how update core os depot ?

Hi,

I've a core_os depot for 11.23 in an Ignite server.
I also have a specific patch bundle from HP for my company.

It seems i can't add this patch bundle to my Ignite clause because of two instance of anothers bundle (with different revision) and both are marked as "always load".

I tried to add the patch bundle into the core_os depot but i fall in the same problem.
and swremove the superseded bundle from this depot is a little painful.

How can i do a fresh install up to date including this patch bundle ?

Thanks for your advices ?

Best regards,
C├йdrick Gaillard.

Shalom,

You replace the Core OS depot with swcopy from a new DVD or image.

Installing a QPK will achieve the same thing.

Hi Steven,

I' already have he latest DVD for 11.23 in my core depot

the patch bundle i 'm talking about is specific to our Mission Critical contract and is made by HP specially for our company, so, it's not like a QPKG depot.

usually i make a core,HWenablement and Qpk depot, I do some make_config on these then I add the cfg files generated by the make_config in my Ignite clauses.

with this patch bundle, i can't for the reasons given above.

i will try to make a bundle of these patch bundle and will see if it works, if not, i've no other clues.

any advices gratly appreciated.

It's a shame i can't address points myself ;-)

I found the solution at the following url :
http://docs.hp.com/en/5187-3614/apbs04.html

- create the appropriate cfg file :
make_config -s /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/MC_bundle_200901 -c /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/MC_bundle_200901_cfg


- just need to add this extra line
sd_command_line +=" -x patch_match_target=true "
to the sw_source definition of the cfg file.

that's all folks
