patch verifiaction

lawrenzo_1 — Wed, 24 Nov 2004 11:22:43 GMT

Hello,

I have a patch depot which we use to update all servers each year: ie patch_2004 is the current bundle.

How can I tell if patch_2004 bundle has been installed on a server?

TY

Hi,

#swlist -R should list all the softwares and patches installed in the system.

#swlist -d will list the patches in the bundle.

I think you must be looking for

#swlist -R |grep -i

Best of luck

Hi,

do

swlist -l bundle

You can grep for the bundle you are interseted in. If you find it, it is installed, else it is not.

in this case,

swlist -l bunle |grep -i patch

Hope this helps.

Hi Lawrenzo,

Bundles and depots can be confusing. For ex., simply running 'swcopy' over multiple patches to put them together in a depot does not make them a depot. Though you can be able to install them in one shot, they will be installed as individual patches/products not part of a bundle.

In order for you to make them bundled (after you swcopied them), you will need to use 'make_bundles' command that comes with ignite. In that case, you can list the bundle by simply using

swlist patch_2004

Otherwise, you will have to list each patch.

Thanks all,

the solution is that I will list a patch form the 2004 bundle and search for this patch on the target server.

we have depot's and bundles on a master server and use this to push out all patches to other servers
