How to find the HP-Unix Version number. Please suggest.

[GnanaShekar]

Hi,

In redhat and solaris we have a /etc/redhat-release and /etc/release file respectively to find out the operating version and update numbers.

Is there a similar file in HP-Unix that has the OS version and update numbers.

Please suggest how to find the HP-Unix version and update numbers.

Thanks & Regards,

u can try
#uname -a
this will show the HPUX version details.

Hi...

Display the file /etc/versions/OS and look for the line beginning with the word VERSION.

Hi,

#uname -a
will give you the basic version detail, like 11.23 etc,

If you need to know which the Environment of HPUX bunble installed in the system, ie... Mission Critical or Technical Computing or so

run

#swlist -l bundle | grep HPUX

Siva.

Hi GnanaShekar,

Each HP-UX 11i release has an associated release name and release identifier. Use the uname -r command to see which release is running on a system. The following table lists the HP-UX 11i releases:
Table 2 HP-UX 11i Releases

Release Identifier Release Name Supported Processor Architecture
------------------ --------------------- --------------------------------
B.11.11 HP-UX 11i version 1 PA-RISC

B.11.20 HP-UX 11i version 1.5 Intel Itanium

B.11.22 HP-UX 11i version 1.6 Intel Itanium

B.11.23 HP-UX 11i version 2 Intel Itanium


IA

s..
#uname -a is the answer.

But some time before, i used to give
#man man (or any man page)
that will give man pages for the "man"...at each page there will be hpux version number....
like
-----------------------
Hewlett-Packard Company - 7 - HP-UX Release 11i: November 2000
-----------------------

Hi,

# swlist | grep BUNDLE
If this display Sep 2004 Bundle then it is 11.23 v2 Update 1. This is the one which works on both IA and PA.

Latest one released is May2005 BUNDLE.

Prior to Sep 2004 bundle in 11.23 were only compatible with IA systems.

# uname -a

If this display 11.11 then it is HPUX version 11iv1.

Intermediate version like 11iv1.5, 11.v1.6, 11iv2 (except Sep2004 onwards) were only meant to work on IA systems.

Hope that helps.

Hi GnanaShekar,

Use the command :

# uname -r

since option 'r' gives you the current release level of the operating system.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

# sam --> performance monitor -> system properties

# print_manifest

# machinfo (11.23 os)

hi,

Note that the output of uname -a can be interpreted as follows:


#uname -a

HP-UX ydsvr B.11.11 U 9000/800 541706567 unlimited-user license

The displayed fields are interpreted as follows:

HP-UX The operating system name (option -s).

ydsvr The UUCP network system name by which the system is known (-n).

B.11.11 The operating system release identifier (-r).

C The operating system version identifier (-v).

9000/800 The machine and model numbers (-m).

2015986034 The machine identification number (-i).

unlimited-user license The operating system license level (-l).


hope this helps too!

kind regards
