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 v1.6 default operating
environment is intact on your system, enter the command:
/usr/sbin/swverify HPUX11i-OE
However, if you get an error like this, then the indicated software (xyz)
was not updated:
The product “xyz,l=/,r=B.xx.xx” is not compatible with this
system's architecture or operating system.
Start Task To update the HP-UX software, do the following:
1. Mount the HP-UX Applications DVD that contains the software.
2. Go to Chapter 5, “Installing Patches and Applications,” on page 79 to
install or update the new version using the swinstall command.
3. Use the application; this is the best way to verify the application’s
operation.
Open each application, view a working document or project, and
perform typical production operations such as editing a file and
printing a report. If the application does not work as expected, see
the application’s release notes and documentation to determine the
problem.
