hi,

for install patch, execute

swinstall -s /opt/vmpatches/PHCO_34255

[Borislav Perkov]

Hi,
Look for the patch installation notes.
or
sh PHCO_34255
sh PHCO_34348
sh PHKL_34254

and you make depot of the each patch. After that you can install them.

YOu must read the installation instruction for each patch!!!

Regards,
Borislav

Ops
I haven't seen that they are patch directories.
Try to find PHCO_34255.depot file or respectively for other patches. if there are not than you should proceed with sh PHCO_34255 and so on.

I have started swagentd

slpam13:/opt/vmpatches # /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Hi,

#cd PHCO_34255

# ll

rgs,
ran

[Ludovic Derlyn]

permission denied --> check permissions and modify by chmod 755 if needed

[TommyT]

Hi.
To install patch you have to do
sh PHCO_34255 and it will be unpacked to two file PHCO_34255.txt and PHCO_34255.depot after that you can do the swinstall -s /full path/PHCO_34255.depot

You have to have the path to the .depot file.

[rariasn]

permission denied ?

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 8192 Jun 13 16:13 PHCO_34255

Hi,

"slpam13:/opt/vmpatches # sh PHCO_34255
sh: PHCO_34255: Execute permission denied."

I believe it's denied because it's a directory!
You have to go inside the directory - what's there?

Give us the result of 'll :/opt/vmpatches/*'

Can you do swlist on them?

swlist -d @ /path/depot_file

[Bill Hassell]

When you download a patch, it will be in shar format and will not be a directory. Are these patches on a CD? Did they come as part of a product? A patch file will be named PHXX_12345.depot and a .depot file is a tar file, never a directory. You can't install a patch until you find the .depot file.

[Prasad Joshi]

It was totally my error. Those patch directories had some other documents Hence, I was not able to install.

Thanks and regards.
