Verifying System Install or Update
Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches
Chapter 7122
WARNING This problem only exists when an active patch is removed
and rolled back to a superseded patch left in an “installed”
state. Executing swconfig on a patch in the “superseded”
patch state is dangerous; do not do it.
3. Use the following options to list active products, patches, and states:
swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state
The previous swlist options will display all active (non-superseded)
filesets with their “SD software state” and “patch state” attributes.
You can chan ge swlist to display superseded patches by adding the
following line to the /var/adm/sw/defaults file:
swlist.show_superseded_patches=true
or you can use the following command to display superseded patches:
swlist -l fileset -a state -a patch_state -x \
swlist.show_superseded_patches=true
TIP For help with these commands, see the Software Distributor
Administration Guide, which is available on the Instant Information
DVD and on the web:
