1. When upgrading software in HPUX, do I need to remove first the existing version? (ie. Upgrading CIFS/Server A.01.08 to A.01.09). What happens if I remove A.01.09 if I installed it on top of A.01.08? Will A.01.08 get reinstated?
2. Also, how do I remove a software fileset? Ie. CIFS (client and software) were included in an OS 11i install... swlist does not show them but swlist -l fileset does.
3. Any short but comprehensive software administration link/site I could be pointed to?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution2) You remove a fileset using 'swremove'. If you just do an:
# swremove
Then a window will open up and give you a selection of software that is installed on your system. You select what you want to remove from this list, mark it, and remove it.
3) You could check http://docs.hp.com and see if they have anything that suits you.

Re: Software Admin Question
can find them on docs.hp.com,search for CIFS.
I usually did swremove as it didn't take much time.Oh,well saved smbd.conf and needed files (logs?)
2)swremove,sometimes filesets depend one on another but in case of CIFS 9000 software I think it's a standalone install (no dep.)
2) www.software.hp.com , hpux.utah.cs.edu

Re: Software Admin Question
1) It depends on the s/w; CIFS can be upgraded without uninstalling the previous version. Doing this will preserve your existing CIFS configuration.
3) http://docs.hp.com

Re: Software Admin Question
Adding a bit of information before starting swremove.
If you use X-reminal emulator software like reflectionX or Xvision.
# export DISPLAY=your-ip-adres:0.0
# swinstall
# swremove
Hope it helps,
Robert-Jan.

Re: Software Admin Question
BTW, is there a tool/way to find out which software package/fileset a file (exe or otherwise) belongs to.. ie. if I want to know which fileset /usr/contrib/bin/perl belongs to?
Also, is it normal to for swinstall to not overwrite existing versions ie. perl? I installed 5.6.1 depot but the old perl is available in /usr/contrib/bin.

Re: Software Admin Question
1)swlist -l file FilesetName/ProductName
2)Depends on software and swinstall options.Check /var/adm/sw/swagent log file.
3)What about points to those deserving?

Re: Software Admin Question
Yes, that's normal in this case. It depends on how the software was packaged and installed.

Re: Software Admin Question
There is no one set answer to a lot of these questions. As with anything else in Unix the answer is "It Depends".

Re: Software Admin Question
You can find it using :
swlist -l file | grep progname
It will search in the IPD.
