how to check the patch level

[Hanry Zhou]

We need to check and keep a certain level of patches, ex, Dec, 2001. But how to check the patch level on a system(10.20 or 11i)

Thanks,
Hanry

Hi Hanry,

You could use

swlist | grep -i -e hwe -e gold -e qpk

Pete,

Why I see different output from yours?

swlist -l bundle | grep -i patch
BUNDLE11i B.11.11.0102.2 Required Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i, February 2001
HWEnable11i B.11.11.0206.5 Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11i, June 2002

Hanry,

HP has changed the names of the bundles over the years. Current bundles, I think, are now named GOLDsomething. They used to be called HWE, for hardware enablement, QPK for quality pack, and the like.

That's why Pete's response is better than mine - the string patch is likely to remain - the titles probably won't.

Cheers,
