HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide, March 2006

Known Problems and Troubleshooting
Patch Bundle Required for Updating from Previous Release of HP-UX 11i v2
Appendix A 141
Please note that the patches in the August 2004 version of BUNDLE11i
provide a fix for link failures that could potentially be seen when trying
to generate a new kernel. HP recommends the install of the August 2004
version of BUNDLE11i as follows:
1. Use this swinstall command to load BUNDLE11i from the DVD. In
this example, the DVD is mounted at /dvd_mount_point.
swinstall -s /dvd_mount_point/BUNDLE11i -x \
patch_match_target=true -x autoreboot=true
2. If BUNDLE11i installs successfully, you are done. If you encounter a
link failure, use the following swinstall command to attempt to
load the bundle.
swinstall -s /dvd_mount_point/BUNDLE11i -x \
autoreboot=true -x reinstall=true BUNDLE11i
The swinstall command in step 2 can be repeated if a link failure
continues to occur, until the installation is successful.
The August 2004 version of BUNDLE11i:
• MUST be installed prior to updating from a version of HP-UX 11i v2
released prior to September 2004.
• Is recommended for installation on any Itanium-based system
running a version HP-UX 11i v2 released prior to September 2004,
even if an update to HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 or later is not
being performed, as it fixes a defect that may prevent future kernel
patches from installing correctly.
