install patch

[guerin]

HI everybody, i've got a server HP (9000/800) with HP-UX 11. There are 2 SCSI adapters (28696A) and in order to install the SCSI pass-thru driver, i am trying to install HP patchs.
So i have downloaded PHKL_21607 (and the others patchs which are required)
the first patch i want to install is PHKL_18543 and when i run the swinstall command as described in the install instructions, i ve got a message which said that the /tmp/PHKL_18543 is from a tape device and it's wrong of course !

I can send the complete message.

any idea ?

Thanks
Christian

Interesting, can you send the whole message?

Christian,

Did you 'sh PHKL_18543' the patch to uncompress it to the .depot file? Also what are the permissions on the PHKL_18543.depot file in /tmp?

I don't know what the permissions are by default, but I would start by trying 644 on the patch. Then try running swinstall again:

swinstall -s /tmp/PHKL_18543.depot

Hope that helps.

You must "sh /tmp/PHKL_18543" first, then use "/tmp/PHKL_18543.depot".

Hi Christian,

Like said in the above posts, first run "sh PHKL_21607". You need to do this for each patch you downloaded. You get PHKL_21607.depot and PHKL_21607.text. PHKL_21607.text has install instructions included.

Then run:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /tmp/PHKL_21607.depot PHKL_21607
to install the patch using the command line interface.

Regards,
Mateja

If the PHKL_18543 patch is already installed on your system, DO NOT attempt to re-install it. There are a number of postings about this particular patch. The dependencies should be resolved during the analysis phase of the patch install.
