sw question

[navin]

Is there a way to find out if the particular individual patch is part of the hpux std patch bundles.
thanks much

You can check with -v switch what is the install source of the installed patch:

#swlist -v patch_name

If the patch is not part of the latest bundle, it will be included in next release.

Hi Navin:

Absolutely. Go the the ITRC Patch Database. Select the standard bundle in question (under find statndard patch bundles) and click on the bundle name. For example, QPK1123(B.11.23.0806.072).

When you do this, you will see the contents and be able to read the patch notes for every patch therein.

Regards!

What about:
swlist -v -l patch patch_name

... or maybe

# swlist -l product | grep PATCH_NAME

Regards!

Actually, the simplest method is:

swlist -l patch

grep is not needed.

>I see a patch in /var/adm/sw/products. But which is not listed when I do swlist

This occurs if the patch has been superseded. So if you don't see it with:
swlist -l patch patch_ID
You'll need to use:
swlist -l patch -x show_superseded_patches=true patch_ID

You can leave out patch_ID (or add more than one).
