How can I list all the patches in an HP-UX server?

Hi


swlist -l fileset|grep PH

# swlist -l patch -a state

# /usr/contrib/bin/show_patches

HI,
# show_patches
This only works with PA systems and if you have Ignite UX installed.
for IA's you have to use:
# swlist -l patch | more

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help guys. I have one more question? Whats the difference if I use

swlist -l product |grep PH

Is this appropriate? I tried this on our other server but it displayed nothing while on the other server, it displayed some patches.

HI,

# swlist -l product
display at product level and patches will not be displayed in this because it will only talk about the products installed.
So grep PH won't display anything.

# swlist -l patch
This displays all patches applied on your System. So this is the right command to use.

See man swlist for more calrification.

Hi,

and by the way.

The most common denominations are:-

PHNE Networking patch , covering all networking issues
PHCO Command patch covering areas such as SAM, spooler, ls(1)
PHSS Sub-system. These patches can cover subjects are are not totally related to either networking or commands.
PHKL Kernel patch. Examples of this type are, LVM,filesystem
