Patch is in installed state !!

titu — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:44:16 GMT

Hello All,

In my system one of the patch is showing as in installed state.

I want to apply latest patch bundle wil this state of this patch will not harm my system.
I ran check_patches and it give this messege:

NOTE: One or more patch filesets are in the installed state, but
they do NOT include a configure script. Since these patch
filesets do not include a configure script, there is no
difference between the installed or configured state.

The patch filesets in this condition are:

PHKL_31983.VXFS-KRN

I did this : # /usr/sbin/swconfig \*

but still the same state with this patch.

Thanks in advance.

Titu

Hi Tito,

What is the o/p of:
# /usr/sbin/swlist -a state -a patch_state PHKL_31983

This is quite an old patch (you must be knowing this). May be it is already superseded, hence in "installed" state.

Regds..

Hi Titu:

The message states, "Since these patch
filesets do not include a configure script, there is no difference between the installed or configured state."

Therefore, why are you worried? Move on.

Regards!
