HPUX10.20 Patch

[Paul_6]

I was told to install a latest patch onto HPUX10.20 without knowing the patch name, How can I know what is the latest patch for HPUX10.20? And if I download this patch to a floppy disk, how to install it to HPUX box?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi,
Do you know for what reason ? security?
Heres the latest patch I heard of:
ISSUE: Kermit communications software contains a buffer overflow.
10.20: PHCO_23319,

Now I would download whatever patch you are looking for on anything but a floppy and transfer by ftp,it works also with PCs...
Good luck

Victor

If you have a support agreement you can download or request the latest patch bundle for the version of HP-UX you are running. if you click on the maintenance and support option in the panel on the left-hand side of your screen you'll be taken to the area of interest that you require.

ftp the file to your server and do the following:-

# cd /tmp
# sh PHSS_?????

This will extract two files a PHSS_?????.depot and PHSS_?????.txt. Run swinstall to install the depot. Read the text file for instructions (reboot required or not?)

# swinstall -s /tmp/PHSS_?????.depot

Hit return when prompted and do the following:-

The screen will change and in the main window you will see:-

PHSS_???? -> B.10.00.00.AA Product name

Hit the space bar, followed by the ?m? key. This will mark the patch for installation, you will see ?Yes? in the ?Marked?? column of the main window.

Then press ?tab? key to bring you to the menu?s at the top of the screen. From here use the right ?arrow? key to highlight the ?Action Menu?, hit return and the menu will expand to show a number of options. Move down and hit return on the ?Install(analysis)? option. This will initiate the installation procedure, the system will then begin the analysis of installing the software in another window.

Once analysis is complete the system will show it is ?ready?, use the ?tab? key to take the cursor to the ?OK? option and hit ?return? to begin the install process. A message will be displayed saying that the install will begin and asking the following question:-

Do you still wish to begin install?

Use the ?tab? key to move the cursor to the ?Yes? option and hit return. The install will now take place. At this point if a reboot is required you will be told.
