HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, March 2013

Verifying the HP-UX cold-install or update
To verify that HP-UX 11i v3 was installed or updated successfully, use the Software Distributor
commands swlist and swverify, as described in this section. For an update, you can also
view the results of the update in the log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log. See Step 7 in “Updating
to HP-UX 11i v3 using the terminal user interface” (page 49) for more information.
Before you begin, make sure you have already completed cold-installing or updating to HP-UX 11i
v3.
TIP: For help with these commands, see the swlist(1M) and swverify(1M) manpages, and the
Software Distributor Administration Guide, which is available on the Instant Information DVD or
at http://www.hp.com/go/sd-docs.
Part I: Listing all software installed on your system
1. List the bundles and products installed on your system:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product > /tmp/software_list
2. Check the list to see that it contains the bundles and products you wish to have installed on
your system.
3. For a cold-install, you might want to compare the output of the swlist command above with
the contents of the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment DVDs and the Application Software
DVDs. To see the contents of a DVD, issue the following command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product -s /dvdrom > /tmp/dvdcontent
Part II: Verifying the installed software
You can verify that all software was successfully installed on your system by entering the following
command:
/usr/sbin/swverify \*
The message “Verification succeeded” should be displayed on the console at the end of the
operation. Further messages from the verification process can be found in the log files: /var/adm/
sw/swverify.log and /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
Configuring Operating Environment applications
After installing or updating to an HP-UX 11i v3 OEUR, some OE products need post-installation
configuration to make them functional. This need might be indicated by a message logged in
/var/opt/swm/swm.log.
See each product’s installation instructions for details. The locations of documents for many OE
products are listed in the HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes, available on the Instant Information DVD
and at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs-11iv3. You can also search for product
documentation at the Business Support Center (http://hp.com/go/bizsupport).
NOTE:
Prior to running the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM v6.1 product, newly added to the VSE-OE and
DC-OE in the March 2012 OEUR, be sure to review the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1 Release
Notes for additional information, including patches required for running the product.
Migrating to the agile mass storage stack
The new mass storage stack for HP-UX 11i v3 is intended to supersede the existing mass storage
stack. However, in HP-UX 11i v3 both legacy and persistent DSFs can exist in parallel. Existing
legacy DSFs will continue to work as before; they are completely backward compatible, and will
