Howt check HP-UX release

[Stijn V]

Hi,

I am migrating some HP Integrity VM to a new version (from 3.5 to 4.0), however a prerequisite is that the Guest OS is at least:

HP-UX v2 must be 0609 sep 2006
HP-UX v3 must be 0703 mar 2007

But how can I check that? And how to solve if not ok?

I guess that I have to check the QPKBASE bundle, but what if there isn't one installed yet?

Thanks,
-Stijn-

Hi Stijn,

You can get the details in swlist -l bundle output.

# swlist -l bundle

HPUX11i-OE B.11.11.0406 HP-UX 11i Operating Environment Component

I do receive the following:

HPUX11i-OE-Ent B.11.31 HP-UX Enterprise Operating Environment

Hi,

from google-search in itrc:

How to solve:
Just install the necessary (or latest) bundles.
Download QPKBASE bundle from SUM site:

Ok thanks, but I still don't know how to check the version ...

[Jeeshan]

uname -a

Check the installed products - see 'man swlist' and see the posted thread.
Or use 'uname -a'

#uname -r
gives the version.

#uname -a
gives detailed description.

#model
hardware description.

#machinfo
detailed report of hardware & etc....

Because you need to re-install the VMHost, you won't have a problem with this part.

Regarding the guests, this is what the manual says:

"4.1 Installing the HP-UX Guest Operating System

You can install following versions of HP-UX on a virtual machine:
â ¢ HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 or later
â ¢ HP-UX 11i v3
..."

How to check the version of the core?

Example:

# swlist | grep OE
...
HPUX11i-DC-OE B.11.31.0809 HP-UX Data Center Operating Environment

(0809 = september 2008)

my older box:

# swlist | grep OE
HPUX11i-TCOE B.11.11.0509 HP-UX Technical Computing OE Component


(0509 = september 2005)
