HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

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. Refer to Step 7 in “Updating to HP-UX 11i v3 using the terminal user
interface” (page 63) for more information.
Before you begin, make sure you have already completed either cold-installing or
updating to HP-UX 11i v3.
TIP: For help with these commands, refer to the swlist(1M) and swverify(1M) manpages,
and the Software Distributor Administration Guide, which is available on the Instant
Information DVD or at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html.
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 may want to compare the output of the swlist command
above with the contents of the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment DVD and
the Application Software DVD. 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 updating to an HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment (OE), some OE products
need post-installation configuration to make them functional. This need may be
indicated by a message logged in /var/opt/swm/swm.log.
