Patchlevel on HP-UX 11i

[Maz_2]

I have obviously worked on Solaris too long....
How do I find out the patchlevel my server is running on?

[Michael Steele_2]

swlist -l product / fileset | grep -i qpk

You're looking for the latest quality pack level.

For example:

QPK1100_11.00

[Maz_2]

Thanks for that..... no QPK's installed though.

Hi:

# swlist|grep -i GOLD

...will return the GOLDBASE adn GOLDAPPS patch bundle descriptions which include their release dates.

Or swlist -l bundle, which will yield:

BUNDLE11i B.11.11.0102.2 Required Patch Bundle for HP-UX 11i, February 2001



(I think it's time to update this workstation!)

And also yield things like:

QPK1100 B.11.00.56.5 Quality Pack for HP-UX 11.00, March 2002
XSWGR1100 B.11.00.53.2 HP-UX General Release Patches, June 2001

XSWHWCR1100 B.11.00.53.8 HP-UX Hardware Enablement and Critical Pa
tches, June 2001

Hi (again):

I presume(d) by "11i" you meant 11.11. If so, use:

# swlist -i -e gold -e hwe

If this is 11.0, I'd use:

# swlist |grep -i -e qpk -e hwe

These will return the standard patch bundle descriptions and thereby give a reasonable measure of your "patch level". OF course, there are many specific instances where a specific patch is what's really of interest. In that case, something like:

# swlist | grep

...or:

# swlist -l patch

...is more desirable.

Regards!

Okay thanks guys, I have figured it out.
JRF, did mean 11.11
I assume you meant swlist ~grep -i -e gold -e hwe
Thanks a lot.

swlist -l product gives a complete picture of patches and other things installed from Software Distributor Depots that could impact your system.

This is the information I provide application support for say Oracle when they want to know the big picture.

You can list the currently active patches with 'show_patches'.
Provided you have installed thae patch that provides show_patches.

Hi (again):

/No_Points_Please?

Yes, I certainly did mean:

# swlist | grep -i -e gold -e hwe

...Not!:

# swlist -i -e gold -e hwe

Regards!
