Chapter 5 Installing Patches and Applications

Table of Contents

This chapter describes how to install HP-related patches and non-OS HP applications:

Before You Begin: You should have already completed Chapter 4 “Verifying System Installation”.
“Keeping Up to Date with the Latest Critical Patches”: You should check on a regular basis to see if HP has released any new, critical patches.
“Installing OS Patches Required by Individual Applications”: Helps you to determine and install new application patches, if necessary.
“Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications”: Outlines how you to update HP, non-OS applications on your system.
“How to Backup the System”: Reminds you to create a final backup of the new HP-UX 11i v1.6 system.
“The Next Step”: Directs you to the final Chapter 6 “Configuring and Maintaining HP-UX 11i v1.6”.

To complete the steps in this chapter, we estimate you require 1-2 hours per patch and 1-2 hours per application. Time per patch is reduced if you download and install multiple patches in a single session. Please note your time may vary.




	TIP: This chapter provides installation information for HP-related patches and applications only. To install or upgrade other vendor patches and applications, please refer to the appropriate vendor documentation. You can find the complete list of applications included in the HP-UX 11i v1.6 release in the HP Application Availability Matrix: http://www.software.hp.com/MATRIX
