HP-UX Adminstrating

I have a question. Is there a way to add a patch and remove a patch at the same time that both require a reboot. I only want to reboot the server once. What I have found is that I will have to reboot the server twice with swinstall once and swremove the second time. Please let me know.

Why do you install the patch in the first place ?

I am sorry it is two separate patches that are both critical to add and to remove from a server.

You can remove multiple patches simultaneously or you can install multiple patches simultaneously but not both. Moreover, I would never even consider a plan like yours; it is far too dangerous. Do one thing at a time and you are always in a recoverable situation.

Of course, had you had a patch testing plan with a sandbox, you would not find yourself in the present situation.
