Install Oracle 9i on HP-UX 11i

[ttlin]

Hi,

I am new for HP-UX server. I would like to install Oracle 9i on HP-UX 11i. The installation guide said that some required patches need to be applied before instlling Oracle 9i. Can you hlep me with two questions below.

1.How can I check what patches are already installed on HP-UX?

2.There are lot of patches listed in installation guide. Is there any faster way to install these patch?

Sept. 2001 Quality Pack,
PHCO_23792, PHCO_
24148, PHKL_24268,
PHKL_24729,
PHKL_ 25475,
PHKL_25525,
PHNE_24715,
PHSS_23670, PHSS_24301,
PHSS_24303, PHSS_24627,
PHSS_22868


Thanks,
Tony

Shalom,

1. swlist -l product | more

or

swlist -l product | grep PHKL_24729

The problem here is that many of these patches have been superseded.

2.

The quickest way to get that done is to go here:
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

Thats the patch database.

You search, one patch at a time, can read the notes on the patch and then add it to a list. This list will also tell you what patches depend on the one you choose.

You create one patch set that completely meets your needs.

Also, Oracle 9i requires a recent quarterly "Gold" bundle. The most recent is March 2006, is available on the website above and between the bundle and the patch set you build, you will be prepared to install oracle. You need both because the quarterly bundle only includes three star patches, which are widely distributed and tested, and two star or even one star patches.

This may seem complex, perhaps a PITA, but it must be done prior to installing Oracle.

Hi Tony,

To check on patches:
$ /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch
$ /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch patch_number
$ /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle

2.
Download the patches as a set from the itrc site:
http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/search.do

A create depot script will be delivered with the set to create a depot.

hi;

you can also use the attached script for superseeded patches. as said before, absent patches will be given to you as a patch set.

Hi all,

I can install Oracle 9i on HP-UX 11.11 successfully after I applied the latest QPK. Your information are very helpful to me.

Thank you,
Tony

You must install Patches requirement for Oracle. I think it is easier when you download at ITRC ( www.itrc.hp.com ). login first, after that click "find patch in patch set"
step 1: Select a patch set

step 2: Select OS revision

step 3: Select a patch strategy

you download all patch bundle for oracle.


good luck
