Standard HP-UX Bundle Considerations
Chapter 2 53
Methods to Install or Update the Bundles
You have three ways to install or update diagnostics and patch bundles:
1. From core OE media the bundles are always-installed for install and
update. You do not have the option to deselect the bundles.
2. From an Ignite-UX server (golden image) you have the option to
select or deselect the bundles for install. See the Ignite-UX
Administration Guide.
3. From a software (or network) depot you have the option to select or
deselect the bundles for install or update. See the Software
Distributor Administration Guide.
Checking for Last-Minute Information
Standard HP-UX bundle releases often contain last-minute information.
Before proceeding, HP recommends strongly that you read the
documentation for each bundle or patch you want to load (see “README
Documents” on page 29).
For technical support, software management, and electronic patch
management services, check the HP IT Resource Center for information
about recommended patches:
1. Go to the web:
http://itrc.hp.com
2. Select
maintenance and support.
3. Select
standard patch bundles.
4. Select
hp-ux patch bundles.
5. Log in using your ITRC login and password.
If you do not have a login, register by selecting the
register now! link.
6. Select the release you want.
This links you to more information about the release.
7. Select the appropriate bundle link.
All patch names are linked to the patch database on the ITRC, and
provide detailed patch information and download options.
