swinstall fails while installing VxVM4.1 patch bundle

[Saravanan_6]

I am trying to install veritas SF in my HP-UX box.. Some prerequisite (OS/vxvm) patches are needed prior to install SF. So i tried to install a Patch bundle. But it throws errors for patches.

ERROR: The dependencies for fileset "PHCO_32488.C-MIN-64ALIB,r=1.0" cannot be resolved (see previous lines).
You must resolve the above dependencies before operating on this fileset or change the "enforce_dependencies" option to
"false".
* The software "PHKL_31500.CORE2-64SLIB,r=1.0" has previous analysis errors.
The prerequisite "PHKL_31500.CORE2-64SLIB,r=1.0" for fileset "PHCO_32488.CORE2-64SLIB,r=1.0" cannot be successfully

Pass me hints to solve the above error.

It is giving errors about dependencies not found so either you need to calculate dependency for that patch & include those patches as well in bundle.

If those are already included or installed on the system then use enforce_dependencies" option to "false" while executing swinstall.

[Dennis Handly]

As Mridul says, you must already have PHKL_31500 or install at the same time.

There is a note under Other Dependencies for PHKL_31500 that says you may need PHNE_32055.

>Mridul: If those are already included or installed on the system then use enforce_dependencies=false while executing swinstall.

If already there, you wouldn't get the error. This should only be needed for swcopy.

The key to this is the issue with PHKL_31500. This patch is worthy of a small book, but for now we focus on the fact that at least one fileset is not installed. With PHKL_31500 there are only a few explanations.

PHKL_31500 has a checkinstall script that verifies that a kernel build defect fix is in place before it installed. This fix is provided as a part of the 0408 BUNDLE11i. If this is the issue, then PHKL_31500 errors should be seen earlier in the swagent.log.

The other likely scenarion is that the OS-Core.CORE2-64SLIB fileset has gone missing. This should be extremely unlikely and would point to a system that might benefit from a nice, fresh cold-install once you understand how the system got into that state.

The "previous analysis errors" should give the answer. Tell us what the swagent.log holds regarding PHKL_31500.

1. PHKL_32425,
2. PHCO_32389

It says they are both superseded and you have installed their replacements.

You need to provide what Bob asked for:
