Re: Verify if patches will install?
Use swinstall -p
to preview only. This will run analysis only & NOT the actual install.

Re: Verify if patches will install?
Simply add the '-p' option to 'swinstall' if you want to use the commandline. This will perform the analysis phase *only* and give you the information you seek.

Re: Verify if patches will install?
You can do this with '-p' (preview only, no install process) option along with swinstall command. This will not install the patch/bundle to the system; instead run only the analysis phase. From the analysis phase, you will get all information about space requirement, patch level, errors, warnings etc.
See this for more details:
# man swinstall
# swinstall -p -s source_depot

We need to use the -p option of the swinstall and then this will just take care of your needs.

Re: Verify if patches will install?
The swinstall with options given and without '-i' option will invoke the non-interactive mode for you. You need to give the command line options along with that. Check the swinstall(1M) man pages and read the Interactive/Non-Interactive methods.
If you want to check multiple options in multiple systems, then you can write a script for doing the same.
