HP-UX 11.31: No patches are necessary
To check the patch version, run the following command:
swlist –l patch | grep “Xserver cumulative patch”
The output will look similar to this output:
# PHSS_32960 B.11.23.12 Xserver cumulative patch
The patch version will have a format of PHSS_?????, where ????? is the patch number. If this version is
equal or greater than the required level indicated above, the system is ready to use the ATI RADEON 7500.
If the patch version is less than the required level, install the latest Xserver patch.
1. Log into the HP patch catalog. The URL is www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do
2. Go to the find a specific patch search, enter its name (e.g. PHSS_32960) and press
Enter. This
brings up a new screen. If there is a newer patch that supersedes this patch, it will be listed under
the Most Recent heading. You will need to download the newest patch.
3. Click in the box next to the patch and click the
add to selected patch list button. This brings up a new
screen that displays the patch along with any other dependent patches.
4. Click the
download selected button. This brings up a new screen.
5. Choose the server to use and the format of the patch bundle. Once these options are chosen, click
the
download button.
6. This downloads the patch bundle to your system. Save the patch bundle to a convenient place on
your system. For this example, we will assume the patch bundle is downloaded into the
/tmp/PHSS_32960 directory.
7. Once the patch bundle is downloaded, unzip/gunzip/tar the patch bundle depending on the format of
the patch bundle. This extracts the patch bundle. Each bundle is a shar file. To create a depot for
loading, run the create_depot_hp-ux_11 script as root. This creates a bundle in
/tmp/PHSS_32960/depot.
8. As root, run the swinstall command using the newly created bundle.
swinstall –s /tmp/PHSS_32960/depot
Verification of Hardware Installation
After the ATI RADEON 7500 graphics controller has been installed and the system has rebooted, verify the
graphics card was correctly installed and identify which device file corresponds to which card.
1. Run the command
ioscan –fun –C graphics
Output similar to the following should appear. There should be one line for every graphics device in
the system. Each device should have gvid_core for a driver and the S/W State should be CLAIMED.
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
graphics 0 0/3/1/0 gvid_core CLAIMED INTERACE PCI Display (10025157)
2. Display the contents of /dev/gvid_info by running the command
cat /dev/gvid_info
