If you migrated to HP-UX 11i v1 via the update-ux command (Chapter 6 “Updating to HP-UX
11i v1”),
all previous OS patches were automatically removed from the system. If
your new OS or OE requires any new patches, they can be installed from
the HP-UX Support Plus media (see “HP-UX Patching Resources”). For a list of previous patches incorporated
into 11i, see the file:
/usr/share/doc/sw_patches.txt
New or replacement patches may be required as dependencies
for application software installed on your system. Before removing
a patch or a patch bundle, determine the dependencies required by
the installed software. This information can be found in the Release
Notes for the products and the readme files for patches. If necessary,
you may have to remove some installed software from your system.
To remove any patches from your system, first determine which
patches are installed. They may vary depending on system configuration
and OS type (32-bit or 64-bit). To display installed patches, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l patch \*.\*,c=patch
To preview the removal analysis, enter:
/usr/sbin/swremove -p patch_name1 patch_name2 ...
Patch dependencies must be interpreted manually from the patch documents.
For help on adding patches, see the Software Distributor
Administration Guide, available on the HP-UX 11i v1
Instant Information CD and on this web site:
