Actually, there are a few more steps.

1. Download the patches to the Ignite server.
2. Extract the patch and text files.
3. Make a distribution directory such as /var/tmp/patches
4. swcopy each patch to the distribution directory:
swcopy -s /fullpathtopatches/PHCO_12345 \* @ /var/tmp/patches
5. Now the patches are available to the network. Verify that you can see the patches on other systems:
swlist -l depot @ igniteserver
6. Now install the patches on each client:
swinstall -s igniteserver:/var/tmp/patches \*

Hi

The patches are in the form of a depot as downloaded in a gzip format from the ITRC.

FTP this to the Ignite server.

1) there gunzip this Patch Bundle.
2) run the create_depot_xxxx script.
3) this shall create a "depot" folder in the present directory.
4) swreg -l depot $PWD/depot
5) network install from the other servers.

Hi All,

Thanks for all i have followed the below procedure.

On the Server
1. Copy the patch files to /var/tmp:
# cp /PH* /var/tmp
2. Unshar the patch files:
# cd /var/tmp
# for i in PH*
> do
> sh $i
> done
You should now have a depot and a text file for each patch.
3. Copy all the patches into one common depot called /var/spool/sw/patches:
# for i in PH*.depot
> do
> swcopy -s /var/tmp/${i} \* @ /var/spool/sw/patches
> done
4. Verify the contents of the patch depot:
# swlist -d @ /var/spool/sw/patches
5. Create a config file for loading the patches called
/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/patch_cfg:
# vi /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/patch_cfg
Add the following lines:
sw_source "patch" {
source_format = SD
load_order = 9
sd_command_line = " -x patch_match_target=true -x autoreboot=true"
sd_server = "" <---------- Replace with your server's IP
sd_depot_dir = "/var/spool/sw/patches"
}
init sw_sel "Patches" {
description = "Additional Patches"
sw_source = "patch"
sw_category = "HPUXAdditions"
} = TRUE


Check your syntax and make any necessary corrections:
# instl_adm -T -f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/patch_cfg
7. Add the patch_cfg file to all HP-UX Release B.11.23 INDEX clauses:
# manage_index -a -r B.11.23 \
â f /var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.23/patch_cfg
8. Check your syntax and correct any errors if necessary:
# instl_adm â T
9. Run the Ignite-UX UI:
a. Select your client.
b. Choose Install Client from the Actions menu.
c. Choose New Install.
d. Confirm that you wish to install the client. Choose No when asked to retain settings
from a previous session.
e. Make the following changes/observations:
Basic tab:
Configurations: Choose Golden Image.
Software tab:
You should see the software selection Patches. It should be selected.
If not select it.
System tab:
Set the root password.
Advanced tab:
Click on the nfsserver script, and then click on Add.
f. Click on GO! to continue. You will receive a warning that installation will destroy data
on your disk.
g. Click on GO! again to begin the target install. Confirm that you wish to run bootsys
to reboot and install your client.

On the Client
1. After the install is complete verify that the patches were loaded:
# swlist | more
2. Check to see if the number of nfsd's was set to 20:
# more /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
