During the installation of patch bundle DPUXBDL_00701 in a MoM environment the installation might fail and the dedupe and the core patch cannot be installed. When checking with swinstall you will get the information that the pre checks were not successful. The error has been seen in an environment with 7 Cell Server HP-UX 11.31 with MC/ServiceGuard installed, DP 7.0, MoM server and centralized media management database. How was the error seen? In the environment the central MoM server was upgraded first and after the installation the cluster package was kept in runnning state. When the installation of the patch bundle is done on another cell server with stopped daemons, the mmd stays active as it is running on MoM server.
In the check script of the patch bundle it will be checked if any service is running, if found “Active” the script aborts with exit code 3. To find the real cause of the error will take some time. To solve the problem you need to stop the MoM cluster package too and now the installation of the patch bundle can be done without errors. The installation of patches release after the patch bundle can be done with running MoM server. So I recommend to plan downtime for the complete MoM cell and not only 1 server at a time.
Sehr aehnliches Problem gibt es auch waehrend des Upgrade des 6.21 Patchbundle unter HP/UX und MoM. Hier muss auch DP des zentralen MOM heruntergefahren werden – sehr aergerlich in einer 12 Cluster MOM-Umgebung.
