgrade

What errors do you get?

hi,
As the HP team told just use the below command to upgrade the SFM bundle.

i typed the command.

swinstall -s /path..../OpenSSL...

after that there is a SD install interaction which is asking for interaction, which i do not understand.

pls. help me.

>swinstall -s /path..../OpenSSL...

This seems to install OpenSSL not SFM. (But I assume you'll do that next?)

swinstall needs to be told what to do. If you want to install all of that depot, you can add to the end:
\*

If you do this, it won't go into the interactive GUI.

thanks for the reply,

can you please give the complete command.

and what would be the implecations when there is no SFM in server?

[nagarjuna reddy]

as i am not a system admin, i donot know whats really going on there. first i removed the SFM and upgrading all other softwares one by one, as per the document. as soon as i typed the command for swinstall it asking for interaction, which i donot know anything, as i am a DBA. so pls. help me in this regard.

regards,

Hi,

> implications

If you do not have SFM on the server you will not be able to monitor your hardware for eg:- the fans, blowers , CPU etc that is the option of having the facility of evweb will be curtailed.

swinstall -s -x autoreboot=true/false (depending on if there is a kernel fileset) -x match_target=true. If you have dependency issues on the log files you will have to add states for autoselect_patches and enforce_dependencies.

As Ismail said, you may have to add other options:
swinstall -s /path..../OpenSSL... -x autoreboot=true \*
