To know if the patch require a reboot ?

rveri — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 05:42:54 GMT

Hi All ,

This query is like that ,

I have a patch depot file . And doesnot have the associated README file and access to itrc.

So is there any way to find out from the patch, if it is going to reboot the system or not , if we install it. ?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Veri.

If you no longer have the text file that you get when you unshar the patch, you can look up individual patches online.

U.S. site:
http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/pdbMainPage.do

European site:
http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/pdbMainPage.do

Just enter your patch number, then check the "README" file to see if it requires a reboot or not.

Ok,

try this. PHSS_31800 needs a reboot.

# swlist -v -s /var/tmp/PHSS_31800.depot

look at the tag

category_tag halts_system

It's worth remembering that PHKL patches always need a reboot.

swlist -l fileset -a is_reboot -s /tmp/PHXX_NNNNN.depot

If it requires a reboot, the flag for reboot will be set to "true". You can also find the info from the readme.

swlist -l product -a readme -s /tmp/PHXX_NNNNN.depot

hope this helps,
