A.1 Patch Preinstallation Check and Installation Messages
The following sections describe messages you might see when running
the
dupatch
preinstallation check or installation functions.
A.1.1 Patch Installation Blocked by Unknown System File
Source:
Problem:
The installation of a specific patch
is blocked due to an existing system file that is unknown.
Cause:
This situation usually occurs when system
files are placed on the system through manual intervention.
For example, this
may have been the result of installing a customer-specific patch received
from Compaq Services or a system administrator's customization of
a Tru64 UNIX file.
Until you confirm otherwise, the unknown system files should be viewed
as intentional customizations that are important for proper system operation.
As such, care should be taken to understand why the system files have been
customized.
Action:
Determine the origin of the existing
unknown system files.
The steps you take will be determined by the reason
your system files were manually changed.

Section 2.6
for more information.

Problem:
The installation of a specific patch
is blocked due to an existing system file that is installed by a layered product.
Causes:
A small set of layered products deliver
updated Tru64 UNIX operating system files.

A.1.5 Patch Installation Blocked by Missing Product Subset
Source:
Problem:
A specific patch cannot be installed
because the product software subset is not installed on your system.
Causes:
This is usually a informational message
and no further action is required.
However, this message may also occur due
to an internal patch kit error that results in an incorrectly specified patch
dependencies.
Action:
If the specific patch being blocked is
the only patch being blocked you can assume this is an informational message.
It may be an internal patch kit error if there are other patches whose installation
is blocked by the patch whose subset is not installed.
As a workaround, if
you need one of the other patches whose installation is blocked, you can install
the optional Tru64 UNIX or TCR release subset and reinstall the patches.

A.1.7 Patch Installation Blocked by Installed Patch or Subset
Source:
Problem:
The patch you are trying to install
is built so it cannot supersede the later revision patch or subset that is
installed on your system.
Causes:
This applicability feature is used to
ensure that your system is not regressed through the installation of older
code.
Action:
If the situation is caused by a release
patch being blocked by a layered product or other subsets, contact your service
provider.
Output:

supersede a customer-specific patch (CSP).
Causes:
A file you are trying to update with
a release patch has been previously updated through the installation of a
CSP.
The release patch does not have any knowlege as to whether it contains
fixes contained in CSPs.
Action:

- DIGITAL_UNIX_V4.0F:
Patch C 00187.00
and can not be replaced by this patch. To install this patch,
you must first remove the CSP using dupatch. Before performing
this action, you should contact your Compaq Service
Representative to determine if this patch kit contains the
CSP. If it does not, you may need to obtain a new CSP from
Compaq in order to install the patch kit and retain the CSP fix.

This occurs when a patch delivers files
to your system that were not shipped in the initial release of the product.
For example, the sample output shows the removal of Tru64 UNIX 4.0F Patch
314.00; the patch delivers files that were not shipped with the initial release
of Tru64 UNIX 4.0F.

not been prepared to do a rolling patch installation. Refer to the Patch
Installation Guide as to the proper procedure to start a
rolling patch.
A.3.2 Rolling Upgrade in Progress (Installation)
Output:
This system is part of a V5.0 cluster which
is currently in the process of being installed via the rolling upgrade/
rolling patch procedure. New patches cannot be installed on the system
until the rolling installation procedure has completed on all cluster
members.
A.3.3 Rolling Upgrade in Progress (Baselining)
