Installing the Selected Bundles
Chapter 1 21
swinstall -s system1:/
cdrom /HWEnable11i \
-x patch_match_target=true -x autoreboot=true
You can use the swinstall command’s preview mode (-p option) to
get an idea of what to expect for the bundle you want to install:
swinstall -p -s system1:/
cdrom /HWEnable11i \
-x patch_match_target=true -x autoreboot=true
NOTE If the swinstall interactive user interface appears, then you may need
to enter additional information or take other action such as setting
mount_all_filesystems to false. Include the following option in the
swinstall command:
-x mount_all_filesystems=false
Tips for Using HP-UX 11i
•The patch_match_target option was introduced in Software
Distributor (SD-UX) for HP-UX 11.0. Do not use the match_target
option; it will not select patches from the HP_UX 11i Support Plus
CD.
Refer to the Patch Management Guide for HP-UX 11.x for complete
information on patch-related features of SD-UX. Also, see “Getting
More Information” on page 28.
• When using the graphical user interface (GUI) for installing bundles
using the matching operation, choose Manage Patch Selection under
the Actions menu and not Match What Target Has. Then, check the
box “Automatically select patches for software installed on target”.
• All depots that contain HP-UX 11.x software or patches must be
located and registered on HP-UX 11.x systems. For example, you can
locate and register HP-UX 11.0 software and patches on HP-UX 11.0
and 11i, and you can locate and register HP-UX 11i software and
patches on an equivalent HP-UX 11i system.
This limitation is due to data format changes introduced in SD-UX
for HP-UX 11.0. The version of SD-UX on the HP-UX 10.x releases
does not support these data format changes.
