Version of TRU64

[Jim EVA Hill]

How can I determine the verison of Tru64 I am running. I know it is 5.1B but I am not sure if it is -2 or -3. The patches installed are listed below. I think it is -2 from the B25 in the patch string. If so, how do I upgrade to -3?


Patches installed on the system came from following software kits:
-----------------------------

- T64V51BB25AS0004-20040616 OSF540
- T64V51BB25AS0004-20040616 TCR540

For os version use:

sizer -v

For patch kit version use:

dupatch -track -type kit

[Jim EVA Hill]

sizer didn't give the -2 or -3
Does the (Rev 2650) tell me anything?

[Jim EVA Hill]

I am on Patch Kit 4, does installing Patch kit 5 bring me from 5.1B-2 to 5.1B-3 ?

PK5 will upgrade to 5.1B-3. See the patch kit README FIRST.

This kit provides patches to upgrade your Version 5.1B Tru64 UNIX
operating system to Version 5.1B-3.

Thanks, that's all I needed, it seemed strange the way they list the patch kits.
I just found this link
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/patch/roadmap.html

It looks like they are transitioning from calling them patch kit number to using the dash with a number after it. The next one won't be called patch kit 6, but 5.1B-4.

I'm having the same question. Is mine a 5.1B-2 or 5.1B-3? Below is the info:

$ sizer -v
Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Sat Apr 1 04:59:49 EST 2006
$
$
$ dupatch -track -type kit

Gathering details of relevant patches, this may take a bit of time

And PK5 means (V5.1B)-3.

Your (earlier) T64V51BB25AS0004 stuff gave
you "-2".

It's not what I'd call a user-friendly
scheme, but I assume that they're trying to
reduce costs on a dying OS, so there's not
much hope for any improvement in it.
