b. Create a directory for the depot:
# mkdir /tmp/wlm_depot
c. Place any patch bundles you downloaded in Step 1 (GOLDQPK11i or HWEnable11i)
in /tmp/ if they are not already there.
d. Check each of the patch bundles.
# /usr/sbin/swlist -d @ bundle_path
For example, check GOLDQPK11i as follows:
# swlist -d @ /tmp/GOLDQPK11i_11.11.depot
The output should include lines similar to the following lines:
GOLDAPPS11i B.11.11.0312.4 Gold Applications Patches for HP-UX
11i v1, December 2003
GOLDBASE11i B.11.11.0312.4 Gold Base Patches for HP-UX 11i v1,
December 2003
If your output is not similar, please download the file again.
e. Add the patch bundles to the depot:
# /usr/sbin/swcopy -s bundle_path bundle_name @ depot_path
where bundle_path and depot_path are fully specified path names, and
bundle_name is the patch bundle’s tag. For example:
# swcopy -s /tmp/GOLDQPK11i_11.11.depot \
GOLDAPPS11i @ /tmp/wlm_depot
# swcopy -s /tmp/GOLDQPK11i_11.11.depot \
GOLDBASE11i @ /tmp/wlm_depot
This step automatically registers the wlm_depot. Therefore, there is no need to register
it using the swreg command.
f. Verify the depot:
# /usr/sbin/swverify -d \* @ depot_path
where depot_path is a fully specified pathname. For example:
# swverify -d \* @ /tmp/wlm_depot
g. Place any missing individual patches that you downloaded in Step 4 in /tmp/.
For HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) patches, refer to Table 4-4.
For HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) patches, refer to Table 4-5.
h. Add each patch file to the depot:
# swcopy -s patch_file_path \* @ depot_path
where patch_file_path and depot_path are fully specified path names. For
example:
# swcopy -s /tmp/PHKL_32619.depot \* @ /tmp/wlm_depot
i. Verify the depot:
# swverify -d \* @ depot_path
where depot_path is a fully specified pathname. For example:
# swverify -d \* @ /tmp/wlm_depot
