Hp Patches

[Ragni Singh]

Hello all, What are all the patches located in /var/adm/sw/save directory? Can that directory be cleaned out?

I am running out of space on that disk an wondering what is all the stuff in "save" dir.

Thanks and points will be assigned.

The contents of that directory are files that have been saved when patches were installed.

That can be cleaned out, BUT it MUST be cleaned via the "cleanup" command.

# man cleanup

Hi Sanjit,

Committing a patch causes rollback files associated with that patch to be deleted from /var/adm/sw/save/ directory.You can do that by using the command:

# cleanup -c

This automatically deletes all the files inside /var/adm/sw/save.After commiting you cant remove those patches using "swremove".
