Upgrade HP-UX and Oracle 8i

[George Nikoloudis_1]

Hi,

we are going to proceed to upgrade of Server with HP-UX 11i.

However for a short period of time we are going to operate with Oracle 8i.

What are the required patches for HP-UX 11i, and what are the required patches for Oracle 9i?

Thanks for the support
George

Oracle patches are in the release notes from http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html

Select the 9i version and then find the HP-UX section and select the link to the Release Notes. Patches are listed under system requirements.

Is there any information about the relinking of Oracel Executables?

[Mic V.]

We had a set of CDs -- I think it was 8.1.6 -- where the relinking step kept failing. It said that some files weren't there. It was actually a bug that Oracle knew about and the DBA got the fix from Oracle. Sorry I don't remember more details.

Note -- if you are going with Oracle 9i you will also need Java SDK installed, this is located at

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/index.html...

Also, you are going to be requested to install patches, you are going to see it on the download page where it says "*** IMPORTANT NOTE! ***
Java Version 1.4.1.03 and later and Version 1.4.2 for PA-RISC requires patch PHCO_29959 for HP-UX 11.0 or patch PHCO_29960 for HP-UX 11.11. "

I don't know which version you need, but I know that 1.3 SDK works (and probably everything newer than that).

So before installing 9i, download the java SDK from the site listed above, on the download page get the patch number and get the patch it lists (current link I found was http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHCO_29960&admit=-1335382922+1074537391453+28353475 )
