Installing Patches Problem

[Pinki Meggi]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Oracle 9.2.0 onto HPUX 11.11. Im trying to install the patches specified in pre-installation requirements of Oracle Installation Guide.

For that i downloaded the patch. There is a README file, which i followed and run the script create_depot_hp-ux_11.
But when i try to install the patch running swinstall, it says:
Currently, there are no products on this source which are compatible with the target. Therefore, no products are shown.

Need help to solve this. I have find out that maybe it is OS version problem.

Best Regards

Pinki

Hi Pinki,

Could you post the swinstall command you used?

# swinstall -s /tmp/xxx.depot

I think you find the message you get reliable:
It is not compatible.
Maybe a 32bit 64 bit issue or release v1 v2 issue for hpux 11.11

Otherwise can you give output:
uname -a
getconf KERNEL_BITS

Hi, thank u for reply.

I have extracted the file into /tmp/patches. Then i run the script create_depot. After that i just run:
#swinstall -s /tmp/patches/depot


Is not it correct?

Hi,

The output of uname -a is:

HP-UX jupiter B.11.11 U 9000/800 1539710548 unlimited-user license

And of getconf KERNEL_BITS is 64.

if its the problem. How can i download the correct patch?

For example for the patch PHCO_23792 i just go to the patch database and search for PHCO_23792 and download what ot found.

How can i specify the OS version?

# ls /tmp/patches ?

#ls /tmp/patches
README_hp-ux depot
create_depot_hp-ux_11 patch_manifest

Patch PHCO_23792 is for HP-UX version 11.0. That definitely will NOT work on an 11.11 machine.

The Oracle documentation should list the patches required for HP-UX 11.11. You will just need to read through the documentation and find them.

I would recommend downloading and installing the latest patch bundle for 11.11. You can find that here:

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releasePage.do?BC=main|releaseIndexPage|&releaseId=5013-6487

However, you will still need to verify from the documentation that you have met all Oracle's patch requirements.

Really it was my mistake and i appologise for that. The documentation from oracle specify the OS requirements as HP-UX 11.0 ( 64 bits) and obviously the list of patches is for 11.0 version and not for the 11.11.

So that error message is due os version problem.

Thanks a lot for your attention.
