How to Get a List of Operating System Patches Installed on Your Computer
To determine which patches are installed on your computer:
Run the showrev
command with the -p
option. The following command saves the sorted output to a file called patchList
.
prompt> showrev -p | sort > patchList
Open the file in a text editor, such as vi or emacs, and search for patch numbers.
To check if a particular patch is installed on your computer, use the following command:
# /usr/sbin/patchadd -p | grep patch_number
If an operating system patch is not installed, then download it from the following Web site and install it:
How the Installer Checks for Operating System Patches
The installer searches for the required patch versions on your computer. If it does not find an exact match, it displays a warning message in the shell where you started the installer.
prompt> mount_point/runInstaller ... ... installer performs prerequisite checks here ... ... Some optional pre-requisite checks have failed. Continue? (y/n) [n] n
The installer gives you a choice to exit or continue.
Type n to exit the installer if you do not have all the patches. You should download and install the patches.
Type y to continue only if you are sure all the required patches are installed.
