HP Tru64 UNIX Release Notes for Version 5.1B-4 (13157)

Extract dupatch Tools Before Cloning
When beginning a cloning process, first mount the Version 5.1B-4 CD (or extract the kit if
downloaded from the Web) to your Version 5.1B-3 system and run the dupatch command to
install the necessary cloning tools. See the Patch Kit Installation Instructions document for
information about installing the latest dupatch tools.
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 might result in a messages similar to the
following to be displayed:
Problem installing:
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B:
Patch 27034.00
requires the existence of the following un-installed/un-selected subset(s):
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B:
Patch 27023.00
- Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B:
Patch 27050.00
.
.
.
You can ignore this message. In all cases, the subsets are installed correctly.
See “Cloning Offers Alternative to No-Roll Patching” (page 9) for an introduction to dupclone.
Installed CSP Might Affect dupatch Cloning Process
If you have installed customer-specific patches (CSPs) on your system, you might see a message
similar to the following when installing this kit using the dupatch cloning process, at which
time the cloning process is 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 the message) could eliminate the fixes made by that CSP.
After running the baselining process on your existing system, you 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 about the patch cloning process.
