install patches in correct order!

[Faisal Aljundi]

Hi,

I have HP-UX 11.0 June 2000

I have a support CD include the following group of patches.

1- qpk1100
2- xswgr1100
3- xswhwcr1100

I installed 2nd patches [xswgr1100]

Also I installed the diagnostics.

But after that I'm unable to install the 1st or 3rd patches?

why?

is this a order mistake?

Hi

if you install the gerenal realese patches you dont need to install the qpk1100 but you need
to install the hardware critical patches .

can you tell me what is the error that you are getting when you are trying to install the wcr1100 ?

[Faisal Aljundi]

Error box saying: "The target "hostname:/" failed Analysis, so the task can not be executed.

From the log file:[end lines]

"317 of 317 filesets will be skipped
The Analysis Phase succeeded"


But the product Scheduled : 0 of 143

Faisal,


xswgr1100 is a GENERAL RELEASE bundle

GENERAL RELEASE:

The general release bundles contains these types of patches:

* general HP-UX core patches
* critical patches to fix problems that could cause data loss or corruption
* hardware enablement patches to update or enable systems or devices


QUALITY PACK bundle:

HP-UX Quality Packs include all stable defect-fix patches for core HP-UX, graphics and networking drivers. HP thoroughly tests each Quality Pack and requires that it pass the same tests as would a new HP-UX operating system release.

If you think you are "missing" some, use the "custom patch manager".

it seem that the swinstall isnt allowing you to install any of the patches .

i dont have this cd that i can check ( i have only the last cd from mars 2002 )

the ciritical bundle that you need to install it general realese and hardware critical patches .

you can also check to see if someone have install thid depot and this is the reason that you can install them .

you the command : swlist -l bundle | more
and try to see if someone has install allread this bundle .

you can also send the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log to see what is the error that you are getting in the swagant .

but there shuoldnt bee a problem with installing this bundle of patches in any way that you install them .

You need more error messages. When swinstall shows you the error box, it is at the tail of the file and you see only a summary. You need to tab into the main text box and then scroll back to see the actual errors (look for ERROR). Once you have those errors, the problem can be defined.
