Need to get a list of current patch level for migration to rp5400

[Carla Breuer]

Hi all!
I am running an hp9000 H50 HPUX 10.20. I need to get a printout of my current patch level to send to the guys configuring my new rp5400. Points to all. Please keep in mind I am not a sysadmin. I am a lowly programmer with a little unix knowledge.

Thanx,

Carla

Hi Carla:

OK, on 10.20:

# swlist -l fileset > /tmp/swlist

Regards!

The patch numbers / bundles from your H50 will do you absolutely NO good on the rp5400. The rp will be running HP-UX 11.0 or 11i and the patch numbers are totally different.

Trying to get the 11.X equivalent of all of the 10.20 patches is more work that anyone wants to do.

My advice would be to do: 1) install the latest patch bundle from HP ( I believe March 2003) or 2) go thru the custom patch manager function of the ITRC and get the latest patches from there.

You may want to try a few variations ..
# swlist -l bundle > bundle-list
# swlist -l product > product-list
# swlist -l fileset > fileset-list
The last one gives more details. I would suspect "product" swlist would be sufficient.

Thanks for the quick responses. Could somebody show me how to get that in a printout??? I usually get my bdf's to print with #bdf | lp

Patrick, the guys configuring the 5400 asked for this specifically. It's their headache not mine. LOL I agree they are spinning their heads, but I'll send it to them per thier request.

My boss is very pleased with my growing knowledge of UNIX (== raise?). You guys are wonderful teachers and I don't even have to give a tuition, only points! This forum is great!!

Straight to printer ..
# swlist -l fileset | lp -d
should do for you. If it doesn't fit, try the compress font mode ..
# swlist -l fileset | lp -oc -d

swlist -l fileset | lp
is the answer for me!

Thanx to all your replies!
Have a wonderful weekend. I have a four dayer coming when the day is done. I am counting down the hours now. Any suggestions for entertainment? Ok, so that's another thread.

Carla,

Around here, you're likely to get pretty standard entertainment answers, likely involving massive amounts of libations, debauchery, and/or hanging out on either the ITRC forums or the ITRC chatroom.

Hope you have a great weekend, too!

Pete
