Hi All,

These are the commands I am trying.

slpam19:/preOracPathes # ls
HWE1100.depot

slpam19:/preOracPathes # swlist -s /preOracPathes/HWE1100.depot
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "slpam19"...

Why this depot is not getting installed?

Thanks and regards,

You are trying to install a HP-UX 11.00 bundle on HP-UX 11.11 - this is not possible and not compatible.

Hi Prasad,

Try to download a depot which is compatible to 11.11 as the error message clearly says "ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "*" because there are
no product variations that are compatible with the destination
host(s)"

Hi All,

Actually, I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Hp-UX 11.11.

I had a look at 9i installation guide, all the information given in that document was regarding 9i installation on 11.00.

Guide specified this patch needs to be install before 9i installation.

But, this patch is not compatible with 11.00.
Now, How could I find the equivalent patch which can be installed on 11.11?

Thanks and regards,
Prasad.

Hi Prasad,

Click on the link beloe:

Select Oracle and OS 11.00 , you will get the list of the patches which will help you in matching your specification.

Hi Prasad,

Your another thread [http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1034609] has the answer from Onur, Check that out.

Shalom Prasad,

I can not stress enough the importance of complying with every minute detail of pre-installation and installation configuration for Oracle products.

Skipping a single patch or kernel parameter can spell months of extra work, or trigger mysterious errors months down the road.

Every single detail nees to be attended to.

There may be a syntax problem as well.

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s \*

The reinstall will prevent disaster double installs of the infamous PHKL_18543 patch set, which once upon a time ate a month of my life.

Though its probably been pointed out, you can't install an 11.00 HWE patch set on and 11.11 system.

Hi,

sorry, but I don't think it's good to say:
'go to ... and search for oracle and 11.0' when the message is: 11.0 patches are not compatible to this system.

The link is good, but you need 11.11 so you have to search for 11.11

The other possibility is to search for the HWE bundle for 11.11 - I hope this works, because I only have access to the Europe site:
