later batch bundle has already installed...

Hanry Zhou — Wed, 21 Jul 2004 11:12:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to reinstall the fileset "OS-Core.CMDS-AUX" on 11.0 box, but got the following error in analysis step:
ERROR: A later revision (one with a higher revision number) of bundle
"XSWGR1100,r=B.11.00.47.08" has already been installed.
Either remove this bundle or change the "allow_downdate"
option to "true".

* Summary of Analysis Phase:
ERROR: + Exclude XSWGR1100,r=B.11.00.47.08
* 11 of 19 filesets will be Skipped.
* 8 of 19 filesets had no Errors or Warnings.
ERROR: The Analysis Phase had errors. See the above output for
details.

It seems I have later patch bundle already installed on the box than those patches the fileset will be loading.

What I should do in this case

swverify \*

If there are no problems: stop, do not pass go, do not collect $200 do nothing.

If you must reinstall you have a few options:

swremove the product then install. That probably won't work due to dependencies.

swinstall -x reinstall=true -s /path_of_depot \*

The dangerous part here is you are trying to install an older version of the software.

Better to reinstall the SAME version of the software so that problems with dependencies and other patches that may have modified this product don't come in to play.

The list of possible difficulties quickly gives me a headache.

SEP,

I did find verify error on "OS-Core.CMDS-AUX", and that is why I want to reinstall it.

I'm not going to install "XSWGR1100,r=B.11.00.47.08", and don't why the ERROR will come up, and complaining I have later revision...

can I remove "OS-Core.CMDS-AUX"? this seems the part of core os, so I'm not sure if I can/should remove it first.

Harry you can try and remove it.

swremove OS-Core.CMDS-AUX

I'm pretty sure it will fail spectacularly.

The way to proceed is to identify the component you want to re-install and install the same version as the one that is installed with the -x reinstall option.

I'm thinking thw allow_downdate option will probably mess up your system. I would not try that.

-x reinstall then the specific component of th XSGSR1100 release should do it. You are much better off with the same XGSWGR1100 release that is currently installed.

That should be available for download in the patch database link in the itrc main page.

Sep,

I did choose the option of "reinstall" in the swinstall window.
I only hightligt and installing "OS-Core.CMDS-AUX", not "XSWGR1100". I don't want to touch the current "XSWGR", ONLY want to reinstall "os-core.cmds-aux". So, I don't know why these ERROR came up.

the ERROR came up in analysis step, and after I choose reinstall and the fileset.
