Installing patch bundle

[Venkat_11]

I downloaded latest patch bundle as tar file. And when i untared that file it came up with

-rw-r--r-- 1 50 namsysad 1402880 Nov 17 00:21 BUNDLE11i_B.11.11.0306.1.depot

-rw-r----- 1 50 namsysad 568 Mar 22 13:00 patch_manifest


Now i want to create a single depo file by using all these files. Can anybody tell the procedure.

Thanks

The file GOLDQPK11i_B.11.11.0509.429.depot was already a Depot file. You didn't need to un-tar it. You should use swinstall -s with the full path to the depot file:

swinstall -s /tmp/depot/GOLDQPK11i_B.11.11.0509.429.depot

Plus the switches you would normally use like autoreboot=true mountmount_all_filesystems=false etc.

don't forget you can do a preview to see what whould happen:

swinstall -p -s /tmp/depot/GOLDQPK11i_B.11.11.0509.429.depot

Run this file:

# ./create_depot_hp-ux_11

This will create a single depot with all patches included.

Also read the README_hp-ux file in that same directory. It should have the instructions.

hi venkat

You can try with swcopy

command :
# swcopy -s Depotname.tar \* @ /var/adm/sw/depots/jtmp

Hi Venkat,

Try to start swagentd daemon, i think it is not running in your system. To check it is running,
# ps -ef |grep -i agent

To Start

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

To Restart

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

hi eswar,

try to copy the files to another file system where you have ample disk space to create a depot and run the instructions again as the root user.

hope this helps!

kind regards

Atually i ran the same ./create_depot_hp-ux_11 by restarting the swagentd service and this time i got some errors. Here i am attaching the file.

Please check and advice me

Thanks

Venkat,

This time you have different error,

ERROR: "usxsl084:/opt/patch/depot": This target or source is already
in use either within this same session or by another session.
A read or write lock was denied.

Are you trying to install the depot from anyother telnet session ? Check the log file for detailed information.,

ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is
usxsl084:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).
* Selection had errors.

Hope some session (telnet) is making install process as well. Stop that process (or kill). Try with ./create_depot_hp-ux_11 file now.

I dont think another session is running to installing the depo file because nobody accessing the server.
And here i am attaching the swagentd.log file

Thanks

Hi Venkat,

ERROR: Failed to start source agent on "/opt" for
root@usxsl084.slb.atosorigin-asp.com. "/opt" is not a valid
depot. 03/22/06 11:47:05 CST

You have to give full path like, -s

Also, Just check anyother process like sam trying to install.

I am able to create the depot file successfully on the primary server. And i mounted the directory which got all files to secondary(another server) server by using NFS.

And when i am trying to install the same depot on the secondary server it just hanging up and failing. Am i missing any files which requires for installtion of depot created on the primary server. And i observed while created depot it updated some files under /var/adm/sw and /.sw/sessions/ do i need to copy any other information to the secondary server from the primary server to make the depot installation succesfull on secondary server.
