swinstall

[Tom Spence_1]

Hi,
I am using 9000/877 10.20.

I downloaded PHSS_28872 then followed the instruction how to install. But somehow the server FROZE! I restart the server with no PROBLEM for boot up.

Then decide to use BUNDLE by 'sam - swinstall' but swinstall can't install because the server has it, like this (swlist):
# PHSS_28872
PHSS_28872.PHSS_28872 transient

So what is your suggestion for me to do? reinstall or deinstall by using 'sam - swinstall'. Thanks.

Tom

hi,

I think it woulb better reinstall the patch. You can use "swinstall" with no option, and change the option reinstall in the options menu.

Ok, I agree with you about reinstall.. I checked with option menu, here is:

[X] Create target path if not there already
[X] Mount filesystems in /etc/fstab or /etc/checklist
[ ] Reinstall filesets even if same revision exists
[X] Reinstall files even if same one already there
[X] Use checksum when checking if file is the same
[ ] Compress files during transfer
[ ] Allow creation of multiple versions
[ ] Defer configuration
[ ] Enable auto-recovery of product for load errors
[ ] All targets to resolve the source locally
[ ] Allow installation of lower version than current
[ ] Allow installation of incompatible software
[X] Autoselect dependencies when marking software
[X] Enforce dependency analysis errors in agent
[X] Enforce script failures
[X] Enforce disk space analysis errors

Is this look right or check I uncheck or check in any list? Let me know. Thanks.

I would also mark
Reinstall filesets even if same revision exists

Before you reinstall the bundle. Check for the LITS (LINE in the Sand) patches.

Don't reinstall all if they are in your patch bundle. redownload the bundle and it's pre-req's.

check_patches (a great free utility) or

http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHCO_27779&context=hpux:800:11:00

swverify \* might have shown you the state of the patch prior to reinstallation.

Its always a good idea to know whats up prior to reinstalling

swlist -l product -a state PHSS_28872

If the state is currupt, swremove it and reinstall it clean.

SAM - swinstall, doesn't work for REINSTALL! I guess swinstall version is old! I think it is now PHKL_7777.Yeah I know it is old version but I'll update soon. Anyway, how can I REMOVE PHSS_28872 from swlist -l fileset -a state. Or should I use manual without SAM. Am I doing right type like this?

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true -x reinstall=true -s /tmp/PHSS_28872.depot

Will it force for reinstall with the same fileset? I hope so! Smile... Thanks.
