For those of you that are not familiar with Unix but have to work with it,
you might want to note that unix is case sensitive. What makes the commands
below case insensitive is the -i flag with grep. Also, as you can see from
output of the showrev command it shows you Suns patch number (not the
Veritas patch number). If you don't have a cross reference matrix (if there
is one) you can get more information in
/var/adm/patch/"patch_number"/README.patch_number. This typically lists
the major fix this patch is for and what files are included.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Finding NBU Patch Level if you OEM it From Sun
After a couple of days of hunting around, I finally got my answer from
Patrick Boyle. He suggested, and I agree, that I should post the commands
and the output for all on the list to see. Most hardcore Solaris SYSADMINs
will probably recognize this. I've only been doing this Sun stuff for a
short while. I should pay more attention in class.
Thanks to Patrick Boyle for his contribution.
Here's are the commands to issue on a Sun Solaris server to find out what
revision (patch) level NetBackup and Media Manager are at. I'll list the
command immediately followed by its expected output. Although the packages
(SUNWnetbp and SUNWmmgr) are shown with upper case letters, it really
doesn't matter in this case. You can use all lower case and get the same
results returned.
showrev -p |grep -i SUNWnetbp
Patch: 108261-05 Obsoletes: 108777-01 Requires: Incompatibles: Packages:
SUNWmmgr, SUNWnetbp
showrev -p |grep -i SUNWmmgr
Patch: 108261-05 Obsoletes: 108777-01 Requires: Incompatibles: Packages:
SUNWmmgr, SUNWnetbp
Hope this is useful to others.
Regards,
Dennis
