[Donald Thaler]

I'm relatively new to unix maintenance/upgrade procedures and would like to know if i can install the current Dec 2006 hp-ux 11i v1/v2 upgrades (operativing environment,applications,support plus, extension release) without installing the previouse upgrades

If you are talking the GoldApps GoldBase patch bundles, then yes you can just install them without previous upgrades being installed.

[DCE]

Yes you can. The patch bundle is cumlative

[Geoff Wild]

Yes - it is cumulative:

NOTE: Standard HP-UX patch bundles are cumulative. The latest version of a bundle includes patches from all previous versions. Also, the QPK and HWE patch bundles may have overlapping content. This will not affect the patching process.

Hi Donald:

Patch bundles are cumulative. However, since you don't indicate the specifics of your current release, and whether or not you are cold-installing or truly updating from an earlier 11.23 release, please see this:

Yes. You can.

I would suggest to run a patch assessment to select all patches.

[Donald Thaler]

What's the difference between v1 and v2?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Donald:

HP-UX 11i v1 = 11.11

HP-UX 11i v2 = 11.23

Hi Donald,

Yes, you vcan install the patch bundle. The patch is a cumulative. However it wouldn't hurt to run the patch assessment on all the patches. After you get all strighten up on patches. I would start patching with the patch bundle that come out from HP about every 6 months. That way you are pretty close to being current on patches.
