HP Tru64 UNIX Technical Updates for the Version 5.1B and Higher Operating System and Patches (February 2010)
• The patch kit you want to remove was installed before the NHD kit.
For example, if you installed Patch Kit 2 and then installed NHD-7, you cannot remove that
patch kit. However, if you later installed Patch Kit 4, you can remove that patch kit.
• The patch kit was installed with NHD-7.
Beginning with the release of Patch Kit 3, patch kits were incorporated into the NHD-7 kits.
As a result, when you installed NHD-7, you automatically installed the current patch kit.
These patch kits cannot be removed. However, you can remove any subsequent patch kits.
For example, if you installed NHD-7 with Patch Kit 4 and later installed Patch Kit 5, you
cannot remove Patch Kit 4, but can remove Patch Kit 5.
If you must remove the patch kit, the only solution is to rebuild your system environment by
reinstalling the Version 5.1B operating system and then restoring your system to its state before
you installed NHD-7 with the unwanted patch kit.
Version 5.1B-4 (Patch Kit 6)
The following notes pertain to Version 5.1B-4.
Manually Cloning a Cluster Using dupclone (May 2007)
This note describes how to manually clone a cluster prior to using the dupclone procedure
included on the Version 5.1B-4 CD. See the Patch Kit Installation Instructions (PDF version) for
information on using the dupclone script.
Before you being the cloning procedure, ensure that the cluster passes all dupatch pre-installation
checks. If a pre-installation check fails, correct the problem. Failing to do so will prevent dupclone
from installing the patch kit. The following example shows how to perform the pre-installation
check:
NOTE: In the examples presented in this note, text that is preceded by <–– are comments, and
