Installing patches from a depot

To install patches from a directory or tape depot, use the swinstall command.

•For additional information about the swinstall command, see the swinstall(1M) manpage and the Software Distributor Administration Guide on the HP Business Support Center website at http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs.

•For more information about installing patches, see Chapter 2: “Quick start guide for patching HP-UX systems” (page 9).

When you run the swinstall command, the output tells you the success or failure of the command and how to get additional information. Prior to actually installing patches, you should run the swinstall command in preview mode by including the -pargument.
