HP-UX 11i patch installation

[Frank Zecca]

I am new to HP-UX and need to install some patches. I have the June 2003 support plus cd and was wondering if there is a particular order to installing the patches in the different patch bundles. I want to install BUNDLE11i, GOLDQPK11i, and HWEnable11i. Does the order matter?

The order doesn't matter. And I think you only need HWEnable11i and GOLDQPK11i.

Thanks for the pointer and quick response.

The order does not matter.

Note that this will requier a reboot and should not be done on a production system during working hours.

Install procedure.

Lets say gold is on cdrom

mount /cdrom

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /cdrom/GoldQPK \*

revise procedure for each bundle.

This will do the install, move any kernel changes into production and boot the box.

I would do the Bundle first, then HW then Gold, thats worked for me in the past.

Good Luck,
