Installing patches with Ignite-UX

[Anitha_3]

hi,

the Setup:
==========

1)Ignite Server --- OS: HP-UX 10.2
2) I have 40 Clients of the Same OS, in that only few clients are added to ignite server for make_archive. becoz of the space problem.


My Questions:
------------

1) I have to Apply Patch Kit for all these clients. so, i want to use ignite server for all the clients to install Patches..

kindly let me know how do i go about it..

thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Govind.

The fact that it is an Ignite server doesn't really enter into this equation. You need to use swinstall.

Download the patches and use swcopy to gather them all into a depot on the Ignite server.

for i in PH*
do
sh $i
done

then:

mkdir /my_patch_depot
for i in PH*.depot
do
swcopy -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ /my_patch_depot

Now that you've got your patch depot all set up, you need to go to each of the clients and swinstall the depot:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s (ignite_server):/my_patch_depot
