Hi -
I just tried installing patch kit #4. There are 68 subsets included in this
kit. dupatch crashed on subset # 65 because LMF stopped in the middle of
copying this subset. I may have accidentally run the wrong dupatch (I may
have run /usr/sbin/dupatch and not the one supplied with kit 4 though I
thought I had typed in the full, correct path). I then re-ran dupatch (the
correct one -- I'm sure) and it copied and configured the final 4 (#s 65 -
68) subsets. However, I didn't see any message saying the it was
configuring #s 1- 64. I then issued a setld -i|grep OSFPAT. Judging by the
output it looks like all the patches in this kit have been successfully
installed.
My question is this: if setld says a patch has been installed and I
determine that all the subsets of this patch kit are listed as 'installed'
then am I safe for this kit OR would I be better off uninstalling all the
patches and reinstalling? This machine isn't live yet -- we're supposed to
bring it online this Saturday -- so I can do whatever is necessary to make
this right. Once it's live it's much more difficult to straighten out any
problems.
Many, many thanks!!!
