cumulative patch kits

[Andrew S. Chipalyuk]

I am using OS Unix Tru64 5.1B.
The system was patching following:

T64V51BB26AS0005-20050502

I should like patching the system next cumulative patch kit:

T64V51BB26AS0005-20050502

Should I patch system previous patch kits like:
...
T64KIT0025601-V51BB26-E-20050513
T64KIT0026246-V51BB26-E-20050819
T64KIT0026391-V51BB26-E-20050908
T64KIT0026411-V51BB26-ES-20050912
T64KIT0026421-V51BB26-ES-20050913
T64KIT0026447-V51BB26-ES-20050914
T64KIT1000096-V51BB26-E-20051110
T64KIT1000108-V51BB26-E-20051116
T64KIT1000237-V51BB26-E-20051219
T64KIT1000295-V51BB26-E-20060112
T64KIT1000378-V51BB26-E-20060216
T64KIT1000381-V51BB26-ES-20060216
T64KIT1000414-V51BB26-E-20060222
...
etc before?

I can see that cumulative patch kits contain all patches that are currently available for distribution at the time the kit is released.

For example, i tried to find notice about patch T64KIT0025601-V51BB26-E-20050513 in the T64V51BB27AS0006-20061208.tar (./patch_kit/Tru64_UNIX_V5.1B/doc/txt/) and i find nothing.

This patch was about hang that may be seen by customers running vfast or defragment on an AdvFS domain, if the system is in a cluster.
It contained:
/sys/BINARY/advfs.mod
/usr/sys/kern/lockinfo.c
Sometimes a patch can be superseded by some newer patch that contains same modules.
So do not worry, just install next cumulative patch kit.

Sorry, the system next cumulative patch kit is

T64V51BB27AS0006-20061208

instead of

T64V51BB26AS0005-20050502!

As Vladimir mentioned, go ahead and install the latest cumulative patch kit.
