Here's the command to remove a patch from the Solaris operating system. In the last post, I installed the Sun XVR-100 graphics accelerator patch. For illustration purposes, I'm going to remove it.
#patchrm 114537-40
Check for 114537-40 and it should not be detected
#showrev -p | grep 114537-40
or
#patchadd -p | grep 114537-40

I am trying to find a good way to determine which patch cluster is installed on a Solaris 10 system. Although I can use showrev -p, and get individual patch information, I can't find a quick, easy or consistent way to determine which cluster was last installed. I'd love some help, if anyone has input.
Marie,
Are you looking for uname -a?
It gives you Generic_xxxxxx-xx (kernelID) which is the patch number (6 digits) followed by the patch revision number (2 digits)
showrev -a gives other good info
