patching HP-UX11

[M. Tariq Ayub]

I am running some HP-UX boxes with HP-UX11. The machines are not patched for few months. I want to patch it to the current level. What will be my approch? How can i determine which patches i need to update.

Hi Ayub ,

1. First need to check the current patch level:
# swlist -l bundle | grep patch

2. You can install the "QPK June 2005" bundle , for hp-ux 11.11 from.

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releaseIndexPage.do?BC=patch.breadcru
mb.main|patch.breadcrumb.bundle

3. Which version of hpux do you have ?

and would like to hv some more info.

Cheers ,
Raj.

Hi Ayub ,

You are having "Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11.00, March 2002"

can check with this :
# swlist -l bundle | grep -i qpk

And you can install "March 2004 Bundle" for hp-ux 11.00 ,
thats available on itrc patch db :

Nothing comes

root@sydsed1# swlist -l bundle | grep -i qpk
root@sydsed1#

Is that means no patch was installed?

[Raj D.]

Ayub ,

Just take the output of # swlist -l bundle ,and you can check if you have QPK1100 is installed.

you will get output like this :

QPK1100 B.11.00.60.4 Quality Pack for HP-UX 11.00, March 2003


You have HWEnable of June 2002. no Quality Pack , seems installed.

Any way you can download the patch bundle from the given above link and can install.

Cheers,
Raj.
