AIX installp software package management tool

The software can be installed in two states: applied and committed. The Applied Status stores the software of the previous version, which stores the previous version in the/usr/LPP/packagename directory. This method can be rolled back to the previous software version. The committed State deletes all previous versions stored in the/usr/LPP/packagename directory. We recommend that you use the applied status instead of committed when installing the new software package.

 

1. The software is in the applied status.

 

# Installp

 

-Avx-D/usr/Inst. Images bos.net

 

2. The software is in the committed status.

 

# Installp

 

-Acpx-D/usr/Inst. Images bos.net

 

Note: If you run two installp commands from the same installation media at the same time, an error will be prompted. In this case, you may need to use installp-C to clear the failed installation.

 

Also, the installation result is output to/var/adm/SW/installp. Summary. You can view this file to see which software packages are installed.

 

3. Submit (committing) a software upgrade package in the applied state

 

# Installp

 

-Cgx all

 

4. Cancel the applied status upgrade and return to the original version.

 

# Installp

 

-Rbfx./reject. List

 

5. Delete installed software

 

# Installp

 

-Ugp-V2 bos.net. IPSec. RTE

 

6. Clear after installation failure

 

# Installp

 

-C

 

7. list all installable software packages on the installation media

 

# Installp

 

-L-D/dev/cd0
