PHSS_30022 error

[Achilles_2]

Hi all,

I have downloaded PHSS_30022 from HP offical website and installed in my server. But I found that there is an error after extracted.

My server is ia64 hp server rx2600 and OS is 11.23

/opt/hp_patch/30022 # tar tvf hpux_800_11.22_05190954.tar

rw-r--r-- 50/100 63255195 Jan 28 14:05 2004 PHSS_30022
Tar: error! blocksize changed

I tried to download other formats (zip, gzip) but it has the same result. Do you know what's happpen?

Thanks you for your attention!!

hi,

you have downloaded the necessary files to create a software depot bundle.

the script, create_depot_hp-ux_11 will create a depot in the directory which you prefer and afterwhich run swcopy to that depot.

you may choose to run swinstall -s where you will see the software bundle.

regards.

I think that the pasic patch has an error, it couldn't create the depot.
Here is the error message whent create depot:

try this:

#./create_depot_hp-ux_11 -i
or in this case
#/opt/hp_patch/30022/create_depot_hp-ux_11 -i
this will run the script in interactive mode.

It has the same result.
I suspect that the source of patch is fault.

just back from lunch.

i did not see the tar:error.

yes, you may need to download that patch again. if you decided to use the gzip, (i.e. hpux_800*.tgz), it will still be a compressed tar file. perform these steps after downloading the patch bundle.

# gunzip -d hpux_800*.tgz
# tar xvf hpux_800*.tar
# ./create_depot_hp-ux_11 -i
for non-interactive mode:
# ./create_depot_hp-ux_11

it should perform a swcopy and create a depot.

by the way, i will only use this if i am looking at a lot of patches. for one or 2 patches, just download the patch and

# sh PHXX_12345
this will unshare the patch files, to PHXX_12345.depot and PHXX_12345.text

you may then do a swinstall -s //PHXX_12345.depot

try the ftp script download option. That gives you an ftp script that will get the files.

Or, if its one patch, just get the patch.

sh PHSS_30022

swinstall -s $PWD/PHSS_30022.depot \*

The patch may not be completely downloaded. Check the file size at the source and destination.

[Achilles_2]

I have tried all your suggestions, but it is still failed.

[Joseph Loo]

hi,

please be specified about what actually failed. the swinstall, ftp download or the execution of the script, create_depot_hp-ux_11, etc.

regards.

The PHSS_30022 is for 11.22

Does anyone know which equal patch for 11.23?

Thanks
