removing patch cluster 2

[sm42]

Installing/removing cluster patch (downloaded from sunsolve).

When installing a cluster patch I type:
#install_cluster

If I want to remove the entire patch cluster do I need to remove each patch individually?

what can we do with:

Patch 116807-01 was installed without backing up the original files.
It cannot be backed out.

From docs.sun.com:

Either the -d option of patchadd was set when the patch was applied, or the save area of the patch was deleted to regain space. As a result, the original files are not saved and patchrm cannot be used. The original files can only be recovered from the original installation CD.

It might also be the first revision since it is 116807-01, or it made another patch obsolete. I do not believe the install_cluster script users -d. I would not worry about it to much, unless it is the cause of your problem. If so then you will probably have to hit some back up tapes.
