Last patch updated

gee...given that you asked for the "install date", that's what I'd expect it to be...

and it appears to be YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS, I'd expect thats exactly what you got.

once again, please read the manuals.

Hi Senthil

It is installed date of your patch in YYYYMMDD format.

What is the difference between the output of above commands.

The install year of BUNDLE is 2008, but for PHSS* is 2002.

So pls explain me the difference between above commands.

Hi Senthil:

> What is the difference between the output of above commands. The install year of BUNDLE is 2008, but for PHSS* is 2002.

So? It would appear the the PHSS_* patches you listed were installed in 2002. Standard patch bundles are cumulative and will contain not only new patches and newer versions of previous patches, but patches that may be several years old and have not changed. By default, 'swinstall' will not re-install patches from a bundle if the patches are already installed. The PHSS_* patches in question could have been installed by an earlier bundle of some kind. Clearly, from their timestamps, they were installed together in a single session.

Regards!

Hi All,

Please explain me about followin patches.

1)PHKL
2)PHCO
3)PHNE
4)PHSS

[Dennis Handly]

I believe these are:
1)PHKL kernel
2)PHCO commands/libs
3)PHNE networking
4)PHSS subsystems

[Bob E Campbell]

That list is correct, but remember that patches can have multiple filesets. A PHKL patch might include commands or libraries. Look to the 1 line descriptions or the lists of filesets and ancestors to learn more about a patch.

You can view patch details at the ITRC patch database (http://itrc.hp.com) or using swlist:

# swlist -l product -a readme PHKL_12345

Plenty of text, so consider sending that through a pager.
