A question about patch level.

Brian Jarmy — Wed, 24 Jan 2001 23:30:40 GMT

Hello all, I need to find out which patches have been applied to my HP-UX system.

Can anyone tell me the command I can type in to find out which patches have been applied?

A simple uname -a only gives me the operating system level. I've seen the patch list (on this site) that corresponds to my OS level (B.11.00), but I need to find out if I have any others applied.

Also, I need to find out what version of the aCC compiler I have installed. Any help in that area would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sorry this is long winded, thanks for your time.

Brian

To list all software product install,

# swlist -l product

To file the version of C, either

# swlist -l fileset |grep -i ansi

or

# what /usr/bin/cc

Hi,

Since you are running 11.00, you can issue swlist -l patch to get a list of all installed patches. Unfortunately, HP-UX's uname -a does not show a "patch-level" like Solaris, etc, does.

On HPUX 11.0 install patch PHCO_22044 and use the commands show_patches and check_patches see the man pages for these commands. These commands can show you which patches are realy active and which ones are superseded !!!

To see if a high level patch bundle has been installed (which is what the majority of HP servers have) do;

swlist -l bundle | grep XSW

And you should see a bundle similar to;

XSWGR1100 B.11.00.50.5 HP-UX General Release Patches, September 2000

So you have the date there also. If nothing shows up here then to see all the patches installed do;

swlist -l fileset | grep PH

If you do swlist -l patch it shows not only patches but any filesets not in a bundle (eg. gnu stuff etc.)

Or to be sure cd to /var/adm/sw/products and do an ls, all files in uppercase PHxx_xxxx are installed patches.
