Hi,

"slpam13:/opt/vmpatches # sh PHCO_34255
sh: PHCO_34255: Execute permission denied."

I believe it's denied because it's a directory!
You have to go inside the directory - what's there?

Give us the result of 'll :/opt/vmpatches/*'

Can you do swlist on them?

swlist -d @ /path/depot_file

[Bill Hassell]

When you download a patch, it will be in shar format and will not be a directory. Are these patches on a CD? Did they come as part of a product? A patch file will be named PHXX_12345.depot and a .depot file is a tar file, never a directory. You can't install a patch until you find the .depot file.

It was totally my error. Those patch directories had some other documents Hence, I was not able to install.

Thanks and regards.
