Hi,

I forget to ask you one thing, why do you want to download such old bundles?

There is latest Support pack bundles June-09 are available at ITRC.

Thanks,
Just want to make the server patches identical to a different server where we have applicaitons installed. Some application seems to run fine fon specific OS patches..thats why my apps team says.

One more question - how do i check for patches inside a bundle? Is there any swlist command to check?

[Lijeesh N G_1]

Hi,

There will be a text file along with each bundle,in that you can see, what are the patches available in that bundle.

Text file name will be like "GOLDQPK11i_B.11.11.0306.4.txt", check for "2.1 Patch List" in that file.

Hi:

PAtch bundles are cumulative. You _really_ should fetch the latest bundle for 11.23 which is the June 2009 Support Plus bundle. That is, you will get not only the patches available in the December 2007 set, but any superseding ones plus any new ones. The Support Plus bundle This contains both the QPKAPPS and the QPKBASE bundles you seek within its QPK1123 depot.

http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releasePage.do?BC=main|releaseIndexPage|&releaseId=0906-11.23

You can view the contents of these depots directly on the ITRC Patch Database website (above).

To view the contents of any depot you have on your server, simply do:

# swlist -d @ /path/depotname

James,
One of our server came along with the Dec-07 bundles. There are no OS depot files on this server.

How do i check for the patches in the bundle in there is no depot on the server

FEATURE11i B.11.23.0712.070 Feature Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11i v2, December 2007

Hi,

what's about ignite to make an identical copy of an existing server?
So the patch level will be identical ...

With 'swlist -l fileset' or '-l product' you'll get a list with installed patches , with '-l bundle' you'll get the bundles.

Hi

You can copy the files with swcopy to depot like following

swcopy -s /cdrom/HWEnable11i \* @ /var/tmp/MyDepot

or you can install directly for ex

swinstall -s /cdrom/HPUXAuxTools ISEEPlatform

Also refer pdf and readme files in that cd.

Shalom,

Many application vendors specify you must have the December 2007 patch bundle. Oracle commonly does this.

This is because:
1) Oracle tested this patch bundle
2) The database install scripts are programmed to look for this bundle.

What many app vendors do not understand is what JRF said, which is that the December 2007 patch bundle is part of the June 2009 patch bundle.

With June 2009, you get the new and improved December patch bundle, with all updates and improvements.

The only downside to this approach is some application vendors install check scripts are too literal because they don't understand what JRF says. But Oracle will accept June 2009 and you are much better off with that bundle.

You just swlist the bundle name:
swlist BUNDLE11i

>JRF: To view the contents of any depot you have on your server, simply do:
# swlist -d @ /path/depotname

You shouldn't fall into the SD trap where there are two ways of doing things. To list a depot just use -s:
swlist -s /path/depotname
