[Scott Dunkley]

I understand that some patches are recalleed after release, where can I find a list of the recalled patches for the latest patch bundle, Sept 2002 ?

run the security patch check tool that you can dl from software.hp.com.
It'll tell you patch status.

Later,
Bill

Hello,

After a posting of my own, the esteemed JRF enlightened me on this.

go to this link:

http://us-support3.external.hp.com/xsw/bin/doc.pl/sid=411eddf60dd26c544e

which Maintenance and support,
standard patch bundles, view support plus releases.

Click on the release in question and all patches with warnings will be displayed and replacements, if availible.

Hope this helps

that would be useful but cant find it at that URL, have searched for "patch" and "patch check" and bothe returned no results. Do you have a full URL for this piece of software ?

[Christopher McCray_1]

Hello again,

If you are referring to the security patch check utility:

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6834AA

Otherwise, if it my link that isn't working, follow the instructions below my URL.

Hope this helps

Goto ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/
recalled_patches, as well as other stuff.
This is one of my bookmarks!

Scott,

You might want to have a look at this page on the software.hp.com site:

<>

It has a lot of good info, including the readme files for each of the bundles. The "bundle notes" at the beginning of each readme lists the patches with warnings (and the warnings).

Regards,

Dave

The patches these days have warnings. You want to evaluate the warnings to see if they apply to you. (They are usually something obscure in the QPK bundle.) Very seldom if ever is there a critical warning for a QPK patch because of the way they do the QPK bundle these days.

You might want to review the process, just so you know what's up.

Hope it helps

John
