HP-UX 11 Patches

[Chris Petrell]

Does HP have a simple PATCH web site? I am about ready to give up searching... Seems I only can find specific patches, not a general overview of HP-UX 11 Patches.. Any help would be appreciated. Also, How can I tell WHAT version of HP-UX 11 that I have? They show 3 different flavours on the software web site. Seems dumb to not have a letter or something that will get spit out from uname -a...

Chris,

Ther General Maintenance site is available at:
http://us-support2.external.hp.com/common/bin/doc.pl/sid=1f40c98b0b29229f6a

I like using the Custom Patch Manager, as it will analyze the Patches already installed, and provide me with a List of the Latest Patches. Then if one is later rejected, I'll get notified about it in E-Mail.

Hope that helps.

Have a Great Day!

Chris:

You might be interested in the commentary in the thread below. A very large majority of us use the General Release bundle which is available quarterly. You can get it from the Patch database, here at the ITRC, by choosing Maintenance & Support -> Downloads / Licensing (Standard Patch Bundles). You may choose to download the Support Bundle or order it on CDROM.
