Hi,
I never heard of this option.
What are you basically trying to acheive?
What is you'r goal?

And the error you have got is fine coz it is looking for software "*.*.c=patch" which doesn't exist.

I just want to install a patch for installing oracle .when I use swinstall a patch on hpux11.00,the following error always come up .
ERROR: Software "*.*.c=patch" was not found on host "hptest:/".
And when I use "swlist -l patch \*.\*.c=patch" command, the same ERROR come up again.

Hi,

If you would like to install some patches for the Oracle, then just do

# swinstall -s /$PWD/patch_depot

e.g

# swinstall -s /$PWD/PHXX_12345

after check

# swlist -l product PHXX_12345



Best Regards

If its a patch you want to install. unshar the patch first
#sh PHXX_XXXXX
then go through the PHXX_XXXXX.text to have a look at the installation procedure.

use
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true -s /.depot

Also can you post the procedure you are using to install the patch.

The syntax your using is incorrect. You should use it this way:

# swlist -l patch -a patch_state \*.\*,c=patch
The output is is either

patch number subsystem applied or superceded or committed

To install a patch after it un-shar-ed

# swinstall -s /my/depot \*
Or use additional options for reboots etc. Using 'swlist' is a query only.

[yuxia]

when I type the following command,
# swlist -l patch -a patch_state \*.\*,c=patch
I still get the error:
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "hptest"...
ERROR: Software "*.*.c=patch" was not found on host "hptest:/".
I wonder if the swinstall have some problem.

try loading this patch

[T G Manikandan]

Also this one

Meanwhile,Are you with latest patch bundles?

[T G Manikandan]

Are you using the right command.

#swlist -l patch -a patch_state -a supersedes *.*,c=patch

[yuxia]

Use the command :
swlist -l patch -a patch_state -a supersedes *.*.c=patch
Error is the same as before:
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "hptest"...
ERROR: Software "*.*.c=patch" was not found on host "hptest:/".

[yuxia]

Neither PHCO_27779 nor PHCO_276872 can load.
They all need some other patch to install first!

The problem is that some logical volume which is not available now is placed inside /etc/fstab.

Just remove the /dev/vg01/lvoracle entry from /etc/fstab.

Then try the installation of patch

revert

This is a formatting problem with the ITRC
To circumvent the problem, the answer was posted as "swlist -l patch \*.\*.c=patch"

The syntax of the command that is attempting to be run is (literally, in case this does not format correctly)
#swlist -l patch asteriskPERIODasteriskCOMMAc=patch
#
OR
#swlist -l patch *.*,c=patch
#
It will produce a list with the patch status (applied, superseded, etc.)
For example:
# PHSS_27858.SUBAGT-HPUNIX 1.0 applied
# PHSS_27858.SUBAGT-MIB2 1.0 applied
