Re: How To Determine the Release Date of HP-UX Media
As 11.31 was released in February or March 2007 you won't see a date that far back.
The DVD themselves have a date stamped on them. Isn't that enough?
swlist -l product
The release date of the Core OS will be listed in mmyy or yymm format.

Re: How To Determine the Release Date of HP-UX Media
If you happen to know of a specific OS file that is part of each and only one release from date to date you may be able to find that in the flist file located under the specific Ignite client directory.
Now if you want to add some info like this when you create each archive then you could simply create a txt file in each client directory, or create a spreadsheet, or .....

Re: How To Determine the Release Date of HP-UX Media
Yes the OS information is in the archive. To access it you would need to restore it to a system and run the command from my first post.

Re: How To Determine the Release Date of HP-UX Media
I believe the Ignite archives are relative, restore as Torsten advised but to a temp directory.

Re: How To Determine the Release Date of HP-UX Media
You could restore this to an alternate root and use the following to list it:
swlist @ abs-path-to-alternate_root
>Torsten: Extract a directory listing from the archive about this directory:
If you weren't worried about restoring 100s of Mb, you could just use my swlist example above:
swlist -l product @ /var/tmp/ITRC_ALTroot
swlist -l bundle -a revision @ /var/tmp/ITRC_ALTroot
>Tim: Beware that if you extract the /var/adm/sw directory to an active system it will overwrite your current systems products.
Right.
>I believe the Ignite archives are relative
Even if they weren't, pax(1) can change the path.
