1. Online Bundle Information 
************************************************************************

You can find the latest patch status information on the HP IT Resource
Center (ITRC) web site.  This resource can help you manage your patch
bundle upgrade, providing up-to-date warning information and
replacement patches.  At the ITRC you will also find bundle readme
files, user guides, links to patch text files, and more.  To find the
latest Quality Pack information at the ITRC, use these steps:

1.  Go to http://itrc.hp.com.  Make sure you are at the correct
    geographic site:  Americas/Asia-Pacific or Europe.

2.  If you already have a UserID and password, select "Login" from
    the left navigation menu and log in to the ITRC.  If you do not, then
    under "New Users", click "register".  Note that registering at the
    ITRC is free.

3.  Select "maintenance and support (hp products)".

4.  Select "standard patch bundles - find patch bundles" under the
    patching section.

5.  Select "HP-UX patch bundles".  You are now at the "standard HP-UX
    patch bundles index" home page.  From this home page you will see a
    table with releases for the past year.

6.  Choose the release (by release date and operating system) that
    your bundle is found in.  If you are unsure about the release date of
    your bundle, use swlist(1M) to get bundle information from your
    mounted cd or local depot.

7.  Once you are at the individual release page, you will find a table
    with the available bundles.  Select your bundle from the table.

8.  On the bundle page, you will see two tables:  The "select item(s)
    for download" table that lists any patches in the bundle with
    warnings and the "Complete Bundle Contents" table that lists all the
    original patches for the bundle.  Note:  All patches are linked to
    their individual patch text information.  For each patch with a
    warning, you should read the warning text to determine if you will be
    affected, then decide if you want to keep the patch or download a
    superceding patch.  If a superceding patch is available and has
    reached a level 2 or 3, that patch will be selected by default for
    download as the "recommended patch".

9.  If you decide to download any of the recommended patches that
    replace those with warnings, you can either download just those
    patches or the bundle and the recommended patches together.

10. After making the appropriate selections click the "add to
    selected patch list" button to download.

11. Any dependencies for selected recommended patches will be
    displayed and preselected for you.  Always download the dependencies
    for proper installation.

    Select your download method (zip,gzip,tar).  "Unpack" the downloaded
    file, for example:

      # gunzip patches.tgz
      # tar -xvf patches.tar

12. After unpacking the file you will see the following:  The bundle
    .depot file, individual patch shell archive files, README_hp-ux, and
    create_depot_hp-ux_11 script for creating a single depot.
 
13. If you have downloaded individual recommended patches with or
    without the bundle, it is recommended that you create a single depot
    for installation to avoid multiple reboots.  To do so, execute the
    create_depot_hp-ux_11 script as root user in the same directory where
    you unpacked the download file.

    This will create a new depot to install from called "depot".  It
    will contain all of the individual patches you downloaded and the
    original bundle if it was downloaded.  It will also create a
    bundle called "BUNDLE" that lists the new recommended patches you
    downloaded.  HP recommends installing standard patch bundles using
    the patch_match_target option.  For example:
       # swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
            -s /tmp/depot
    You can also register this depot for network access from other
    machines.

For detailed information regarding HP-UX patching, please refer to the
Patch Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems which can be found
at the following URL:
http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html#Patch%20Management

************************************************************************
2. Bundle Notes 
************************************************************************

The following entries describe problems or important notes from
previous releases and/or the current release.  If the description
applies to your system, it is recommended you perform the action.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security Patch Check Tool

Once you have created a depot containing the patches you want to
install, HP recommends that you run the Security Patch Check tool on
the depot.  Use this tool, available for free download from
http://www.software.hp.com, to analyze the patches in the depot and
identify two classes of patches that you should investigate before
continuing with patch installation:

  1. Patches that have been the subject of patch warnings.  
  2. Patches that are recommended to improve system security.

An example follows.  Consult the security_patch_check(1) man page and
the FAQ at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/internet/spc_faq.html
for additional information.

swlist -l fileset -a supersedes -a revision -a software_spec -a state \
-d @ /path/to/depot | security_patch_check - -r -a  

Read the Security Bulletins and patch warnings associated with the
patches identified by the tool to determine what, if any, changes you
want to make to the depot before proceeding with installation.

You may also choose to run Security Patch Check on the systems you are
updating.

4.2 Other Dependencies
======================

The following patches have non-patch dependencies, such as dependencies
on other software products or hardware, or are conditional on other
patches.  If you are loading these patches, please read the instructions
carefully.

PHCO_34128 Cumulative patch for partition commands
	This patch requires nParProvider revision B.23.01.05.01
	or later to support sx2000 platform features.

PHKL_31500 Sept04 base patch
	- Prior to installing PHKL_31500 on a previously installed
	11.23 system, the installation of the August 2004 version of
	BUNDLE11i is required.  This patch bundle resolves a
	critical kernel defect that could prevent the successful
	installation of other kernel patches.
	- Prior to installing PHKL_31500 on a previously installed
	11.23 system with PCI-MUX revision B.11.23.01, the PCI-MUX
	software must be updated to revision B.11.23.1.1 or later.
	This version of the PCI-MUX software may be obtained from
	the September 2004 Operating Environment or Application
	media, or later.  Failure to update the PCI-MUX software will
	result in the following kernel build failure during the
	installation of PHKL_31500:
	ld: Unsatisfied protected symbol "forceclose" in
	file "/usr/conf/lib/libpci_mux.a[eqnx_bus_pci_mux.o]"
	- PHNE_32055 should also be installed on all systems on which
	NFS B.11.23 is installed.

PHKL_33312 LVM Cumulative Patch
	PHKL_33312:
	Serviceguard configurations using shared logical volumes
	should also install the following software or patches to
	obtain the online volume reconfiguration fix for
	8606403207 (JAGaf63141):
	- LVM commands - PHCO_33309.
	- SGeRAC version 11.17 (or later) or
	SG patch PHSS_33835 for SGeRAC version 11.16.
	PHKL_32095:
	This product update enables a new feature
	that allows replacing disks in active LVM volume
	groups.  This feature is described by SRs:
	8606359629 (JAGaf20325), 8606359627 (JAGaf20323),
	and 8606359622 (JAGaf20318). To fully enable this
	feature, the following update must also be installed:
	PHCO_31709.

PHKL_34540 RTSCHED run queue, idle hint
	For enablement of optimum performance on Itanium-2 9000
	processor series, PHKL_34517 also needs to be installed
	in the system. Installation of either patch by itself
	has no effect on the system.

5. Patches with Special Installation Instructions 
********************************************************************

The following list shows patches that have special installation 
instructions. If you are loading these patches, please read the 
information following the table.

5.2 Special Instructions to Install the Patches
===============================================

PHKL_31500 Sept04 base patch
	Prior to installing PHKL_31500 on a previously installed
	11.23 system, the installation of the August 2004 version of
	BUNDLE11i is required.  This patch bundle resolves a
	critical kernel defect that could prevent the successful
	installation of other kernel patches.
	PHKL_31500 may not be removed once installed.  Attempting to
	do so will cause the following error:
	Removal of PHKL_31500, "Sept04 base patch", would create
	an unsupported HP-UX.
	Recompile 32 bit applications that use the manifest
	constants IPC_STAT and/or IPC_SET after applying this
	patch, to avoid the issue described in SR:8606362729.
	The tunable st_san_safe(5) should be enabled (set to 1) if
	the system being patched is part of a SAN tape backup
	solution where multiple HP-UX hosts can access the same
	tape device.  This will prevent the situation detailed in
	SR:8606347386 where a tape unintentionally rewinds in the
	middle of a backup.  The fbackup/frecover utilities require
	device files which have rewind-on-close set on them.  The
	device files available when st_san_safe=1
	(no-rewind-on-close) can not be used by fbackup/frecover.
	See the manpage for fbackup(1M).
	The fix for SR:8606317529 is disabled by default.  To
	enable the non-blocking I/O feature, an application needs
	to use either rpc_control(3N) or svc_control(3N).  An
	application developer needs to modify each application to
	utilize a new macro and then recompile.  For details,
	please see the rpc_control(3N) and svc_control(3N) man
	pages.
