Removing a Solaris Patch Cluster

by  coffeysm  Posted    (Edited  )
Figured this would be usefule for people that are new.

Uninstalling a patch cluster is pretty simple if you used the install_cluster script. Perform these steps to get your system back to previous status. Pretty much reverses the patch_order file and loops through it.

[color red]*Note: Keep in mind sometimes this is not a full-proof solution you might have to hit the backup tapes also.[/color]

Copy and Paste Below

Code: 
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin ; export PATH
#
# Change this to where your patches are located
#
cd /your/patchpath
#
# Reverse the order of the patch_order file 
#
tail -r patch_order > remove_order
#
# Loop through and remove each patch listed
#
for PATCH in `cat reverse_order`
  do
       patchrm ${PATCH}
   done
#
# Reboot
#
init 6
# END
