GOLD PACK June 2005

[Jack_126]

I found , two bundle on "QPK June 2005"

GOLDAPPS11i B.11.11.0506.4 Applications Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2005
GOLDBASE11i B.11.11.0506.4 Base Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2005

My query is how much space it requres and what is the location/dir where it will be installed.


Thanks.

Hi Jack:

Download either one -- the QPK contains both bundles. The size is roughly 404 MB as a compressed (gzip) archive.

You can download a 'gzip' bundle into /tmp and do:

# gzip -d /tmp/hpux*.tgz
# tar -xvf /tmp/hpux*.tar
# /tmp/create_depot_hp-ux_11
# swinstall -s /tmp/depot -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true

There is a README file that automatically coms with the download as does the 'create_depot_hp-ux_11' script.

Hi Jack ,

Gold Pack,June 2005 is about 450MB , the tar file. ( Further you can check in itrc , patch database).

You need nearly 1GB space where creating the depo, and space in /usr /var and roo as per the instructions.

You can download the tar file.
Untar
run the create_depo file to creae depo.
And install using # swinstall -s /depo_dir

once installed you can remove the /depo_dir files.

Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

1>As said by JRF that I have to install either one. Does it mean that either Goldapps or Goldbase I can install. No need to install both.

2> Its still not clear that in which folder by default it will install and how much space it requires for installation.

Hi Jack ,

1. Usually 450MB bundle (nearly) if you install , you can have these patch bundles :

This is an example of Gold Pack June 2004, with HWE.

GOLDAPPS11i B.11.11.0406.5 Gold Applications Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2004
GOLDBASE11i B.11.11.0406.5 Gold Base Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2004
HWEnable11i B.11.11.0406.4 Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, June 2004

So you can add both the pack , while slecting for download , in itrc patch database, will come nearly 400MB.

2. Space : After untar, run the # swinstall -s /depot_dir --> action --> Install Analysis

This will give a preview , and show how much space it will take on the filesystems , like /var /usr and /opt and / , If you fall short of space on these filesystem (or any one) as recomended , the installation will exit, at this point , showing how much space needs to be free up.

After analysis you can press cancel , to exist from the swinstall window. If you press OK it will start installing the patches.


Cheers ,
Raj.

Hi (again) Jack:

What I mean is that you can toggle either bundle for download. What you get, however, is a package with BOTH bundles (GOLDAPPS and BOLDBASE) for installation.

The size of the download is about one-half of the space you need to un-tar the archive. Generally /tmp is used, although you can use any filesystem that has sufficient room. The commands I offered in my first post, assume /tmp.

The 'swinstall' operation will principally consume space in /usr (where most of the files go); space in /var/adm/sw (for logs of the installation and for "saved" copies of previous patches).

The actual amount of space consumed in the aforementioned directories is dependent upon how much of the bundle contents are installed. Generally one doesn't reinstall already installed software (the default). The less to be installed, the less disk space needed in these directories.

Got the answer.
