[Justo Exposito]

Hi all,

Any recomendations installing support plus march 2002?
I will install it today in a L2000 with hp/ux 11.00, I must used the "mark what target has" Option or "Manage Patch selection" Option?

Many thanks in advance,

Justo.

Justo,

BEFORE doing anything, make sure you create TWO make_tape_recovery's with the -A option, and MAKE sure you have TWO full data backups!

Also, yes, select "mark what target has" Option. Then look for patches that are "software" related and include them.

On UX11 and above always use the manage patch selections option, NOT match what target has.

In the mamage patch selections window make sure the 'Automatically select patches for software installed on the target' option is selected.

Hi,

Use Manage Patch selection.

Unselect - include patches with selected (marked) software from the source.

Select - Automatically select patches for existing software on the target.

I would install then on a test server first to make sure that you are happy that they won't cause you any problems in live.

HTH,

Dave.

Hi Harry,

If I do this option appear this message:
The match operation failed. No matching software from the target
"hp1:/" was marked on the source "hp1:/cdrom/QPK1100".

What's the meaning?

Regards,

Justo.

Hola Justo:

Read the ' read before install' .. there is a note on LVM....

You can select the new QPK ( quality pack) bundle.

Good luck.

The page is a copy of ' read before...'

run swlist to see if it is yet installed.

Hi Justo:

The "Match What Target Has" GUI selection (or, 'match_target' option in command line) applies best to 10.x releases. In 11.x the preferred method is to choose 'patch_match_target'. The 'patch_match_target' is the command line option with a GUI counterpart found under "Manage Patch Selection". Toggling the "Automatically select patches for software installed on the target" is the *apprropriate* action for your intention. That is, you want to select only patches which match software installed on your system.

Regards!
