Hi,

I am new to HP.So please help me in basic doubts.

thanxs in advance

1. swlist | grep PHKL

2. getconf KERNEL_BITS

3. HP-UX releases,
Release Identifier Release Name Supported Processor Architecture
B.10.20 HP-UX PA-RISC
B.11.00 HP-UX PA-RISC
B.11.11 HP-UX 11i v1 PA-RISC
B.11.20 HP-UX 11i v1.5 Intel® Itanium®
B.11.22 HP-UX 11i v1.6 Intel® Itanium®
B.11.23 HP-UX 11i v2 Intel® Itanium®

swlist | grep PHKL
PHKL_24027 1.0 VxFS 3.1 comulative patch

PHKL_25613 1.0 IDS/9000; file/socket sys
calls; eventports
PHKL_26404 1.0 Timers disabling, early S
IGXCPU
PHKL_27770 1.0 vfs cumulative; resolve S
G/vsar incompat.
PHKL_27919 1.0 Probe,IDDS,PM,VM,PA-8700,
AIO,T600,FS,PDC
PHKL_27980 1.0 VxFS 3.1 cumulative patch
: CR_EIEM

does the above output means that the latest kerenel patch which has been applied is PHKL_27980

1. same to above

2. same to above^^

3. There is two part in HPUX. One is PA-RISC and the other is Itanium.
This is the difference of CPU architecture.
and the various classes of HPUX relating to PA-RISC are different with the number of CPUs, the max size of memory, bandwidth of memory and cpu and I/O, PSI card slots, the number of disk and so on.

My english is pool^^ because I am a korean.

Thanks for reading it.

Have a nice day~~

No .. .that only shows the patches that are installed on the system. To find the new updated patch information download cpmcollect.sh script from the following site,

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/addUpdateSystemsPage.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.pdb|patch.breadcrumb.sbs|

Run the script on your system and upload the output file in the following site

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/searchBySystem.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.pdb|

And in the search criteria enter PHKL to find kernel patches and download them. You can select multiple patches and download as a bundle.

The patches are different each other.
Not latest patch.^^

You can also add this command. It will tell you if the system hardware is capable of doing 32 and 64 bit or 64 bit only.

# getconf HW_CPU_SUPP_BITS

Hi Lee,

You need not worry about your english .. it is not that bad. Keep on foruming and you will find that your english is improving along with the points ;-)

Hi,

try following command

#getconf KERNEL_BITS /dev/mem

Thanx

Hi ,

All the patches starting PHKL_xxxxx is kernel patches.

To find the genral sytem revision etc try the following commands.

1.For the support plus pack installed:
swlist | grep GOLD

From that you should get some information. If you do not get anything out of that you might be using customised patch bundles depending apon your support contract. I recommend you investigate it with your seniors and if you are senior then maybe with your account representative from HP.

Also since I do notice you have ITRC access you can look at the dates of your patches and try to find a map.

Well the other two questions has been answered mostly.

Regards
Gerhard

Also, use:
# swlist | egrep -i -e "gold|qpk|hwe|xsw|patches"

which will give you output:
FEATURE11-11 B.11.11.0209.5 Feature Enablement Patches for HP
-UX 11i, Sept 2002
GOLDAPPS11i B.11.11.0206.4 Gold Applications Patches for HP-
UX 11i, June 2002
GOLDBASE11i B.11.11.0206.4 Gold Base Patches for HP-UX 11i,
June 2002
HWEnable11i B.11.11.0209.5 Hardware Enablement Patches for H
P-UX 11i, Sept 2002

From which I can tell my kernel has been patched to the Sept 2002 bundle.

Hi rajendra,

>How to find which is latest kernel patch which has been installed on the system?

# swlist -l product -a date | grep PHKL

>How to find whether system is 64bit or 32bit?

# getconf KERNEL_BITS (only for HP-UX 11.X)

>What are various classes of HP-UX and what is basaic difference between them?
See other posts because I don't understand what you mean with 'various classes of HP-UX'. About hardware or software releases?

Best regards,
Ettore

P.S.: Lee, your English is very good! Good enjoy on forum!

[Bill Hassell]

There is no 'latest' kernel patch. All indivdual patches fix a particular problem such as replacing a driver or some module in the kernel. To have the latest patches is to install the latest HWE and QPK patch bundles. If you are running 11.11, you will have about 180 kernel patches but you must have several hundred additional patches (about 500 total) to be fully patched. In many cases, PHKL (kernel) patches depend on other patches such as networking (PHNE), commands (PHCO) and subsystems (PHSS). A properly patched HP-UX will have about 500 patches, perhaps less if you regularly run the cleanup program to commit old patches.

[Geoff Wild]

# what /stand/vmunix
will show you all patches in current running kernel.

as others have said getconf KERNEL_BITS will return 64 or 32.

That doesn't mean your apps are though...

For example, your OS may be 64, but your Oracle may be 32.

Hi Rossy,

Regarding class i mean whether it is L class, K class like this .So i want to know how many classes of HP-UX is there and on what is basic diffrence between them.

AS u were telling whether it is software level or hardware level ? Can u put some light on this.

with regards

rajendra

There is too much to go into regarding the difference between all of the series of HP machines.

Server wise there are, or have been, the following models: A, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, N, R, T, V, and the newer are rp24xx, rp54xx, rp74xx, rp84xx. Those are just the PA-RISC processors.

Now if you count the workstations there have been B, C, and J models.

The Itanium processors add even more models.

If you want to learn more about the models you can go to: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/hw/index.html

There manuals there for most types of HP hardware. Have fun reading.

[Fabio Ettore]

Hi,

I meant software releases:

FOE
Foundation OE (Operating Environment)

EOE
Enterprise OE

MCOE
Mission Critical OE

MTOE
Minimal Technical OE

TCOE
Technical Computing OE


I meant hardware level:

according to class (N-class, K-class, etc.)

You answered to my question, you are seraching for the hardware level.

Best regards,
Ettore

Hi,

Use the following command:

#getconf KERNEL_BITS /dev/mem
