HP BA322 90087 - Manual (Page 158)

On OpenVMS Integrity server systems, to access the directory containing the V8.4 operating
system patches, enter the following command, using the exact case indicated for each letter:
FTP> cd openvms_patches/i64/V8.4
250 CWD command successful.
To access the directory containing patches for layered products such as TCP/IP Services or
DECnet, enter the following command (for Alpha systems, specify alpha in place of Integrity
servers)::
FTP> cd openvms_patches/layered_products/i64
250 CWD command successful.
7. Search for the patch you want by using the ls command, specifying a few unique letters of
the patch name in uppercase (all patch names are in uppercase) surrounded by asterisks.
For example, to look for a patch named VMS83I_MX2-V0100, enter the following command:
FTP> ls *MX2*
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,151,52,14,235,168)
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
VMS83I_MX2-V0100.ZIPEXE
VMS83I_MX2-V0100.txt
226 Transfer complete.
47 bytes received in 00:00:00.00 seconds (45.90 Kbytes/s)
The .ZIPEXE file is the patch installation file; the .TXT file is the patch release notes (also
included in the .ZIPEXE file). Alpha patches have a .PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE file extension.
8. If the patch is an UPDATE patch or a TCP/IP patch, which can be very large files, you might
want to enter the hash command as shown in the following example so that in the next step
you can verify that the download is happening as expected (hash displays # symbols on
the screen as the file is being downloaded).
FTP> hash
Hash mark printing on (1024/hash mark).
9. When you find the patch file, use the get command to download the file, as in the following
example. Remember that case is significant and all patch file names are in uppercase.
FTP> get VMS83I_MX2-V0100.ZIPEXE
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,6,165,75,248,228)
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for VMS83I_MZX2-V0100.ZIPEXE
(36218732 bytes).

10. Repeat steps 8 through 10 until you have downloaded all the patches you need.
11. When you are finished, press Ctrl/Z to exit FTP and return to the DCL prompt.
12. The patches are downloaded as compressed files. To decompress them, use the RUN
command, as in the following example:
$ RUN VMS83I_MX2-V0100.ZIPEXE
This decompresses the patch into an installable file.
13. Install the decompressed patches as described in the patch release notes.
