HP-UX 11i v3 Read Before Installing or Updating, March 2009 (Update 4 Release)

1. A read error while reading filesets from the OE media, with a “Bad
Address (14)” wording in the error message. Installing PHKL_39114
will fix the read error.
2. The update may hang while installing the filesets from the March 2009
OE media. Installing PHKL_39114 will not fix this critical problem.
This problem does not occur with any of the following conditions:
• you use Update-UX with a network source depot
• you are cold-installing from OE media or a network depot
• you are updating an HP 9000 (PA-RISC) system
• you are updating from a release prior to September 2008
• your system is set to a BPS of 4K or 8K before the update
What to Do
To Avoid These Problems
To avoid these problems, use the following steps that document the current
solution. (See Change Request QXCR1000907205 with the latest update on
alternative solutions.) If your kernel base page size (BPS) is set to larger than
8K, then set the BPS to 4K before performing the update from the March
2009 OE media. After you have updated your system, return the BPS to its
former value.
The following example assumes the current BPS value is 64K:
