HP-UX Workload Manager A.03.04.xx Release Notes

1. Verify that HP-UX is up-to-date
HP suggests that as part of your systems’ ongoing maintenance and support, the systems
be kept up-to-date through the HP IT Resource Center’s Support Plus program. This program
delivers quarterly patch bundles via the web and as part of the quarterly AR media. To
register, go to the following location:
http://itrc.hp.com
Select the patch/firmware database link and register to create an account and log in, as
instructed. After logging in, scroll down to the “find standard patch bundles” section and
select “HP-UX patch bundles”. The bundles of interest are “Quality Pack” and “Support
Plus”.
For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), the recommended bundles are described in the following table:
Table 4-2 HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) general support patches
DescriptionHP-UX 11i v1 patch
Defect-fix patches for HP-UX 11i v1 on HP 9000 workstations and serversGOLDQPK11i
(When placed in your local depot, this bundle appears with the names
GOLDBASE11i and GOLDAPPS11i.)
Required hardware enablement patches for all HP-UX 11i v1 workstations and
servers
HWEnable11i
If you are using HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) and are interested in using processor sets (PSETs),
you can download software (to support processor sets) from the following location:
http://www.hp.com/go/wlm
Select the Patches/support link and search for “processor sets”. This software also corrects
several problems (see the section “System panic when PRM is enabled; install failure in
absence of PRM when certain kernel patches are present” (page 13)).
NOTE: Install GOLDQPK11i before installing the processor sets software—unless you are
using a depot to install them at the same time.
Processor sets are included with HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) and HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31).
For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), install the following patches:
