GOAL:
When customer asks for an earlier Service Pack?
GOAL:
Where are the older Service Packs stored?
GOAL:
Where can I find Service Packs?
GOAL:
Where are the Service Packs on the porting machines?
FIX:
Service Packs can currently be located on any of the porting machines by looking in /rdl/cdimage. The path names are similar to:
/rdl/cdimage/<version>/<platform>/FCS/<ServicePackVersion>-FCS>/SP_<date>
Example of a path name:
/rdl/cdimage/91d/hpux1132/FCS/91d07-FCS/SP_Sep24
In some cases you may already see a tar or winzip file in the directory. If so, then you can take that tar file or winzip file and provide it to the customer.
If a tar file or winzip file is not located in the directory, then you will need to create one in your $HOME (home directory) or working directory with the entire contents of the directory.
Example tar command:
tar -cvf $HOME/hpux1132.91d07.tar ./*
This command will create a tar file of all the executables in your home directory and then this file can be provided to a customer to download and extract using tar -xvf.
There are differences in tar commands from one Operating System to another. Therefore, if your customer is going to be extracting this on HP machine, then you too will want to be on a HP machine when you create the initial tar file.
