Patch Requirements

addition, certain patches are recommended for all installations.
Table 2-1 lists all the required and recommended patches for VxFS 5.0.1 and VxVM 5.0.1 for
HP-UX 11i v3. You can obtain all these patches from http://itrc.hp.com. However, some of these
patches may already be available to you in the HP-UX11i v3 OEUR.
NOTE: Ensure that the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 OEUR release is installed on the system.
However, HP recommends that you install the HP-UX September 2009 OEUR so that most of
the required patches are available in the system.
Table 2-1 lists each patch and mentions if the patch or a superseding patch is already included
in a given OEUR. If the OEUR does not contain a particular patch, you must download the patch
accordingly.
