Creating a custom bundle
The following example shows how to create a custom bundle. Before you do so, for example, perform an assessment to determine which patches to add to the periodic patch depot /my_depots/periodic_depot/. For this example, the following patches will be added to the periodic patch depot:
•PHCO_24587
•PHCO_25130
•PHCO_28175
•PHCO_28830
Next, download the patches and create a temporary depot (/my_depots/temporary_depot/) containing the patches. Finally, perform the following steps to create a custom bundle containing these patches, and copy the bundle to a periodic patch depot. The name of the new bundle is PATCH_ASSESSMENT_05042005. Note that 05042005 represents the date on which the patch assessment was performed.
1.List the patches in the temporary depot /my_depots/temporary_depot/, which contains the patches identified by the patch assessment.
For example:
$ swlist
#Initializing...
#Contacting target "my_system"...
#Target: my_system:/my_depots/temporary_depot/
#
#No Bundle(s) on my_system:/my_depots/temporary_depot/
#Product(s):
#
PHCO_24587 | 1.0 | psrset(1M) man page patch | ||
PHCO_25130 | 1.0 | vPar | manpage cumulative | patch |
PHCO_28175 | 1.0 | vPar | commands man pages | patch |
PHCO_28830 | 1.0 | security(4) man page cumulative patch | ||
2.Create a bundle containing these four patches. The following command creates a bundle in the temporary depot named PATCH_ASSESSMENT_05042005 with a title of “May 04,
2005:
$ make_bundles
/my_depots/temporary_depot/
3.List the contents of the temporary depot. Note the presence of the newly created bundle. $ swlist
#Initializing...
#Contacting target "my_system"...
#Target: my_system:/my_depots/temporary_depot/
#
#Bundle(s):
