Advisory DP621 Patches

Posted on by 10 Comments

During the installation of the latest DP 6.21 patches you may receive following error: WARNING: Before installing this patch, you must install the DPWINBDL_00621 patch. Cause: the included install.bat assumes that you installed DP into c:\program files\omniback.

Update: 2012/06/01

A Non-Critical Patch Warning has been issued for DPWIN_00571:
    DPWIN_00571 – windows xp OV DP6.20 Windows – Media Agent patch

The following information has been added to the patch documentation for DPWIN_00571:
    Warn: 12/05/25 – This Non-Critical Warning has been issued by HP.
        – DPWIN_00571 may fail to install when Data Protector v6.2 is installed in a non-default location that does not contain a space character in its path. The installation will fail with the following message even if patch DPWINBDL_00621 is installed: “WARNING: Before installing this patch, you must install the DPWINBDL_00621 patch.”
        – Additional details on this behavior may be found in Change Request QCCR2A3822.
        – To work around this behavior the following steps should be taken:
            1. Extract DPWIN_00571.exe to a temporary folder (using 7-zip/WinRAR or similar tool)
            2. From the extracted files, modify lines 4 through 8 of the Install.bat script as follows:
                From:
                    FOR /F “tokens=1,2” %%i in (%temp%\DP_Path.txt) do (
                    SET DP_PATH=%%i %%j
                    )
                    if exist “%DP_PATH%\b621_patch” (
                To:
                    set /p DP_PATH=< "%temp%\DP_Path.txt                     if exist "%DP_PATH%\*b621_patch" (             3. Execute Install.bat         - This behavior will be corrected in superseding patch DPWIN_00578 which is expected to be available by the end of June 2012.

  1. Bei uns war es ebenfalls das führende Leerzeichen im Name der b621_patch Datei.

    Dies kann man nicht entfernen, deshalb muss man das Leerzeichen innerhalb der install.bat hinzufügen, ansonsten startet die Installation nicht, egal was man versucht.

  2. Hallo Bellatrix,
    ich hatte diesen Thread am Freitag mit angestoßen, war aber ungeduldig und hatte die lästigen Abfragen aus der install.bat schlicht auskommentiert, um Installieren zu können. Die Erkenntnis mit dem führenden Blank (Wen dürfen wir dafür eigentlich ausbuhen? Nicht für die Erkenntnis, sondern für das Blank ;-D ) kam ja erst über’s Wochenende.
    Insofern hatte ich nach dem Lesen der Beiträge das führende Blank im Namen gelöscht und gedacht: “Alles wird gut!”
    Jetzt berichtest Du:”Dies kann man nicht entfernen, …”. Wie meinst Du das? Konntest Du die Datei nicht umbenennen oder bist Du der Meinung, dass HP womöglich demnächst die Installationsskripte so formuliert, dass das führende Blank erwartet wird?

    Grüße

  3. Hi

    I spoke last week with HP Support

    OK I check both „install.bat“ and “DP_PATH.vbs”
    DP_PATH.vbs is OK, it set the right env var temporarly to “DP_PATH=\\xxx\\xx\\OmniBack\”
    The problem is with “install.bat”
    In line 8 — if exist “%DP_PATH%\b621_patch” ( — the “\” is not needed, if you delete it, the batch runs OK and the patches are installed correctly
