[pca] Generate List

[Gehring, Andrew]

I have two systems, that are identical in both hardware and software (Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC).

One is a test/development machine and the other is a production system.

Patches were applied, at sometime in the recent pass (Feb 10th if /var/sadm/patch is to be trusted, but I don’t ☺ ).

So, I’m trying to figure a good way of patching the production system to the same level as the test/development system…

Thanks!
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Can you give us a little more info?

Are both machines the same Solaris Update Release (i.e. cat /etc/release)?

Do you always save the backout data when applying a patches?
If so, then
# ls /var/sadm/patch
will show you all the patches which you have installed.

(The "problem" with 'showrev -p' or 'patchadd -p' is that it will also list any patches which are freshbitted into the Solaris image you have installed on your system, and so will not just identify all the patches which you have applied to the system manually. Then again this may not bother you...)

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, so it's hard to give you the correct advice here...

Best,
-Don

I’ve searched the archive, possibly using bad keywords…

However, I’m trying to find a way to generate a list of patches installed on a system, to use to patch another system so the they match “patch level”

Any help appreciated!
