If your operating system requires patches, install them before you install OpenSwitch components. To determine which patches have been installed on your system, see “Viewing installed patches”.
Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version
suggested for your operating system. If a patch has been superseded
by a new patch, use the most recent one. See the release bulletin
for your platform the latest information about required system patches.
Use these commands to find out which patches are installed on your system:
On HP-UX:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product | fgrep PH
On IBM AIX:
/usr/bin/lslpp -h
On Linux and Linux on POWER:
/bin/rpm -q -a
On Sun Solaris:
/usr/bin/showrev -p
