Is HPApache Server Patch installed alongwith HPUX OS???

[Purusa]

Hi,

I had upgraded my workstation from HPUX June 2001 OS to HPUX March 2003 OS. Also I installed new HPUX patches. Afterwards when i run the command swlist -l patch, I see the listing of HPApache server patch as well
Is HPApache Server Patch installed alongwith HPUX OS???
Also is Java2-RTE13_perf.JAVA2-JRE,l=/opt/java1.3,r=1.3.0.00,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP,fr=1.3.0.00,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64
also installed with OS.

Is there any way in which i can distinguish which are installed as part of OS and which are installed as part of HPUX patches.

Thanx in advance for your support and help.

Im not sure I understand your question correctly but I will try to answer;

1. if you cd to /var/adm/sw/products then do an ll -tr|more

You can see from the date+timestamp order what was installed at OS install time and what was installed leter. Everything installed at OS install time has almost identical date+timestamp, eg, on one of my servers;

drwxr-xr-x 3 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 HPUX11i-OE
drwxr-xr-x 3 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 perl
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 CIFS-Client
drwxr-xr-x 7 root sys 8192 Oct 23 2002 HPvxvm
drwxr-xr-x 26 root sys 8192 Oct 23 2002 CDE
drwxr-xr-x 5 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 ApacheStrong
drwxr-xr-x 7 root sys 8192 Oct 23 2002 AudioSubsystem
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 CIFS-Development
drwxr-xr-x 8 root sys 8192 Oct 23 2002 CIFS-Server
drwxr-xr-x 5 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 DigitalVideo
drwxr-xr-x 8 root sys 8192 Oct 23 2002 HPvmsa
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 Java-PlugIn1-2
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 Java2-RTE13_base
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 Java2-RTE13_doc
drwxr-xr-x 4 root sys 96 Oct 23 2002 Java2-RTE13_perf

You can see from this that when we installed the OS Apache AND Java RTE 1.3 installed then (we didnt add them later).

To check if any apache patches installed then do;

swlist -l fileset | grep -i apache

And if anh patches listed (PHxx_zzzz) then you know its patched. On our servers we dont have any Apache patches - instead we upgrade to new version. eg. on 11i we run apache v1.3.19.23 but you can check the patch database on the itrc.hp.com and search for any apache patches.

HPUX patches all start with PH... at the product level.

Use 'show_patches' cmd to show all patches.

11.11 HPUX software is usually sold in bundles that include Apache and Java. These are NOT patches. They are products / applications included with the sowfare bundle. The applications included do change over time, so you will see new products in Mar03 vs. Jun01.

[Steven E. Protter]

There are subsequent releases of java. They are not really patches, they are upgrades.

They do require new OS patches prior to installation.

As noted, OS patches start with PH.

If you have a software contract you might want to have a patch analysis done.

No patches are installed as part of the OS. Any patches had to have been installed separately after the OS install. You say " Also I installed new HPUX patches". I'm assuming you installed the latest patch bundle after the install of the OS. Java and Apache probably got installed along with the OS (depending on which Operating Environment CD you used - probably TCOE), so when you applied the patch bundles, the patches for Java and Apache were selected along with all the others.
