How to Back Out a Patch from the OS Server's Patch Spool Directory

1. Make sure you have your PATH environment variable updated to include /opt/SUNWadm/2.3/bin. For details, refer to the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 Installation and Release Notes.

2. Log in to the OS server and become root.

3. Back out patches to the default spool directory with this command:

   # admclientpatch -r patch_id

   In this command,

   patch_id

   Is a specific patch ID number, as in 102209-01.

   This completes the procedure for backing out a patch from the default spool directory on the OS server.

Verification of Backing Out Patches from a Patch Spool Directory

To verify the selected patches have been backed out from the default patch spool directory for the Solstice AutoClient product, use the admclientpatch -p command to see the list of currently spooled patches.
