Patch PHSS_24638 installation

[Chamitha Wijesekera]

Hi, I'm getting the following error when i attempt to install the PHSS_24638 patch. I did sucessfully extract the patch and i get the error when i try to execute the create_depot_hp-ux_11 file to create the depot directory and patch files. any assistance is welcome!

I have attached the txt file with the entire command line output. I am executing this script as super user.

Hi,

Can you attach this file,

/tmp/depot/swagent.log

I have attached the swagent.log file as requested...

Hi,

Is this server a MC/SG node. This problem has been seen on SG nodes while depot creation.

Hope this helps.

well i'm not sure about that... its a remote machine that i'm telneting to! but i think it must be a single stand alone machine on the network

Hi,

this is what you can try. I have tried this and it worked for me. My system is a service Guard node, so you can check if yours is same or not.

I hope you are logged in into your system as root.

Run "cmviewcl" to check if this is a cluster node, just to confirm.

now for your problem, try these,

export RPC_SUPPORTED_NETADDRS=ip:a.b.c.d

Here a.b.c.d is the fixed ip address of your system and not the floating ip of a MC/SG package.

then restart swagentd,

/usr/sbin/swagentd -r

Now try to create the depot once again.

cd /tmp
sh create_depot_hp-ux_11

or wherever create depot file located.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Looks like there was a problem with the swagent daemon. Try this,

do the export of that RPC environment variable first.

Stop the swagent daemon.

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

Then try your depot creation.

If it still gives some problem, attach your swagent.log file from /tmp/depot. Try the export and the stop/start for swagentd and the depot creation from the same telnet login window.

Hope this helps.

I tried what ya said and i still got the same error messages. here is the log.

Hi,

The log does not reflect any error. It says everything was successful.

/Quote/
* Packaging the bundle
"BUNDLE,r=B.11.00,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP".

Look at your depot creation shell file. Can you post your shell file. I'm not much of a shell scripting person but let me see if i can be any help.

Hope this helps.

thats strange cause the output like i posted before reflects the existance of errors. i guess you are refering to the create_depot_hp-ux_11 shell script? if so i have attached it here

[Sanjay_6]

Hi,

Are you trying to create a depot file with the bundle specification in it. I have modified your shell file to create a file in /tmp. The file name will be patches.depot. Hope this is what you are looking for. You can use the /tmp/patches.depot file for installation is swinstall.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I've changed the name of the patch in that file,

PATCH_LIST="
PHSS_25758 "

I used this patch to create the depot file. Modify this to the one you are using.

Thanks
Sanjay

I updated the patch number in the script you sent and ran it. it seemed to execute corrently. but when i run swinstall and point to the patches.depot file and proceed with the installation i get a error in the analysation phace. i have attached the log here.
