Hi Chew,

1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

make_tape_recovery -> have you done ?

2. Login as root.

3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

cd /tmp
sh PHCO_38279

5. Run swinstall to install the patch:

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
-s /tmp/PHCO_38279.depot

How Do I Assign Points?
Only the question author can assign points to a given response. If you submit a question or new topic and another member replies to it, you will see a dropdown menu of points next to the reply (you must be logged in to see the menu). Select the point value and then click the "submit points" button. Note that you can rate multiple replies and submit them at one time.

How many points should I assign to replies?
Every response to your question is eligible to earn between 1-10 points. No need to worry about running out of points - when a truly awesome reply rolls in that deserves a 10, you will be able to assign it a 10! However, be careful to assign points based on the value that a reply truly provides. Use the following scale as a guideline:

o N/A: The answer was simply a point of clarification to my original question

o 1-3: The answer didn't really help answer my question, but thanks for your assistance!

o 4- 7: The answer helped with a portion of my question, but I still need some additional help!

o 8-10: The answer has solved my problem completely! Now I'm a happy camper!


Although assigning points is not mandatory, it is a key component of a strong, interactive community, and it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Others have taken time to help you, so please take a moment to give them credit for their assistance!

Are the points redeemable?
The points are not redeemable for prizes or other monetary gifts. However, the points will help your peers earn improve their Support Forums status. Your feedback also validates the quality of the solutions you have received. Other members can zero in on answers that helped you solve your problem, enriching the community knowledge exchange.

1. Get SWA from https://www.hp.com/go/swa

2. Run an analysis

# swa report -r issue -a CHAIN=PHCO_35743

An empty report means that you do not need the patch.

3. Build a depot

# swa get -t /var/tmp/depotForChew

4. Check for special instructions

# more \
/var/tmp/depotForChew/readBeforeInstall.txt

5. Make favorite recovery option

(exercise left to reader, see Ignite-UX)

6. Install

# swinstall -s /var/tmp/depotForChew -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true
