installation on some patches

[praveen..]

Hi,
I need to install oracle 10g on my system,
OS is hp-ux b.11.11 (11iv1).

Oracle 10g requires PHNE_31097 & PHSS_31221patches to be installed on server,

And PHKL_30398 & PHCO_33205 are the dependencies to install PHNE_31097.

I have downloaded these patches in /tmp directory.

# ll
total 51136
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 227962 Aug 29 2005 PHCO_33205
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 125517 Mar 31 2004 PHKL_30398
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 5336505 Apr 11 2005 PHNE_31097
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 20453832 Feb 4 2005 PHSS_31221
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 1831 May 12 11:45 README_hp-ux
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 5776 Aug 7 02:00 create_depot_hp-ux_11
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 287 Aug 7 02:00 patch_manifest


Please let me know how to install these patches and is there any precautions before installing these patches.

please suggest

1.run create depot first
#./create_depot_hp-ux_11
and you can get directory depot

2. install patches
swinstall -s /tmp/depot

and you can continue install the patches

thanks

You can go through the README_hp-ux file for the procedure or else just run create_depot_hp-ux_11 file this will create the depot and run the swinstall by itself.
Also to know more about these patches you could look at the text files of each files which you'll get if you run the patches like doing..
sh
Note: some of the patches might require a reboot as they are kernel and networking patches. So install them when you are ready for a reboot.

Hi Praveen,

Just read README_hp-ux, it will show you how to do..

You should be able to run # create_depot_hp-ux_11

-Arun

[sysadm_1 · Accepted solution]

#./create_depot_hp-ux_11
#swinstall -s /tmp/depot

This will start swinstall GUI.Select the patches you want to install and select install from action menu.

once installation is finished,check using swlist or show_patches command


-sysadm

praveen,
when u next time download the patches, download it as single depot file.
then the job is simple.

simply u can do swinstall -s like that..

and remember that PHKL--KL patches are kernel patches and they requires reboot.

the README file contains good information. read it.

Praveen,

Instead of downloading individual patches, you can select them as one depot while downloading from http://itrc.hp.com so that you will get it in .depot format.

Thanks,

The README_hp-ux also has instructions on how to proceed.
