Creating a Patch Depot 1. Create a Patch Depot:

Obtain the set of patches you want to place and manage in an SD depot.

For example:

PHCO_7891 PHCO_9348 PHKL_9361 PHSS_7726 PHSS_8966 PHSS_9400

PHCO_8353 PHKL_8376 PHKL_9569 PHSS_8667 PHSS_9201

HP patches as delivered by the Response Center or the HP Web site are

shar ﬁles consisting of a product depot and README ﬁle.

2. Unshar the patches:

# for i in PH*

sh $i

done

3. Combine all these separate depots into one depot.

To do this, use the swcopy command. First, create the directory to store

the patches:

# mkdir /var/opt/ignite/Patches

4. Now take the patch depots and copy them into the target depot:

# for i in PH*.depot

swcopy -s ${PWD}/$i \* @ /var/opt/ignite/Patches

done

5. Verify the contents of the depot:

# swlist -d @ /var/opt/ignite/Patches

Assuming the above example list of patches, you would see the

following:

# Initializing...

# Contacting target “interop1”...

# Target: interop1:/var/opt/ignite/Patches

# No Bundle(s) on interop1:/var/opt/ignite/Patches

# Product(s):
