Ignite & pax patch question

[GK_5]

I'm running Ignite backup and it is telling me to install patch PHCO_25418. I installed the patch but it is still giving me the same message. When I do "swlist -l patch | grep 25418" it shows as committed.

What is the problem? What is difference between committed and applied for a patch?

Thanks

[Patrick Wallek]

Committed means that the patch has been superseded by another patch and has been committed with the cleanup command or swmodify command.

Take a look at the following manual:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90154/B2355-90154.html

Specifically look at the "Managing Patches" section.

Thanks Patrick.
This is the latest patch. I accidently used -x patch_save_files=false option during install.

[Patrick Wallek]

The patch_save_files=false should not alter how the patch functions.

When you installed the patch, did you install *ALL* of its dependencies as well? I am looking at the patch, and PHCO_25418 depends on the following:

PHKL_22677
PHKL_18543
PHKL_22589
PHCO_23651
PHKL_28766
PHKL_27980
PHCO_21187
PHKL_20016

You should download all of these patches as a package, unless you already have all of them installed. Be aware that if you attempt to reinstall 25418 do NOT reinstall the rest of the patches, especially *DO NOT* reinstall PHKL_18543 (the patch from hell) unless you want a lot of cleanup work ahead of you.

[Steven E. Protter]

You have probably already installed the successor for this patch. Then you ran cleanup -c 1 and committed the patch

I would say you probably need to get a later version of Ignite from software.hp.com The reason I say this is because the patch being asked for is pretty old.

There were problems with older versions of ignite whereby a pax patch let the system archive files between 2 GB and 8 GB but pax_iux would not be able to unpack them.

So an Ignite version upgrade is recommended, there is a required, newer pax patch with the current version.

I'm running latest version of Ignite 4.3.123.
The patch PHCO_25418 is the most recent patch.
Patrick, I have all the patches except PHKL_28766 & PHKL_27980. When I checked dependency it showed me only PHKL_19991 which is superseded by PHKL_22677 and I have that patch.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

The latest version of Ignite/UX is now B.4.4.???

You might download that and try your make_tape_recovery again.

Patrick, I'll try this version. I'm using make_net_recovery. Do I have to uninstall previous version or it removes during newer version install?

Thanks

[Patrick Wallek]

I always swremove the old version of Ignite before swinstalling the new version.
