Hi all. We're taking a look at what the "security_patch_check" scripts can offer us and I'm looking for some clarification on some output that I'm getting from my report generated via cron. It looks as follows:
WARNING: PH??_?????. has a state of installed. The state should be "configured" or "available" (see swconfig or reinstall and configure PH??_?????.).
I've read through all the man pages and the 11.00 Patch White Paper again, and don't see anything wrong.
When I check the status of the installed file set or patch via 'swlist -l patch -a patch_state PH??_?????' it tells me that the patch or file set it 'applied'. This is in accordance to the white paper. It is not superseeded nor can I detect any other problem. This script will report pages of these messages for various patches or file sets. I sumize that the 'security_patch_check' script is just mistaken. But why would it be reporting this as a WARNING?
