Introduction
HP Patch/iX
HP Patch/iX
HP Patch/iX is a tool for managing your patches. Use it to apply the following to your
system:
• Reactive patches
• PowerPatches
• Express Add-on SUBSYS products with PowerPatches
The HP Patch/iX tool allows you to:
• Qualify all patches in a set of patches, including Reactive patches. This reduces the
chance of a patch removing a previously installed patch.
• Install Reactive and PowerPatch patches simultaneously.
• Selectively apply patches from a PowerPatch.
• Create the patch installation tape while users are still on the system.
HP Patch/iX is a screen-based, menu-driven tool. Use arrow keys and functions keys to
select and perform activities. Refer to Appendix F, “HP Patch/iX Reference,” for
procedures on using menus and the screen-based tool.
