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.
Introduction HP Stage/iX HP Stage/iX HP Stage/iX is an operating system facility for applying and managing MPE/iX patches on your system. Using HP Stage/iX reduces system downtime and provides an easy and reliable method for backing out patches. Refer to Appendix G , “HP Stage/iX Reference,” for information on HP Stage/iX commands and staging area handling.
Introduction HP Stage/iX a cumulative fashion. This means that if you create a new staging area while a staging area is active, the new staging area will contain all the changes between the Base and the active staging area, plus the new patches applied to the new staging area. HP Stage/iX Task Overview The following is a summary of the HP Stage/iX process. Refer to Appendix G , “HP Stage/iX Reference,” for information on the full HP Stage/iX command set and staging area handling. 1.

Support Tools Manager (STM) for MPE/iX Common Problems Common Problems A device in the STM map is “Unknown” (MPE/iX) Many MPE/iX systems are “over-configured,” that is, their configuration files have more entries than are physically present on the system. STM lists these phantom entries on the system map, but cannot get any information from the non-existent devices to which they point. Consequently STM has to label these entries as “Unknown.
Support Tools Manager (STM) for MPE/iX Common Problems The “Device — >Select Class” command did not work. This is usually because the “Device Type” and “Qualifier Type” you selected don't both match a device in the system. For example, selecting a type of “Disk” and a qualifier of “SCSI” will not select any devices because SCSI disks use qualifiers of “Hard,” “Floppy,” etc. Use the “Device — >Current Device Status” command to determine the valid type and qualifier that apply to a specific device.

C Managing Disk Space This chapter includes the following information: • Determining Available Disk Space • Recovery from “Out of Disk Space” during Update • Using the ShowUSAGE Command • Using the ALTERVOL Command • Using Alternative Disk Space Allocation If you are on release 5.0 or later and do not have sufficient contiguous disk space on LDEV 1, follow the instructions in this Appendix. If you are on a release earlier than 5.0, first upgrade to release 5.0 or 5.
Managing Disk Space Determining Available Disk Space Determining Available Disk Space If you do not have enough disk space, determine how much disk space you do have available before you proceed with clearing more space. 1. Determine available contiguous disk space on your system. :run discfree.pub.sys;info=”B,ldev,volume_set_name” Use option C to see each drive separately. where: ldev is the device number assigned to LDEV 1. volume_set_name is the name assigned to the MPE system volume set.
Managing Disk Space Recovery from “Out of Disk Space” during Update Recovery from “Out of Disk Space” during Update It is now possible to recover from “Out of Disk Space” during an Update. UPDATE will skip any file if it cannot be added to LDEV 1. You will see error and status messages on the console at the point the file is skipped and at the end of UPDATE. At the end of the UPDATE, when the system normally boots, the system will stop. The operator must boot the machine manually.
Managing Disk Space Recovery from “Out of Disk Space” during Update 5. Redo the UPDATE from the same tape. (The files ISL.MPEXL.SYS and MMSAVE.MPEXL.SYS are small so there should not be a problem restoring them. The file START.MPEXL.SYS is large, but under reasonable conditions instead of just skipping it, the file DUMPAREA.MPEXL.SYS is purged by UPDATE to make room for START.MPEXL.SYS. If DUMPAREA.MPEXL.SYS is purged, it will be replaced by UPDATE when enough disk space is available.
Managing Disk Space Using the SHOWUSAGE Command Using the SHOWUSAGE Command After you have updated your system to Release 5.0 or later, you should no longer use the CONTIGXL utility to locate contiguous disk space on LDEV 1. Instead use the SHOWUSAGE command in the VOLUTIL utility. SHOWUSAGE provides the same information as CONTIGXL. To locate contiguous disk space using VOLUTIL: 1. Return to the ISL prompt. Enter the following to start the system from the disk: ISL> START NORECOVERY 2.
Managing Disk Space Using the SHOWUSAGE Command :BUILD AXLDEV1.PUB.SYS;DISC=n,1,1;DEV=1 Where n is the amount of contiguous disk space required on your system. 8. Refer to “Determining Available Disk Space” earlier in this Appendix to determine if you have enough disk space to continue with your task. If you do have enough disk space, return to the procedure you were working on and continue with the instructions. If you do not have enough disk space, proceed to “Using the ALTERVOL Command.
Managing Disk Space Using the ALTERVOL Command Using the ALTERVOL Command Use ALTERVOL to clear additional disk space for use during the modification (patch, add-on, update, or install) process. The ALTERVOL command sets the percentage of allowable use for each disk. CAUTION If you use the ALTERVOL command to increase the allowable percentage of use for LDEV 1, you MUST return the disk usage percentage back to its original settings after you perform the system modification.
Managing Disk Space Using the ALTERVOL Command CAUTION You MUST reset the ALTERVOL values after you complete your system modification. 9. Refer to “Determining Available Disk Space” earlier in this appendix to determine is you have enough disk space to continue with your task. If you have enough disk space, return to the procedure you were working on and continue with the instructions. If you do not have enough disk space, proceed to “Using Alternative Disk Space Allocation.
Managing Disk Space Using Alternative Disk Space Allocation Using Alternative Disk Space Allocation Before starting UPDATE, reserve contiguous disk space in the file AXLDEV1.PUB.SYS. This amount is at least 60,000 sectors but may be larger. The prudent way to reserve this space is in one contiguous block.
Managing Disk Space Using Alternative Disk Space Allocation available and the time to REINSTALL your system. If UPDATE runs out of space on LDEV1, you risk having to REINSTALL. Override this warning message [OVERRIDE/NO; default = NO]? 4. Return to the procedure you were working on and continue with the instructions.
D Backdating Your System This appendix contains instructions for returning your system software to a previous release (backdating).This chapter describes general backdating methods that will work in most cases. CAUTION Perform a backdate when you have updated your operating system version and have serious problems. Only do this under direction from your HP representative or Response Center. Do not use the directions in this appendix to backout patches.
Backdating Your System Planning Your Backdate Planning Your Backdate Planning can and should be done prior to performing your backdate. The backdate requires downtime and planning it ensures that all the requirements are met.
Backdating Your System Planning Your Backdate Response Center, if you have a software support contract, or your HP representative, before deciding to backdate your system. If your Hewlett-Packard representative and you both agree that backdating your operating system is necessary, follow the steps below. Please read all the instructions in this chapter before you begin your backdate. Determine what prior IO devices you will back date to.
Backdating Your System Planning Your Backdate certain purchasable products. Before you proceed, we recommend that you read: • The Communicator 3000 for the release you are backdating to, as well as the copy you received with your new release. These documents provide additional information on backdating specific products. • Check that any new disk drive in the configuration is supported on the release you are backdating to. Patch Considerations If you have applied patches to your level 6.0 or 5.
Backdating Your System Planning Your Backdate Method 3: Using an FPT If any patches were applied to your 6.0 or 5.5 system, they must be reapplied from the PowerPatch tape(s) after the backdate. Follow the appropriate manual for the release you are backdating to. Check Patch Tape Media To verify the patch tape source media and contents: 1. Log on from the console with the following conditions. :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI :OPENQ LP :STREAMS streams_device An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN.
Backdating Your System Planning Your Backdate Validate Your System Backup (Method 1) If you are using a CSLT (Method 1) to backdate your system, perform the steps in this section. If you are using a Factory SLT (Method 2) or a Factory Preload Tape (Method 3), proceed to “Check for Disk Space.” Before you begin the process of backdating, log on and verify that your backup tape is valid. 1. From the console, log on with the following conditions. :HELLO MANAGER.
Backdating Your System Planning Your Backdate 3. If you do not have enough disk space, either contiguous (AXLDEV) or non-contiguous (AXLSPACE): • Store files to tape. Purge the stored files from the system. • Purge the files and groups as directed in Steps 8 through 10 of the next section, “Securing Your System.” • Refer to Appendix C , “Managing Disk Space,” for directions on clearing space.
Backdating Your System Securing Your System Securing Your System Securing your system prepares it and your users for a shutdown.

Backdating Your System Finishing Up 252 Appendix D
E CD-ROM Resources This Appendix provides additional reference material for using CD-ROMs. It includes: • Further background on the information required as you are updating MPE/iX.
CD-ROM Resources HP Release Version Numbers (v.uu.ff) HP Release Version Numbers (v.uu.ff) HP version numbers specify the exact version of the software with which you are working. Version numbers have the format: v.uu.ff where: v the version of the software used to represent significant changes. uu the update number. ff the fix level. For example, Release 5.5 has the following version number: C.55.
CD-ROM Resources CD-ROM Disk Volume Set Names CD-ROM Disk Volume Set Names HP sends you two CD-ROM disks containing the latest software. The release version numbers are used as part of the name for the CD-ROM volume sets that contain the software you will use to update a system. The volume set names for the disks appear on the label. CD-ROM disk volume set names have the following form: MPE_ v.uu.ff_n where: v.uu.ff the release version number such as C.55.00. n the volume set number within the release.
CD-ROM Resources Loading and Mounting CD-ROM Disks Loading and Mounting CD-ROM Disks HPINSTAL supports two types of CD-ROM drives: HP-IB and SCSI drives. SCSI drives are the only ones available for purchase at this time. Loading CD-ROM Disks The CD-ROM disk volumes are sent in a plastic case. If your system has a caddy, you need to remove the disk from the case and put it into the appropriate caddy for your CD-ROM drive. You can then load the CD-ROM disk into the drive.
CD-ROM Resources Loading and Mounting CD-ROM Disks To dismount a CD-ROM disk from an HP-IB drive: :VSCLOSE volume_set_name Checking Volume Set Status To check on the status of the CD-ROM disks, you can use the DSTAT command. For example: : DSTAT LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN) ---------- -------- -------------------------11- 017070 LONER HPINSTAL (MPE_C.55.00_1-0) 12- 017070 LONER HPINSTAL (MPE_C.55.
CD-ROM Resources Creating a Product List Creating a Product List To simplify the update process, you can manually create a product list. HPINSTAL uses the product list to determine which products to update. Two types of product lists are useful when using HPINSTAL: • Master Product List —PRODLIST.PUB.SYS—lists all products that are on your Hewlett-Packard Software Support contract. These products are also listed on the product list included with the keyword certificate that comes with the CD-ROM disks.
CD-ROM Resources Creating a Product List Figure E-1 shows a sample PRODLIST file. Figure E-1. Sample PRODLIST File B1710A B1720A B1721A B1722A B1723A HP32106 HP36578 To make a product list using HPINSTAL, reply with the list of product numbers when prompted for them. After you finish entering the list, HPINSTAL asks you to verify that the list of products is correct and then saves the list in the file PRODLIST.PUB.SYS.
CD-ROM Resources Including Additional STORE Files on the CSLT Including Additional STORE Files on the CSLT HPINSTAL allows you to specify additional STORE files to be included on a CSLT to be distributed to another system. These files could be any files such as a third-party software package or data files required by an application. They must be STORE files because they are appended to the STORE portion of the CSLT. You need to set up a file listing the additional files to be included on the CSLT.
CD-ROM Resources Specifying the Base Configuration Group Specifying the Base Configuration Group MPE/iX provides default configuration groups for each hardware model. For example, names of some of the groups are confg950, confg930, and confg922 and they are located in the SYS account. When you set up your system, you normally use one of the default configuration groups to begin with and modify it so it matches the exact configuration of the system.
CD-ROM Resources Preparing a Base Group for a Remote System Preparing a Base Group for a Remote System If you are creating a CSLT for distribution to another system, HPINSTAL allows you to include your own installation-specific system files on the CSLT. You can specify these files in a base group. The base group must be a valid configuration group created using SYSGEN.
CD-ROM Resources Preparing a Base Group for a Remote System no NMCONFIG file in this configuration. WARNING NMCONFIG.PUB.
CD-ROM Resources Selecting an Output Device Selecting an Output Device HPINSTAL sets the output device where the CSLT is created to device class TAPE. If you use the default, HPINSTAL will write to any device of class TAPE. You can change the default when HPINSTAL requests the information. You need to know the LDEV number of the tape device where you want to create the CSLT.
CD-ROM Resources Selecting an Output Device LDEV: 8 DEVNAME: ID: HPC1501A PATH: 4.3.5 CLASS: TAPE OUTDEV: 0 RSIZE: 128 MPETYPE: 24 MODE: R DEVTYPE: TAPE MPESUBTYPE: 6 The R after MODE signifies that AUTOREPLY is on.
CD-ROM Resources Locating Your Keyword Locating Your Keyword HP provides a keyword certificate with each release of the software. The keyword certificate includes the following information: • Your keyword • System handle • System HPSUSAN • Release version • Instructions • Entitlement certification that lists all products purchased The system handle is a name used to identify the system. The system HPSUSAN is a number that specifies the hardware ID (for the system CPU).
CD-ROM Resources Locating Your Keyword Incorrect Keyword Entry If you choose not to create KEYFILE.PUB.SYS, HPINSTAL gives you three interactive attempts to enter the keyword correctly. If you fail to enter the keyword correctly by the third try, HPINSTAL terminates. Double check that you have entered the correct keyword as shown on the keyword certificate and try again.
CD-ROM Resources Copying Tapes for Distribution Copying Tapes for Distribution This Appendix describes how to use the SLTCOPY tool that allows you to copy CSLTs for distribution to other sites. SLTCOPY is intended only for copying CSLT/STORE tapes generated by HPINSTAL.
CD-ROM Resources Copying Tapes for Distribution approximately 10 minutes. You will see a series of messages and finally the message: SETUP IS COMPLETE You can then run SLTCOPY. Copying the CSLT from Tape to Tape You can use SLTCOPY to copy the CSLT/STORE tapes created for distribution to another system. The number of tape volumes that make up the CSLT varies depending on the type of tape you are using and the size of the system. You have to copy each tape volume separately.
CD-ROM Resources Copying Tapes for Distribution Select mode (? = help): 1 Copy tape to disk file 2 Copy disk file to tape 3 Copy tape to tape Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>? 5. Type 3 in response to the prompt about which option you want to use: Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>? 3 6. SLTCOPY asks for the number of copies.

Enter version number: 1 Description: FILE CONTAINS TAPE 1 RELEASE 5.5 CSLT. Version: 1 Correct [YES]? [RETURN] 6. You will see the following message on the terminal where you ran SLTCOPY: Reply for MASTER is needed.
CD-ROM Resources Copying Tapes for Distribution 2. Load the tape or tapes on which you want to make the copy. Be sure that the tapes you are copying to are write-enabled. Note the LDEV number or numbers of the tape drive or drives. NOTE For half-inch magnetic tapes only: When copying from a master CSLT tape to a disk file then to another tape, the copy tape must be the same length or greater than the original master tape from which the disk file was made.
CD-ROM Resources Copying Tapes for Distribution 7. You will see the following message on the terminal where you ran SLTCOPY: Reply for COPY1 is needed. On the system console, you need to reply with the PIN number and the LDEV number of the device to which you are copying. Following is an example tape reply performed at the system console. In the example, the PIN is 74 and the LDEV number is 8. ?15:19/#S2/49/LDEV# FOR “COPY1” ON TAPE (NUM)? CTRL A =reply 49,7 Writing tape.

Glossary A Activity A subset of steps performed for an individual task. For example, an activity would be qualifying patches using HP Patch/iX or Creating a CSLT. Activities are divided into steps. Add-on Adding purchased sub-system products to the operating system. Purchased sub-system products are also know as SUBSYS products. Modifications to already installed SUBSYS products is called an Update. AUTOINST Tool used to install, update, add-on, and apply patches to the operating system.
E Express Process for distributing PowerPatch releases. Typically an express contains a PowerPatch tape and a SUBSYS tape. Expresses are cumulative and are specific to an operating system version level. F Factory Preload Tape If the system is delivered with the ordered software factory loaded onto the internal disk, a tape containing a copy of the loaded software is supplied with the system. This tape is referred to as a factory preload tape (FPT).
Install Installing the operating system. The install variations are: new install and re-install. This process DESTROYS all existing files. INSTALL An ISL utility that replaces all files on the system disk with files from the boot tape, typically an SLT. L LDEV Logical Device. Value that points to a hardware device address. LDEV 1 is the hard disk on which the system software is located. A typical value for LDEV 1 is 1.
• Tasks are divided into Activities. • Activities are divided into Steps. R Re-Install Installing the system software over the existing system software. This process DESTROYS all existing files. If you have your files on backup, you can restore them. Do a re-install when a disk containing the MPEXL_system_volume_set is replaced. Reactive Patch A patch that is sent to you from the Hewlett-Packard Response Centers or downloaded from HPSL.
U Update Changing the current operating system version to a more recent operating system version. UPDATE An ISL utility that replaces existing operating system files with files from tape, typically a CSLT. Primarily used to replace a current version of the operating system with another version. V Veto An option when using the HP Patch/iX patch management tool. Vetoing a patch tells HP Patch/iX to not include (remove) the selected patch from the set of patches to be installed.
