Hi,

The best way is to use the interactive
'swremove' program. You can select the
patches you wish to remove whether they
are in a patch bundle or not. Typical
patch bundles names are XSWGR1100 for
HPUX 11 or XSWGR1020 for HPUX10.20
Use the actions pulldown menu, mark them
and run the remove analysis phase. This
will give you all the information you will
need to remove the patch.

Please remember to generate an ignite tape
before removing/installing any patch.

# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Hi,

I should have asked this as well. What patch(es) out of what fileset(s) are you trying to remove ?

The analysis phase will tell you what will happen before the program will remove anything. look for any errors and dependencies before going further.

I'm removing 10.x patch named PH12555.
Thanks.

Hi,

The patch you've quoted PHCO_12555 (if that's
right) is from an HPUX 11 system.

# swlist -l fileset | grep 12555
# PHCO_12555 1.0 ioinit patch
PHCO_12555.UX-CORE 1.0 OS-Core.UX-CORE

Seeing that this patch is part of the CORE
why would you wish to remove it?
