Installed a patch but it is not displaying using swlist ..

[shashi kiran_3]

Today I have installed a patch (PHSS_20861 & PHSS_23796 ) using swinstall on our HP-UX 10.20 machines.There was no error and it was successful.

But if I run swlist | grep PHSS_20861 Or swlist | grep PHSS_23796 it is not displaying the installed patch..
i tried it After reboot also. I believe it is not installed.


But If I run [root@zen / 3 ] /usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state | grep PHSS_20861
# PHSS_20861
PHSS_20861.PHSS_20861 configured
[root@zen / 54 ]

These Patchs are there at /var/adm/sw/products


any suggestions?

Thanks ,

Did you install them as a bundle? If so, swlist will not show them individually.

I don't know why - perhaps someone else can explain that. But don't worry - this happens to me all the time and the patches have successfully installed.

Try "swlist -l patch | grep PHSS_ 20861 " and "swlist -l patch |grep PHSS_23796".

Hi,

you should use "swlist -l product|grep PHSS_XXX
not only swlist|grep ...

Hi Shashikiran,

Check for the existence of the patches with:

swlist -l patch | grep -e 20861 -e 23796

you can also add -a state to see if they're Configured. Do the sw?????.log files show the patch being installed?

HTH,
Jeff

Shashikiran,

swlist display products in a hierarchy - the default level is to show a product bundle.

Those patches are probably part of a bundle already installed on your system.

To see all patches installed on a system, including those in bundles, don't run just 'swlist', run 'swlist -l product'.

If the swlist you ran down to fileset level (swlist -l fileset -a state) shows them as configured, then they are dfeinately installed.

Default action of swlist will give the sd reports with bundle(s) and Product(s) not contained in a Bundle.

If you are trying for fileset level then you have to start with swlist -l

-l level levels of objects to view, one of: "depot",
"bundle", "product", "subproduct", "fileset",
"file", "root", "shroot", "prroot",
"category", "patch", "control_file"


Level rate is as depot --> bundle --> as in the level option.

Problem is because of sd level.

Hi Thanks for quick resonces..

We have install them as a bundle from other network machine.

PLs find attached index file from /var/adm/sw/products .

swlist -l patch | grep PHSS_20861 &
swlist -l product|grep PHSS_20861 does not display anything.
Thanks & Regards

HI

zen / 33 > usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state | grep PHSS_20861
# PHSS_20861
PHSS_20861.PHSS_20861 configured
zen / 34 > /usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state | grep PHSS_23796
# PHSS_23796
PHSS_23796.PHSS_23796 configured

Is This indicates the patches are installed ?

Thanks & Regards

Yes.

You will get configured state as, after getting installed.

10.20 swinstall man page says -->

By default, the software is configured for use on the
target after it is installed. (The software is not configured when
installed into an alternate root directory.)
