Identifying 11.23 Sep 2004 release
To determine which OS release is running, use uname first
PA-RISC platform
# uname –a
HP-UX krmt03b B.11.23 U 9000/800 2272434998 unlimited-user license
9000/... indicates PA-RISC. B.11.23 indicates 11.23 0409 because 11.23 was not
available on PA-RISC before 11.23 0409.
Itanium-based systems
# uname –a
HP-UX fcewdu42 B.11.23 U ia64 2548321655 unlimited-user license
If output is ia64 (Itanium) and B.11.23, then more data is needed.
# swlist | grep HPUX
HPUX11i-TCOE B.11.23.0403 HP-UX Technical Computing OE Component
HPUXBaseAux B.11.23.0403 HP-UX Base OS Auxiliary
HPUXBaseOS B.11.23 HP-UX Base OS
...
B.11.23.0409 would indicate 11.23PI. In this case we have 0403 (March) release and
therefore no 11.23PI. This is true even if the Sep 04 bundle was installed (refer to
