Rejecting a service update
When you reject an applied service update, the update files are removed from the system and the previous version of the software is restored.
Only service updates in the applied state can be rejected. You can use SMIT to reject applied service updates.
- Rejecting a service update using SMIT:
- Type smit reject on the command line.
- Rejecting a service update from the command line:
- Use the
installp -rcommand to reject an applied update.
Attention: After the reject
completes, if the system log files show the following message, indicating
that a reboot is required, perform the reboot as soon as possible:
* * * A T T E N T I O N * * *
System boot image has been updated. You should reboot the
system as soon as possible to properly integrate the changes
and to avoid disruption of current functionality.
