Hi,

Installing a patch using swinstall proceed with followsing :
1)Copy the patch to /tmp directory
2)Run backup of the operating system with single user mode or Using
make_recovery command prepare a tape even while the users using the system.
3)run swinstall
4)using action mark the patches to be installed.
5)Analyze the patch if it is ok
6)Install the patch

I hope this will help

Best Regards

Ahmed

Not quite sure what you're asking here.

First, check to see if the patch is already installed using: swlist -l fileset
-a state | grep

You can reinstall a patch if you want to using the reinstall_files=true option
from the command line or the Options Menu via swinstall...otherwise, it is not
needed. See "man swinstall" for more details.
