How to find version of Ignite

[Gerry Gerofsky]

How do I find the version of Ignite running on my server?

Is there some way to correlate the client version and server versions? which client can be served by which server?

swlist | grep -i ignite

Hi Gerry:

# what `whence ignite`

>swlist | grep -i ignite
Thanks. Sometimes one does not look in the obvious places.

On my client I see the following:
bash-3.2# swlist | grep -i ignite
IGNITE C.7.1.93 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-11 C.7.1.93 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.11 Systems

Do I need both the versions?

The OS running on the system:
bash-3.2# uname -a
HP-UX r23h01 B.11.11 U 9000/785 2000386692 unlimited-user license

># what `whence ignite
I don't have whence on my system. I guess it is not on by default
swlist | grep -i ignite works

They are both the exact same version, and most likely are both part of the standard Ignite/UX package.

What you get depends on what swlist switches you used. Have a look at the following, all done on the same machine:

# swlist |grep -i ignite
B5725AA C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-00 C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.00 Systems
Ignite-UX-11-11 C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.11 Systems
Ignite-UX-11-23 C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.23 Systems

# swlist -l bundle|grep -i ignite
B5725AA C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
Ignite-UX-11-00 C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.00 Systems
Ignite-UX-11-11 C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.11 Systems
Ignite-UX-11-23 C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities for Installing 11.23 Systems

# swlist -l product|grep -i ignite
Ignite-UX C.6.9.150 HP-UX System Installation Services

If you want a really long list of stuff do an 'swlist -l fileset | grep -i ignite'.

They are different versions. Your OK.

Hi (again) Gerry:

Your root POSIX shell most certainly has 'what' and 'whence'.

# what `whence ignite`

...or as some prefer:

# what $(whence ignite)

Regards!

I just saw my reply and I meant to say they are not different versions.
