NAME
cleanup - HP-UX patch cleanup utility
SYNOPSIS
cleanup [-n|-p] -c number
cleanup [-n|-p] -d
depot [-o {10|11}] [-e {true|false}]
cleanup [-n|-p] -i
cleanup
[-n|-p] -s
DESCRIPTION
The cleanup command provides functions useful when dealing with HP-UX patches on HP-UX.
The cleanup command logs all information to
/var/adm/cleanup.log
.
Options
cleanup recognizes the following options:
-p Preview the cleanup task but do not actually perform the requested action.
-n Notify the user of cleanup tasks and request confirmation before performing
the requested action.
-c number Commit patches superseded at least number times. This option is a front-end to
the patch_commit option of swmodify (see swmodify(1M)) that provides an
easier interface to commit multiple patches at once.
-d Remove patches in the specified software depot that have been superseded by
patches also available from the depot.
-o {10|11} Specifies whether the software depot contains patches for HP-UX 10.X or 11.X
releases. This option is only valid with the -d option. If the -o option is not
specified, it defaults to HP-UX 11.X patches.
-e {true|false} Specifies whether patches in the software depot that contain a corequisite or
prerequisite attribute specifying one of the superseded patches as a dependency
should also be removed. This option is valid only with the -d option. If the
-e
option is not specified, it defaults to true.
-i Remove HP-UX 10.X patches that remain in the Installed Product Database
after an upgrade to HP-UX 11.X. These patches are removed from the IPD so
that they are no longer displayed in the output of the
swlist command (see
swlist(1M)). The HP-UX 10.X patch files are also removed from
/var/adm/sw/patch
.
-s Correct the patch_state attribute for HP-UX 11.X patches.
Recommendations
The cleanup -i command should be executed after updating to HP-UX 11.X from HP-UX 10.20. It is
not necessary to execute cleanup -i after updating from one version of HP-UX 11.X software to another
because SD-UX will properly remove 11.X patch information from the IPD in these situations.
The cleanup -d command should be executed whenever patches are added to a software depot. It is not
a requirement that superseded 11.X patches be removed from a software depot, but it is a recommendation
to conserve disk space and to avoid confusion. If superseded patches exist in the same depot as patches
that supersede them, SD-UX on HP-UX 11.X will handle the situation properly.
The cleanup -c command can be executed to commit all patches that have been superseded at least the
specified number of times. The only benefit from committing patches is that disk space will be recovered in
the /var/adm/sw/savedirectory.
The cleanup -s command can be executed to insure that the patch_state attribute of all patch
filesets is set correctly. There are several known situations where the patch_state attribute will be set
incorrectly. This command can be run at any time, but will be most useful after a system has been
installed using Ignite-UX.
WARNING
Extreme care should be used when committing patches. Once a patch has been committed, it cannot be
removed from the system. Patches should only be committed when you are satisfied with their behavior.
