As of the March 2004 release, all HP-UX 11i Version 1 (B.11.11)
information for the Hardware Enablement, Quality Pack, and HP-UX 11i
Version 1 Required Patch Bundle formerly available on the Support Plus
web site is now available at the IT
Resource Center (ITRC). You can download these and other
bundles, including HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11i Version 2 (B.11.23), from
the ITRC as well as directly from
Software
Depot. This site will continue to offer information about HP-UX 11.0 and
HP-UX 10.20 patch bundles and their download availability. |  | |
The objective of the Quality Pack (QPK) is to deliver a bundle
of defect-fix patches for proactive maintenance while the Hardware
Enablement (HWE) bundle provides only those patches needed to
support hardware. Contents for these bundles follow these basic
guidelines:
Patches that address only defect fixes are
included in the QPK bundle; Patches that address only hardware enablement
are included in the HWE bundle; Patches that deliver hardware enablement as
well as defect fixes will be included in both the QPK and
HWE bundles.
Based on these guidelines, you may find different versions of
patches (sometimes older, sometimes newer) in the QPK or the
HWE bundle for HP-UX 11.0.
If your support contract is current, you will be offered Support
Plus media which contains the QPK bundle as well as other patch
bundles and products. However, because everything on the Support Plus
CD is also available at this web location, you can download all of the
software contained on Support Plus from this site free of charge and
without a support contract.
- HP recommends, but does not
require, that you install these Quality Pack
bundles:
HP-UX 11.0 Quality Pack
(QPK1100) - Defect-fix patches for HP-UX 11.0
on HP workstations and servers. Last available version:
March 2004 (B.11.00.64.4).

(700QPK1020) - Defect-fix patches for HP-UX

The following example shows how to download (to
/tmp) and install a QPK bundle on an
HP-UX 11.0 system (the same process can be used to download and
install an HP-UX 10.20 system).
Make sure your system is backed up before installing
patches.
Download
the desired bundle into /tmp on your
system. (You will be asked to fill out a product
registration form.) Select: Software specification:
HP-UX 11.0 for Workstations and
Servers
Fill out the rest of the form.
Read and accept the Hewlett-Packard "software product
'as is' warranty statement" and "software license terms."
Click the "next"
button. The "electronic download" page appears.
Start the download by Shift-clicking
the bundle identifier link under "download
software." (Specify /tmp as the
download directory.)
Verify that the bundle has downloaded correctly to your
system by using swlist. For example, to verify the QPK1100
bundle, enter:
swlist -d @ /tmp/QPK1100_11.00.depot

specify the
patch_match_target option (for
HP-UX 10.20, use
match_target):
swinstall -s /tmp/QPK1100_11.00.depot \
-x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true
Your system will reboot after the bundle is
installed.
