Verifying System Install or Update
Verifying HP Applications
Chapter 8 147
Verifying HP Applications
To verify that all required HP-UX applications have been installed or
updated, you have already used the Software Distributor swlist and
swverify commands, as explained in “Verifying the HP-UX Cold-Install
or Update” on page 144.
In this section, you need to use swlist and swverify again, but with
different options.
Task 1: Identifying and Verifying the Bundle
Step 1. List all of the bundles on your system:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l
bundle
Step 2. From the list, identify the bundle or bundles containing the OE
extension that you want to verify.
Step 3. Verify that you have the correct bundle for the Operating Environment:
/usr/sbin/swverify
bundle-name
If you get an error like the following, then the software identified is
incompatible with your system and needs to be replaced with a newer
version:
The product “
xyz
,l=/,r=B.xx.xx” is not compatible with this
system's architecture or operating system.
Step 4. Continue with the next section,“Task 2: Updating the HP-UX
Applications Software” on page 148.
