Chapter 17 System Management 349
The following procedure assume that you are using the system patch command.
To apply a patch, follow this procedure:
1. Get the appropriate patch from Oracle.
2. Issue the system patch command.
For example:
The system patch command copies the named patch file, and installs the patch
to the appropriate part of the Oracle Fabric Interconnect file system.
3. Issue the system show patches command to verify that the patch was
successfully installed.
▼ Remove a Patch
1. Determine which method to use to unpatch the Oracle Fabric Interconnect:
■ Use the system unpatch command.
The system unpatch command removes a specified patch. When the patch is
removed, any hot fix is no longer available and the Oracle Fabric Interconnect
will return to its original configuration before the patch was applied.
You do not need to unpatch the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to apply new
patches, unless directed to do so by Oracle. Also, there is no need to reboot I/O
Modules or the Oracle Fabric Interconnect after unpatching.
When you run the system unpatch command, you must specify the name of
the patch that you want to undo.
■ Upgrade back to the current version without installing the patch.
The system upgrade command can be used to remove a specified patch. To
remove the patch you will upgrade to the existing configuration but without
the patch. For example, if you have upgraded to XgOS 3.6.0, then applied a
patch, you can simply re-run the upgrade again to return to the baseline
version of XgOS 3.6.0 without the patch you applied.
To upgrade to a previous unpatched version of software, follow this procedure:
2. To unpatch the system:
a. Issue the show system status command or the show system patches
command to identify the patch that you want to remove.
