Verifying System Installation Verifying the HP-UX Installation Verifying the HP-UX Installation To verify that HP-UX 11i v1.6 was installed successfully, use the Software Distributor commands swlist and swverify. Start Task 1. Run swlist to list all products, bundles, and filesets on the system: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle options: -l product and -l fileset For a cold install, compare your list with the list of software products in the TABLE_OF_CONTENTS files on the HP-UX 11i v1.
Verifying System Installation Verifying the HP-UX Installation TIP For help with these commands, see the swlist (1M) and swverify (1M) manpages, and the Software Distributor Administration Guide, which is available on the Instant Information CD or the web: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iV1.
Verifying System Installation Verifying HP-UX Applications Verifying HP-UX Applications To verify that all required HP-UX applications have been installed, you should have already tried the Software Distributor commands swlist and swverify, as explained in the previous section. For example, to verify that the HP-UX 11i v1.
Verifying System Installation Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches The swinstall utility permits the installation of multiple patch bundles with a deferred configuration. Some of these patch bundles may contain superseded patches that do not get configured. After executing swverify \* on your system, these patches show an “installed” software state in the swagent.log file.
Verifying System Installation Changing the State of HP-UX Installed Patches CAUTION This problem only exists when an active patch is removed and rolled back to a superseded patch left in an “installed” state. Executing swconfig on a patch in the “superseded” patch state is dangerous; do not do it. 3.
