[OldSchool]

the "single" patch will be a depot file. installation doesn't vary.

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

Hi Hassan,

>>Can u tall me how can I install single patch?

Yes, You can follow

step1:- ftp the patch files to /tmp/PHSS_3XXX
step2:- cd /tmp/PHSS_3XXX
step3:- sh PHSS_3XXX
this will extract the depot.files
step4:- swinstall -s /tmp/PHSS_3XXX.depot

Thanks,
Johnson

>> Status: Tape media is not present !!!

Without a tape in drive you cannot backup!

[Md. Farhan A Azam]

Hi Nazmul,

You r trying to take backup of data on Tape Library through "fbackup" command.

Now,
1).Have you inserted the media into the LTO, if yes how, because the media will be formatted and loaded by the auto loader.

2). Are you using Data Protector in your enviorenment.

3). What is the model of Tape Library.

[Md. Nazmul Hassan]

Hi,

Thanks,

1. Yes, I have insert the Tape into the LTO by using web base utility.
2. No, there is no Data protector software.
3. MSL4048 2 LTO-4 Ultium 1840 FT TP Library.

Nazmul.

Hi Johnson,

I have try through ur process but i am fail to install.
Is there any other process.

Nazmul.

[sujit kumar singh]

hi nazmul,


just to make the things clear....


1) after u loaded thetape into the drive manually just run the following coammnds to check that the media is present in the drive that u will use for the backup.

say u load a tape in the drive.

after that

#mt -t /dev/rmt/3mn rewind
#mt -t /dev/rmt/3mn status


if the status shows that the media is online, just try a simple tar Backup a small one and see what happens.


#tar cvf /dev/rmt/3mn /tmp


ans see that ur tar backup is OK aor not atleast.

hi


as far installing a single patch is concerned like the patch Torsten has mentioned.


just click on the link that Torsten Mentioned andselest and download that patch


click on the "Expand to see donload Option:"
and choose as a gzip package.

then download, this shall get downloaded a .tgz file.

make a directory say patch inside /tmp on the server.
ftp to the server in binary mode and put this file in say /tmp/patch directory.

then
on the server:

logon as root.

# pwd
/tmp/patch
#
#
# gunzip hpux__11.11_01170743.tgz
# ll

-rw-r--r-- 1 21164 12753 90 Jan 17 00:45 patch_manifest

# sh create_depot_hpux.11.11



this will create a diretory that is /tmp/patch/depot


then do a simple


#swinstall -s /tmp/patch/depot


u can install the patch.
