Also find the Patch bundle overview @

Hi:

For the base operating system version as originally installed, do:

# swlist -l bundle HPUXBaseAux

You will see something like:

HPUXBaseAux B.11.23.0712 HP-UX Base OS Auxiliary

The date string is "0712" which is in YYMM format, so this one is December 2007.

For the latest applied patches, assuming you use the standard bundles (you should):

# swlist |grep -Ei "qpk|gold"

...which on an 11.11 server might show:

GOLDAPPS11i B.11.11.0712.475 Applications Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, December 2007
GOLDBASE11i B.11.11.0712.475 Base Patches for HP-UX 11i v1, December 2007

...and on an 11.23 server:

QPKAPPS B.11.23.0806.072 Applications Patches for HP-UX 11i v2, June 2008 QPKBASE B.11.23.0806.072 Base Quality Pack Bundle for HP-UX 11i v2, June 2008

Hi (again):

> I didn't get the answer of my question. In AIX there is technology level. So if we are at TL 4 means we are at patch level 4 for the system. Is there any way by which I can find at which patch level my system is.

I meant to add that AIX marks things differently --- as TL or formerly ML such that a simple 'oslevel -r' returns a simple string that gives you the a simple marker point.

My answer above is about the closest analogous answer, I believe.

Regards!
