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
• Individual HP-UX patches
• HP-UX Software Assistant
• Dynamic Root Disk Toolset
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. The standard HP-UX patch bundles are also available on the HP IT Resource
Center web site at: http://itrc.hp.com
Individual HP-UX Patches
Individual HP-UX patches comprise the Standard HP-UX patch bundles. The individual
patches and patch bundles are available from the Patch Database on the HP IT Resource
Center web site at: http://itrc.hp.com
At times, you may find it necessary to acquire and install individual patches, for
example, based on known patch IDs, software functionality, reactive patching, and
security issues.
