Last patch updated

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi All,

I am using HPUX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11 and Linux (Suse 9 & 10) & (redhat 4).

I want to see the last patch updated and when it was updated for all above mentioned OS.

Hi,

Use the below command to list the installed bundle..

#swlist -l bundle

Then use this command to find the date the bundle was installed..

#swlist -l bundle -a date

Example:

#swlist -l bundle -a date HWEnable11i

Hi Senthil:

For current HP-UX releases (at least; and 10.20 and 11.0 are long out of support) you could do:

# swlist -l product -a install_date|sort -knr2

...to list patches and products with their installation timestamp.

As for Linux distributions, you should ask that in a separate thread in the Linux family, in my opinion.

Regards!

Or even something as simple as

grep PH /var/adm/sw/swagent.log |tail

hi,

If you are using HP-UX 10.x, you can
use following command.
swlist -l product PH*
On HP-UX 11.00, use:
swlist -l patch '*.*,c=patch'
or
swlist -l patch

For latest/last patch u can edit these with above replies....

Not a lot of help for the 10.20 box, but if you install SWA onto one of the 11.11 boxes (https://www.hp.com/go/swa) you can analyze all of the 11.00 and 11.11 systems to see what updates they need. The basic report is generated using:

# swa report

The SWA page above will include links towards documentation. I would recommend building depots for all 11.00 and 11.11 patches. The basic form of that command is:

# swa get -t /your/depot/here

Hi Senthil

Swlist is your friend here :-)

swlist -l product -a install_date

Shalom,

Linux does not list patches like HP, with the PH designation.

rpm -qa

Lists all installed software on the Linux distributions you list. My Suse experience is very, very limited.

What happens with Linux is:

You have

krb5-workstation-1.6.1-31.el5_3.3

installed.

You do a yum -y update (RHEL) and after a newer, more updated package is installed.

To get full benefit you need to reboot but that will apparently change with the next major kernel release.

This system has been updated but not booted, note the kernel version:
Linux bersheva.investmenttool.com 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plusxen #1 SMP Mon May 11 08:30:44 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

This system has been updated and booted.
[root@modiin ~]# uname -a
Linux modiin.investmenttool.com 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Jun 30 07:20:15 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


The newer kernel includes patches. For RHEL, you need to refer to their website or the documentation included as a file with the kernel to get the details.

Hello Senthil,

For SuSE to check the Service Pack level:

cat /etc/SuSE-release
SPident -vv

Cheers!!
