HP-UX Patching and Patch Management
HP releases patches to deliver incremental updates to your system. Patches are best
known for delivering defect fixes, but also deliver new functionality and features,
enable new hardware, and update firmware. You can use HP-UX patches to update
HP-UX software without having to completely reinstall your system application.
Hewlett-Packard provides several methods to patch HP-UX systems:
• “Standard HP-UX Patch Bundles” (page 99)
• “Individual HP-UX Patches” (page 100)
• “HP-UX Software Assistant” (page 100)
Standard HP-UX Patch Bundles
The HP-UX OE media provides standard HP-UX patch bundles for HP-UX core file
sets and applications, plus diagnostic products. Standard patch bundles are collections
of patches that have been thoroughly tested together. These bundles enable new
hardware, fix known defects, and provide diagnostics tools. In some cases, a patch
bundle may deliver new software functionality. All bundle software is cumulative and
replaces completely any previous bundle release for the same operating system (OS)
release.
For descriptions of the standard HP-UX patch bundles (including Hardware Enablement,
Quality Pack, and Feature Enablement), see the HP-UX 11i Version 3 Release Notes. In
