HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-2 and Higher Patch Kit Installation Instructions (March 2009)
If you also need to reverse the version switch as described in “Run Mandatory Script Before
Removing New Style Patch Kits”, run the /etc/dn_fix_dat.sh script after step 5 in that
process.
Running dupatch to Remove Patches
The process for removing patches is similar to the one for installing them.
The following steps describe the patch removal process for an Inclusive Patch Kit with the system
running in single-user mode. In mutiuser mode the steps would be the same except you would
see the multi-user deletion warning described in “Overview”.
See “Installing Patches from Single-User Mode” for the steps on bringing down your system to
single-user mode.
1. Run dupatch and select 2 for patch removal:
