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-c number Commit patches superseded at least number times.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 pro-

vides 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-d Remove patches in the speciﬁed software depot that have been superseded by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prerequisite attribute specifying one of the superseded patches as a depen-

dency 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not a requirement that superseded 11.X patches be removed from a software depot, but it is a recommen-

dation 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 If superseded patches exist in the same depot as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/save directory .

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.

AVAILABILITY

This command is standard on HP-UX 11i v3. On 11i v2 it is available in patch PHCO_32220 or a

superseding patch. On 11i v1 it is available in patch PHCO_27780 or a superseding patch.

Patches should only be committed when you are satisfied with their behavior. Recovering disk space should not be the only factor considered when committing patches.
