HP UX Patch Management manual Installing the bundles, As root, run the createdepothp-ux11script

9.Select the bundle/depot link. The bundles are cumulative; select the latest.

The bundle's main page is displayed. It shows the following information and links:

•Each patch contained in the bundle.

If the bundle contains patches with warnings, which are notifications of known problems, they are listed near the top of the page.

•All patch identifications (IDs) are linked to the patch database on the ITRC and provide detailed patch information.

•In the right-hand navigation menu you can access the readme file for the bundle by selecting the bundle readme link. Review the readme for critical installation information.

10.Ensure all items are checked. Click add to selected patch list.

If you see additional patches in the selected patch list, the ITRC selected them to replace patches with warnings. See “Patch warnings” (page 38).

11.Review your choices to ensure all items are checked. Click download selected. The download patches page is displayed.

12.Under the heading “download items in one operation”, select a format option (HP recommends the gzip package). Select a zip package only if you are certain that the HP-UX system can unpack a .zip file.

You can use the commands whereis(1) and which(1) to make sure you have the appropriate software. For example, use whereis gzip to determine if the program is installed and use which gzip to determine if the program is in your path.

13.Click download. Make the appropriate selections (based on the browser you are using) to save the selected bundle to the /tmp/temporary_depot directory on the target system.

14.Record the name of the file being downloaded.

The following section refers to the file as patches.xxx.

Installing the bundles

To install the downloaded bundle, repeat the following steps for each bundle.

1.Log in to the target system.

2.Unpack the downloaded file patches.xxx by using one of these commands:

•If the downloaded file is patches.tgz: gunzip -c patches.tgz tar xvf -

•If the downloaded file is patches.tar: tar -xfv patches.tar

•If the downloaded file is patches.zip: unzip patches.zip

You must have an installed application that can unpack a .zip file. Not all HP-UX systems have such an application. If you do not have a system that can unpack a .zip file, then you would need to use a system that does, then transfer the unpacked files to the target system.

You can use the program locating commands whereis(1) and which(1) to make sure you have the appropriate software. For example, use whereis gzip to determine if the program is installed and use which gzip to determine if the program is in your path.

3.As root, run the create_depot_hp-ux_11script.

4.Verify the download by entering this command: swverify -d \* @ /tmp/temporary_depot/depot

You will see the message "* Verification succeeded."
