Looking for sample HPUX validation documents.

Hi All,

Is there any sample HPUX validation document with test steps to validate a HPUX 11.x system after new software/patches installation or upgrade?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best Regards,
Jan Shu

As all servers run different applications, this validation is almost impossible to attain.

Rule of thumb : Do not apply the latest greatest patches. Wait until they get a 2 star rating in the patch database. After patch installation, ask your end users to push the system to its limits, with whatever needs to be done to accomplish this. It is the best test method that I know of

Re: Looking for sample HPUX validation documents.

Hi there is no such document in my knowledge
any how i can tell you how to validate it .


#swlist -l fileset -a state |grep -i installed

there should not be any file set with state installed that means the fileset is installed but not configured that needs to be configured using swconfig

check with

#swlist -l fileset -a state |grep -i corrupt
there should not be any fileset in corrupt state .

if these conditions are okay then you can continue to use your system

Jan,

You may want to read the document, Patch management user guide, at http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-0686/index.html ,
it provides helpful hints as to identify patches and verifying which ones are installed on your system (see more specifically the page at http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-0686/ch04s02.html
