5.5 PatchiX Training

Phase II: Installing the Patches.
If HP Patch/iX created a CSLT you will need to update from the CSLT. HP Patch/iX will
tell you on exit whether a CSLT is required.
Update Required:
If a CSLT is required the screen will look like the following after exiting HP Patch/iX:
Note: An update IS required to install this set of patches. You must:
1) Prepare this system for an update from the CSLT/STORE tape.
2) Update with the CSLT/STORE tape created by HP Patch/iX.
3) Rerun HP Patch/iX to complete the second phase of the installation
(restoring of files and streaming I-Files).
Please follow the instructions in your users manual for each of these
steps.
The preparation for the update from the CSLT is just like with AUTOINST and
PowerPatch, follow the users manual entitled HP 3000 MPE/iX System Software
Installation and Maintenance Manual HP Part Number 30216-90223.
After the update you will rerun HP Patch/iX. Unlike AUTOINST, HP Patch/iX will
verify that the UPDATE has occurred. If it hasn't it will give an error message. HP
Patch/iX verifies the update by bringing in a special VUF file from the CSLT
(PATCHVUF.PUB.SYS). The value in the file is only significant to HP Patch/iX, which
creates a random number, places it in the file on the CSLT, and looks to make sure it is
on the system after the update.
When you rerun HP Patch/iX it will ask whether you wish to continue the previous run.
Answer Yes. If you accidentally answer No then exit and rerun with an info="phase2"
parameter. Note: If you ever forget what the legal parameters are try an info="?"
parameter. This will provide a list of the legal info parameters.
Update Not Required
If an update is not required then the message printed to the screen upon exit will be:
Note: An update is NOT required to install this set of patches. You
must:
1) Prepare this system for phase II of HP Patch/iX. This may include
logging users off the system. This is necessary because files will be
restored during by HP Patch/iX and cannot be busy.
2) Rerun HP Patch/iX to complete the second phase of the installation
(restoring of files and streaming I-Files). Please follow the
instructions in your users manual for each of these steps.
