Re: HPUX patch dependency check
That is what I'm doing. But sometime dependent patches are also dependent on other patches. It's mess to go like this on so many servers.

Re: HPUX patch dependency check
Another approach is to run swinstall with the preview option (-p)for the new patch to see if all the prerequisite patches have been applied. Many times, this way saved me lots of time especially if the list of pre-requisite is quite long.

Re: HPUX patch dependency check
You can run 'swinstall' in a preview mode, which does the analysis (dependency analysis) phase but skips the execution phase.
# swinstall -p -s

Re: HPUX patch dependency check
itrc.hp.com
individual patches
hpux
search by patch id
select for download
This produces a list with dependencies indented.
Depending on the importance of the patch I do one of two things.
1) I download the whole thing as patches.zip and install after creating a depot with the following command line: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /tmp/depot.depot \*
The reinstall=false prevents re-installation.
2) If the patches are big, I check the dependencies and remove those that are isntalled already with the swlist -l product | grep -i PH##_#####
removal can be at the web site or after download depending on my mood and how much of a hurry I'm in.
