Patches

[hpuxhelp]

I have completed the installation of ignite -ux software including theirs fileset. However, I haven't done the installation for patches. What patches that I need to use for this and where can i down load it from? o.s 11i, model K380 32 bits o/s

Hi,

This is what I would do.

itrc.hp.com ->

individual patches ->

hp-ux ->

select 800, 11.11

-> Search by Keyword

Type "ignite"

and search.

Use the ITRC's Custom Patch Manager to identify the recommended patches. Download the patches, create a depot and install the patches.

The only patches you really need for Ignite/UX to work is the latest PAX patch. If you run make_tape_recovery it will let you know whether or not you have the latest PAX patch installed and recommend which one it is you need to install.

To the best of my knowledge, all you'll need is the latest pax patch: PHCO_26422.

If you are talking about only Ignite-UX, then you need to apply patches for pax(1) utility. You can dowload it from ITRC site:Select: Maintenance and Support -> Individual Patches.

I did it, however there is only patch that i need to download that is PHSS 27858...
I thought I would need more than that? any thoughtS?
I am trying to do make_net_recovery testing

[Pete Randall]

PHSS 27858 is an OpenView patch, you don't need it. The ONLY patch you need is the pax patch: PHCO_26422.

Can some1 show me how to untar this patch

[Pete Randall]

I don't think you should have to untar the patch - swinstall should handle it.

However, which patch? I repeat - you do not need that OpenView patch (and probably won't be able to install it) - you need the pax patch.

Normally to untar a bundle:

# cd tmp_directory
# tar -xvf ./patch_bundle_filename

Your patch file should be in tar format, when downloaded. Now HP has a script that comes with each patch bundle download which does all untarring, sh etc.

[Pete Randall]

Correction, Shiju is right, untar it with tar -xvf, then either run the create-depot script or just unshar the patch with 'sh PHCO_26244' and install with 'swinstall -s /tmp/PHCO_26244.depot'.

Sorry - should have been PHCO_26422.
