HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2009 (Update 4 Release)

Identification of Model, OS/OE, and Software
Before you cold-install or update to HP-UX 11i v3, you need to identify the model of
your system and other information.
Identifying the Model
To determine the model number of your system, enter:
model
To verify that HP-UX 11i v3 is supported on your system, see “Supported Systems”
(page 26).
For Itanium-based systems, you can identify the model by using the Extensible Firmware
Interface (EFI): interrupt the autoboot process in the boot manager, enter the EFI shell,
and use the info sys command:
Shell> info sys
Information about the model is displayed. For example:
SYSTEM INFORMATION
Product Name: server rx2600
Serial Number: sg20220034
UUID: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF
Identifying the OS
To identify the OS version that your system is currently running, enter:
uname -r
When a system has HP-UX 11i installed, you can determine which revision (Release
ID) is installed by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle | fgrep HPUX11i-OE
The HPUX11i-OE bundle indicates the current installed revision level. The revision
level is indicated both in the bundle version number and in the description text.
Identifying the OE
To identify the Operating Environment currently installed on your system, use swlist.
For example:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle HPUX11i-*
The output of this command includes a line that identifies the installed OE. For example:
HPUX11i-OE B.11.31 HP-UX 11i Base Operating Environment
