I'd have a look in you /var/adm/sw/swinstall and swagent logs for infor related to the software dependencies errors

The patch suggest no dependancies but has WARNINGs..

Recall it is for 11.00, you are on an 11.00 server right? uname -a

Did you already install the QPKs from software.hp.com?

Hi Venkat:

The syslog.log file shows the install failed because of dependencies. Did you install the dependency patches too ?

When you download any patch, click on the dependency menu and find out those patches too. You have to install these patches when you apply the base patch.

The reboot is a must to update the kernel modified by the patch.

Looks like you need to resolve one dependency as well.

Hi,

my system HP 11.00..i couldn't figure out why it's rebooting again and again..

[venkat_7]

Hi

This patch doesn't have dependency..i've installed QPK bundle too

Hi venkat:

Did you check for any hardware errors ? any HPMC errors ? You can check the hardware with stm tools. Also if you get a crash dump, then you can send it for analysis.

Also you can try loading the latest QPK and HWE patches from the support plus media or from HP ITRC site. Do you have any errors in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file ?

HTH,
Shiju

[venkat_7]

Hi Venkat:

The swlist shows the patches are little old. Download the latest one - March 2002, both QPK and HWE and install it.

Also when getting the above swinstall errors ( dependency cannot be resolved) you can set the option "enforce_dependencies=false" ; however it is not recommended. You can set this option either in the swinstall menu or in command line:

# swinstall x enforce_dependencies=false ...

HTH,

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

There ARE NO dependancies for that patch... there is a different problem such as kernel bits or something like that..

getconf KERNEL_BITS

should say 64

[venkat_7]

Hi,

[venkat_7]

HI,

Yes it's 64

#getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

This is not good...Do you know of the compliance of HP-UX 11.I to Forte?

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

cat /var/adm/sw/needs_config

swlist -l fileset -a state

The patch may have installed correctly, but another patch may not have, causing the build failure.

Hi,

I don't know of the compliance of HP-UX 11.I to Forte..let me explain..

Venkat,

Can you post your /etc/rc.log?
Thanks.

Hi Venkat:

You had problems starting the named daemon ( in rc.log and syslog.log files). Did you configure it properly ? How do you resolve the names ?

HTH,
Shiju

[venkat_7]

Hi,

I configured before..after that i deleted named.boot file..right now we are not using that..how do i stop it..

Regards
venkat

[Helen French]

Hi Venkat:

Two options:

1) Edit /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file and put 'NAMED=0' instead of 1. Read the file description for more details.

2) Rename the /sbin/rcX.d/ ... start and kill scripts. eg:

# mv /sbin/rc2.d/S370named /sbin/rc2.d/s370named

See man named for more details.

HTH,
Shiju

[venkat_7]

Hi Shiju,

I've edit namesvrs file i've changed 1 to 0.Do u think reboot and panic happens because of named problem.

Regards
venkat

[Helen French]

Hi Venkat:

NO. I don't think the system will panic and reboot if the named is enabled or disabled. Since I saw this error in the log files, I thought of bringing in to your attention. Once you set the named=0, it will not start the daemon from next reboot.

Did you install the latest patches to the system ?

HTH,
Shiju

[venkat_7]

Hi siju,

Still not yet,i am waiting for Mar2002 latest patch..
