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
