"swlist" patch bundle level doesn't show installed level

Randy_9 — Thu, 04 Mar 2004 16:34:41 GMT

I just installed the Support Plus Sept 03 "QPK1100"
and the H/W Enablement. But when I do a "swlist -l bundle", I only see the H/W Enablement update, yet at least 7 patches got
installed out of the Support Plus QPK1100 Bundle?

I've added patches off and on trying to keep
up to date in the past.
The last Bundle date for a Support Plus QPK1100
is Sept 2002.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Randy

Randy,

Off the top of my head as not in front of a server.

1. Are there any errors in /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log?

2. what does

swlist -l patch -a state | more

give you. Is everything configured ok?

Regards,

Dave.

If you've added sparse patches, they should show up at the base of:
# swlist -a revision

Another way to show patches is:

# /usr/contrib/bin/show_patches
or
# swlist -l patch -a patch_state \*.\*,c=patch

User error:

In the directory where I had unzipped the patches.zip and ran the create depot script was the QPK1100_B.11.00.62.4.depot in addition to the depot it had created and the one I installed. This depot was only for the last minute group of patches the download tool recommends adding to your list.

Must keep my eyes open from now on....

Thanks guys, points awarded.
