Cluster-Specific Installation and Removal Release Notes
This section provides information you need to be aware of if you are installing or removing patch
kits from a TruCluster Server environment.
dupclone Error Message Can Be Ignored
Installing this kit using the dupclone process on systems that do not have all of the operating
system and TruCluster Server base subsets installed may result in a messages similar to the
following to be displayed:
Problem installing:
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B:
Patch 29034.00
requires the existence of the following un-installed/un-selected subset(s):
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B:
Patch 29023.00
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B:
Patch 29050.00
You can ignore this message. In all cases, the subsets will be installed correctly.
See “Cluster Cloning Offers Alternative to No-Roll Patching” (page 29) for an introduction to
dupclone.
Installed CSP Could Affect dupatch Cloning Process
If you have installed customer-specific patches (CSPs) on your system, you may see a message
similar to the following when installing this kit using the dupatch cloning process, at which
time the cloning process will be terminated:
Inspecting 69 patches for possible system conflicts ...
./usr/bin/ls:
is installed by Customer Specific Patch (CSP):
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B / Installation Patches:
Patch 01682.00 - Fix for dupatch command and can not be replaced by this patch
. To install this patch,ideally, you must first remove the
CSP using dupatch. Before performing this action, you should
contact your HP Service Representative to determine if this
patch kit contains the CSP. If it does not, you may need to
obtain a new CSP from HP in order to install the patch kit
and retain the CSP fix. Or, you may use dupatch baselining to
enable the patch installation.
The recommended action is to perform dupatch baselining on your existing system to enable
the patch installation process and retain the CSP on your system. Removing the CSP (as mentioned
in message) could eliminate the fixes made by that CSP.
After running the baselining process on your existing system, you will need to begin the cloning
process from the beginning by reduplicating your system on an alternate set of disks and
rerunning the dupatch cloning process. See the Patch Kit Installation Instructions for information
about performing baselining and on the patch cloning process.
