swremove (PHKL_..)without reboot and right after swinstall(PHKL...) How does ist go ?

[Uwe Herrmann]

Hello all,
we have some problems with a patch PHKL_25525. Swlist -a state says installed but is is already configured, so we will remove the patch and install right after the patch PHKL_26800.
How can we do this in one step, with only one kernel build and reboot ?

Hi:

Since PHKL_26800 supersedes PHKL_25525, I'd simply install PHKL_26800.

Hi,

I would also suggest to install a superseeding patch.
However, you can also specify "swremove -x auto_kernel_build=false". This option specifies whether the removal of a kernel fileset should rebuild the kernel or not. If the auto_kernel_build option is set to true, the autoreboot option must also be set to true. If the auto_kernel_build option is set to false the value of the autoreboot option does not matter. The option applies only to swremove.

Regards,
Mateja

Hello all,

we fixed it with an swmodify -u PHKL_25525.\* PHKL_25525

The reason was, that after installation of PHKL_25906 and or PHKL_26800, the check_patches and swverify "ERROR" messages still remain.
Now check_patches and swlist -l fileset -a state |grep install works fine.
