Nejad,

The best thing you can do is use the swcopy command to create a single depot for all these patch bundles - then you can install the lot in one go.

Another benefit of Duncans suggestion is that it will reduce the number of required reboots...if any.

hi,

you can also launch swcopy in interactive mode like SAM.

Else command line options do exists as mentioned in the threads above.

good luck

Or use the website to download the patches.

You can download an FTP script.

Most likely the script will pop up in your explorer or netscape window. Copy and paste into a script on your HP server.

Such as /tmp/patches/ftpfile

Then run
/tmp/patches =>sh ftpfile
x - patch_manifest [compressed]
x - README_get_patches [compressed]
x - get_patches [compressed]
x - README_hp-ux [compressed]
x - create_depot_hpux.11.11 [compressed]

You'll then run get_patches.
Followed by create_depot_hpux.11.11

Before doing all this look at the depots on your system by running

swlist -l depot

Do the above steps and run
swlist -l depot again

You should see the new depot.

All the bundles and patches will be in the one depot.

If you have an Xwindows client on your PC
Run swinstall (after exporting your DISPLAY) to launch the graphical utility.

Pick the depot
Mark the depot
Install the depot
- The install part will do a pre-analysis which will let you look at if you have enough disk space, if there's any issues (view the log) and you can check if any reboots are required.

This is all from memory. So don't trust me and Read all the README files which are created when you unshar the ftpfile (sh ftpfile). For steps to install.

They also give the command line method to install if you're not using the GUI.

It's just a lot simpler to use the command line. Especially for swcopy where you want to copy all.
For swinstall it's pretty easy too, especially for patches.

It seems you already have it:
B.11.11.0306.1 Required Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i, June 2003

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi,

can you try to specify the switch
'patch_match_target=true' in the command line?

This will automatically select patches applicable to software already installed on the server.

revert!

Hi
i know i have the B.11.11.0306.1
but i want to install the last new bundle
to replace it.

thanks

Hold on...

You're patched to 2005.
The base (top level) BUNDLE11i I don't think ever changes...always June 2003.

Can other people confirm? But I think that's true.

You then apply the latest bundles which update the GOLDAPPS11 and GOLDBASE11i.

If you update the HW enablement it updates HWEnable11i.

So you're looking at the wrong spot. Re-check and see if it's going to update GOLDAPPS and GOLDBASE.

Cheers
