Re: Finding the kernel version
getconf KERNEL_BITS and it will return either 32 or 64.

SolutionThe answer in my opinion is there is no kernel versioning number system in HP-UX. Perhaps you are looking for something akin to Linux which has a nice easy to understand numbering system.
There is the kernel that ships with the OS and then what we sysadmins have to do to it. We have to patch it, we have to tune it, and what you end up with is quite unique, defying any numbering system.

Re: Finding the kernel version
I wanted the kernel version, not installed patches. If this is present in the output from "what /stand/vmunix", could you please tell me how to interpret it.
Thanks and regards

Re: Finding the kernel version
swlist -l bundle
but any individual patch can change the kernel and thus make the bundle revision somewhat out of date. If the kernel is always patched with the SupportPlus patch bundles, then the HWE and QPK revisions are representative of the kernel's version.

Re: Finding the kernel version
You know from the uname that it's 11.11
as for the version you can only know the patch
level (pathces version for kernel)
what /stand/vmunix
shows the all patches that is with kernel.

Re: Finding the kernel version
Thanks Steven and Bill for the information. I think that for now I'll do with uname -r.
Thanks and regards

Re: Finding the kernel version
Is the information returned by swlist -l bundle the same as the "Service Pack" equivalent for HP-UX?
Thanks and regards

Re: Finding the kernel version
Yes, you could liken the "bundle" to a "service pack". However, please reread Bill Hassell's comments above. Too, it is quite usual to install a SupportPlus bundles, such as the Qualtity Pack (QPK) for 11.0 and *exclude* selected patches because of last minute warning issued against them. The 'swlist -l bundle' still shows the description for the bundle as originally created by HP despite that fact that it is now only a subset.

Re: Finding the kernel version
I am trying to determine the OS patches programmatically, however, swlist shows all patches. Is there some way to figure out which of these are OS specific patches?
Thanks and regards

Re: Finding the kernel version
Patches can be categorized as follows:
"PHKL" = Kernel fileset patches
"PHNE" = Network fileset patches
"PHCO" = Command fileset patches
"PHSS" = SubSystem fileset patches

So the answer is not simple at all for HP-UX.
