how to find the version of hpux

[bhavin asokan]

hi,

how to find the version of hpux.
in 'uname -a' it is giving B.11.11 U
in swlist OE is given as B.11.11.0203 & on another system B.11.11.0303 what it means

how naming is done for 11i v1
eg: for 11i is 11.11
for 11i v6 is 11.22

11.11 U means unlimited user license
11.11.0203 are the patch bundles revision, so in your case it is March 02 and March03

11i version 1 is for PA-RISC
11i version 1.6 is for itanium

hai,

We can get the hp-ux version with uname -v command. swlist will show the version of the sw package. It will be written with some version number as suffix to the hp-ux version.

11.11,11.22 etc are hp-ux releases. To know that use uname -r

Check the online document to know about the 11 versioning.

Same question at patches category too. http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=637083

We can know 11i or 11iv1 or 11iv2 etc using our uname -r output.

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®


I am not known about the creation mirror-ux with different versions. I guess we have to have same platfrom do it generally.

The easiest way for us to help is to find out what model system you have. This is done using the model command. We can then determine what media is required. There are not that many systems around that run 11.20 (11i vers 1.5) and 11.22 (11i vers 1.6)

# model

We could always use the 'getconf' command, but the model should be enough. Chances are you have a typical 11i box using 11.11

Technically there is no version that is just 11i. 11iv1 is version 11.11. However, most of the time when people say HP-UX 11i, they are talking about HP-UX 11.11.

Your 11i Mirror Disk should work. swinstall will inform you if it will not work.
