Removing everything under: /var/adm/sw/save

Hi,

Can we remove all the patches saved under the above said folder ?? Will it cause any problems ??

Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh.K.R.

NO,

you will remove the patch administration ability if you remove /var/adm/sw/save

Use the cleanup command.

# cleanup -c1 -p ( look if there are superseeded patches)
# cleanup -c1

Also you will not be able to roll-back if you wanted to uninstall some patches if you remove this folder.

Do not do anything in that dir to get some space other than using the cleanup command.

#cleanup -c 1
committing patches superseded more than once.

Hi,

You can also cleanup by commiting patches like this:

/var/adm/sw/save # swmodify -x patch_commit=true *
