tru64 version

[Mohd Rasidi Che Mat]

hi all,
how to decide the version whether it is v5.1b-3 or v5.1b-4?

our server shows:

Patches installed on the system came from following software kits:
------------------------------------------------------------------

- T64KIT1000403-V51BB25-E-20060217 OSF540
- T64V51BB25AS0004-20040616 OSF540

You have baselevel "25", which is nothing but V5.1B-2.

T64V51BB25AS0004-

here 25 shows base level you can check through roadmap which venkatesh has alreay given u and AS0004 shows patch kit 4.
for 5 its AS0005.

BR,
Kapil

This basically means that either you don't have these files on your machine already or someone has manually played around with those files.

You can correct this by first running the 'baselining' option from the dupatch program menu and then installing the patch.

from what i read, baseline can cause problem if make wrong choice. this is my first time, any tips?

[Pieter 't Hart]

Like Venkatesh said these sendmail configuration files are not present or manually editted instead of using "sysman mailsetup".
If your system doesn't heavily rely on mail to/from other systems. You might ignore this warning and skip this patch.

[Mohd Rasidi Che Mat]

baseline done but i answered no to this, 'Do you want to enable the installation of any of these patches?'.

rerun preview later but still failed. should i answer yes instaed? or can i ignore the error & proceed with installation? will it successful?
