Patch remove

[Carter Jay]

Hello,

What's this patch that can't be removed and is logged in my /etc/rc.log. I had this error after installing a bundle for PHCO_25424:

Configuring all unconfigured software filesets
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S120swconfig start":
----------------------------
* Removing the following software:
Obsolete.NCSNCK,l=/,r=B.11.00,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64

WARNING: The remove process from "swconfig" did not succeed.
Some or all of the software listed in "/var/adm/sw/needs_remove"
must be removed manually.

And how can I remove it manually, or fix the problem.
Thanks in advance

Regards

Jerome

Have you checked what is in the file "/var/adm/sw/needs_remove"? It may contain the patch that needs removing. Also check the details of patch PHCO_25875.

Otherwise, it should just be using swremove.

Cheers!

Hi,

in the file "/var/adm/sw/needs_remove, i've just got the line:

Obsolete.NCSNCK,l=/,r=B.11.00,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64

And when i list all my applications, I can't find any file with this name.
What is strange is that i've got a Memory fault(coredump) when i launch the last command.

Another thing is strange:
Enable auxiliary swap space
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S500swap_start start":
----------------------------
Enabling device paging on /dev/vg00/lvol9.
Enabling device paging on /dev/vg00/lvol2.
/usr/sbin/swapon: /dev/vg00/lvol2 is already enabled for paging.
Warning: swapon returned exit code: 1
"/sbin/rc1.d/S500swap_start start" FAILED

Got any idea??

As an answer to your swap message; do you have lvol2/swap in your fstab? If so remove it as it's started before fstab is read.

Hi trond,

I've got:
/dev/vg00/lvol9 ... swap pri=1 0 0
/dev/vg00/lvol2 ... swap pri=0 0 2

in my fstab file

I must remove second line?

Regards

Hi Jerome:

Yes, primary swap (/dev/vg00/lvol2) is enabled for swap during startup. Adding it to '/etc/fstab' causes an attempt to activate it twice -- an error as you have seen. Remove the primary swap device from 'etc/fstab'.

Regards!
