Your best option is to try and remove the patch(es) and re-install them. I would not try to attempt to run 'swconfig' on the corrupt patch at all.

Make sure that you have an ignite tape prior to starting.

corrupt state on software's are occured by getting signals to stop the action of configuration or installation.

Did you get any messages on corruption of software configuration?


You can use swconfig to reconfigure the softwares. Use enforce_scripts=true and reconfigure=true option on swconfig.

More information for the corrupt state are given in swconfig man page over signals section

Hi,

If you have corrupt filesets, then you can first remove them using swmodify with "-u" option. check the swmodify man page.

Once the corrupt filesets are removed, you can install them again. You can then run swconfig for other filesets which are in "installed" state.

Usually you need to check the swagent.log to determine why those filesets went to "corrupt" state. This can be due to improper dependency, improper closing during fileset installation.

Do not run swconfig for corrupt fileset without understanding why it became corrupt. swremove may not help in removing them either.

Hope this helps.

With regards,
Mohan.
