[Penni Nussbaum]

I am trying to install patch PHCO_23966 (SD Distributer) bit the swinstall faile sbecause /sbin/init.d/swagentd gets zeroed out. I restored the file and tried several times. I even copied the file from a different 11.0 system. How can I install this patch?

Hi

use this option to install the patch :
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \-x patch_save_files=false -s /tmp/PHCO_23966.depot

see also the Special Installation Instructions:
This patch must be installed before installing any patches following the initial 11.0 Extension Media bundle.

If this patch is placed in the same depot as the core 11.0 software, and an update from a 10.x system is done using this depot as a source, the -x reinstall=true option must be
specified on the SD command line for the update. Otherwise,the patch may not be installed.

The above problem can be avoided if the extension media patches are loaded in a separate swinstall session following
the update using the patch_match_target option.

SD push and job capabilities, supporting distributed software management, are available in this patch.
This patch can be rolled back. Rolling back this patch may revert to old 11.00 capabilities which does not include SD push and job support.

also didnt see a case like this happen .

I tried swinstall with your command and it failed for tjhe same reason. It zeroed out /sbin/init.d/swagentd and then failed because the file was not there.

Hi

few things

1. i install this patch in my systm with no problem the /sbin/init.d/swagentd was not zero

2. the file /sbin/init.d/swagentd is replace in the process of installing the patch but
i dont know why he dont add the file from the patch .

3. my be your depot file is not complete is this is the problem .
the site of the depot in my system is : 1 root sys 10434560 Sep 4 16:44 23966.depot

also the output of the cksum of the file :
160315490 10434560 23966.depot.

4. if all the data is correct my advise is to stop the swagent and restart it and then try to install the patch .

also if you want i can put the depot file in a ftp site that you can download it for install .

see in the swagnt.log that the install process remove the file .

myby there is other info over there that can help .
