NAME

sysdiff - HP-UX installed software comparator

SYNOPSIS

sysdiff [-v] system1 system2

DESCRIPTION

The sysdiff utility compares the SD-UX packaged software and active patches currently installed on two

systems. Products are presented in lexicographical order using the format:

Product

system1 system2 description

------------- ------------- -----------------------------------

Version1 Version2 Product Description

------------- ------------- -----------------------------------

*PHCO_10000 PHCO_10100 Patch Description PHCO_10100

PHKL_11000 *PHKL_10111 Patch Description PHKL_11000

*PHKL_10222

PHKL_20000 Patch Description PHKL_20000

When different active patches within a single patch supersession chain are found on the two systems, all

older patches are marked with an asterisk (*). The newest patch supplies the patch description for that

chain (in this example: PHCO_10100 and PHKL_11000).

Options

If no options are speciﬁed, sysdiff displays only those products with different revisions or installed

patches, and only those patches not found on both targets. The sysdiff utility recognizes the following

options:

-v Display all installed software and active patches.

Note

Depots are not currently supported as targets for this command.
