Patch Installation Problems

UNIX HP-UX
1

Hi people:

I am having trouble installing some HPUX patches on my 11.00. I am a novice :confused: at this so bear with me. I do not understand how to install depots.

Now I'm trying to patch my system so I can get the Oracle client installed.
Oracle says I need these two patches: PHSS_21950, QPK_11.00.64
I go to: http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/downloadPage.do find
the patches and download them .. Now, according to the README_hp-ux file, all I have to do from here is
run swinstall and pick my depot directory it created.

With just two you can just do a single install twice as well.

this one isnt bad either.

Hi,
You can use swinstall in GUI mode or command prompt

# swinstall -s depot_name\
-x auto_reboot=true \
-x patch_match_target=true \
-x patch_filter='*.*,c=critical'

All the best
