HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks

To see all subsets belonging to a bundle or product, chooseOpen. You can do this
when only one item is selected.
To see a description of the item (if there is one), select the item and choose Show
Description Of Software.
To update all parts of your operating system with new software found on the
update media, select Match What Target Has.
NOTE: By default, swinstall does not reinstall filesets if the same revision
already exists on your system. If you want to reinstall the same revision (for
example if some files are lost), you can change the installation options by
choosingOptions/Change Option.
Installing a product or a fileset may automatically install dependent filesets
necessary to run the selected item(s).
5. Choose Action/Install (analysis) to start the installation process.
The installation process is divided into four phases:
Install Analysis Checks dependencies, verifies that all files can be
installed correctly and defines the sequence of
installation so that, for example, only one kernel
rebuild should be necessary even if there are more
filesets which require a new kernel.
Execution Phase Performs preinstall tasks if necessary and installs
filesets.
Post_install Performs post-installation activities, such as
rebuilding of kernel and system reboot.
Configuration Phase Configures installed filesets for your system. In
some cases this must be done after the system is
rebooted. This is done with the script
/sbin/rc2.d/S120swconfig which is a link to
/sbin/init.d/swconfig.
Information about the installation is logged in /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log
and /var/adm/sw/swagent.log. You open the swagent.log log file during the
installation process by pressing Logfile.... Check the log file for errors.
Installing Protected Software
Most HP software products are shipped to you on DVD optical media as “protected”
products. That is, they cannot be installed or copied unless a “codeword” and “customer
ID” are provided by you. Software that is unlocked by a codeword may only be used
on computers for which you have a valid license to use that software. It is your
responsibility to ensure that the codeword and software are used in this manner.
