Hunting patches for HP-UX is not a simple task. Patch IDs are different for newer versions of the same patch, meaning that a newer version of a patch will have no meaningful connection to the previous version of that patch.
I have discovered that the best option is to track the patch is by finding out what is the subsystem which has been fixed by its predecessor, and searching for this subsystem in this HP-UX patch search engine or in this entire list here.
Good luck.
Last night, after I finished writing the previous entry, I was looking for Fujitsu & Linux related sites, for somewhat more information about my modem. I found out a site, which reminded me of the Fujitsu special keys which I’ve never used nor managed to setup. Well, the version the site pointed at was old,…
dm-multipath is a great tool. Its abilities were proven to me on many occasions, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. NetApp, for example, use it. HP use it as well (a slightly modified version, and still), and it works. A problem I have encountered is as follow – if a single path fails,…

Imagine Omniback 4.x to Omniback 5.5 upgrade on HP-UX. Imagine you assume all existing backup procedure (and you were told there is license only for disk agent) is based on filesystem backup. Assume you know there’s Oracle installed on this server, but no relevant agent (again, filesystem only, no DB agents…) You are cautious. You…
While Linux vendors tend to maintain and publish the whole zone and daylight saving (DST) information, most legacy Unix vendors do not. Especially when it comes to such a small country such as Israel. The following solution was tested for HP-UX B.11.31, and would probably work for all 11i versions. Israel timezone is called IST….
I have installed today an HP-UX 11i V2 on PA-Risc server, and it went quite fine. I have used the “Technical Environment” DVDs for installation, and it went fine. I was unable to find, however, the Raid1 (Mirror) tools for the LVM. Symptoms: There is no parameter “-m” to “lvextend“. According to documentaion (or even…
