HP-UX Complete details

[Amit Dixit_2]

Hi,
I will be reinstalling the O.S. on one of
the server's I am having, before going for
the installation please tell me how can i
collect all the details related to installed
s/w and patches on the current system.

Apart from print_manifest and swlist.

How to list all the patches.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit

The swlist command does display all system patches

swlist -l patch -a state
show_patches
swlist -a revision

DOn't forget that anything that was installed that did not go through 'swinstall' will not be registered as far as the OS is concerned. You'd have to scour directories to find them. If you have external LUN's you can do a 'vgexport' iin preview mode to get the mapfiles for usage later.

# swlist -l product | more
# swlist -l fileset -a state | more

IF your system is hpux11i use this command.
# show_patches > patchlist.txt
# vi patchlist.txt
this command will be show you already install patch list.

Another thing to do is to gather system information with something like sysinfo (see attached).

I run that from cron on all my HP servers every month:

# Run the sysinfo3.01 script
0 6 1 * * /usr/local/sysinfo/sysinfo -a -b -o /usr/tmp/`hostname`.sysinfo >/tmp/sysinfo.cron 2>&1


Patches: /usr/contrib/bin/show_patches
