problems at CPM approach

[George Liu_4]

When using CPM patch approach, I selected "most complete" in assessment profile. However, I still run into two problems,

1. WARNING: "/mnt/depot": The software dependencies for 25 products or filesets cannot be resolved.

2. Some security patches recommended by some security tools are not in the patch lists.

Could these problem be fixed in CPM method? Thanks.

George,

Are there any examples you can provide regarding the dependency warnings? The patch assessment tool should resolve patch dependencies. You may be getting warnings indicating that there may be a dependency that'll get fulfilled at install time.

You may be lacking current security patches in your return list based on the patch 'risk' level you have chosen. Most new patches will carry a 1 star rating which would be returned if you selected 'innovative' patches. You may have to manually add these security related patches to your depot if you're taking a more conservative approach in your patching.

Hope this helps,
Eric
