Patches required on system

[Prashant Zanwar_4]

Hi,
Good morning to all!
I want to analyze the system for patches required to be installed. Is there any way I can do it. Like run some diagnostic on the system and know about patches required on it.
Further I want to create my own package which will have set of patches and thus I will create a CD. I am having 6-systems in all.
Please advise, this exercise I have to carry right away.
Thanks and regards
Prashant

If you are on support, then have HP run a patch analysis for you.

They will send you a script called: collect.sh

Then you send them a file called:

PSIFILE-040907-yourserver.txt

Hi,

you can run the "check_patches" program under /usr/contrib/bin as well ...

If security is what you are concerned with, run "security_patch_check"

Hi,

unless you need a specific latest patch, you can rely on HP expertise and install patch bundles prepared periodically by HP. These bundles are:

HP-UX Quality Pack bundles:

HP-UX Hardware Enablement Patch Bundles
http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B3782HWE

Good practice is to update periodically also the Diagnostic and Support Tools
