What Happens When You Add a Patch With the admclientpatch -a Command

The admclientpatch -a command copies patch files from the patch directory to a spool directory on the local system. The spool directory is /opt/SUNWadmd/2.3/Patches. If the patch being added to the spool directory makes any existing patches obsolete, admclientpatch archives the old patches in case they need to be restored.
