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. In addition, you can view the results of your update in the
log file /var/opt/swm/swm.log. Refer to “Step 6: Update” on page 123
for more information.
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 the HP Technical
Documentation Web site:

Task 1: Listing all Software Installed on Your System
Step 1. List the bundles and products installed on your system:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product> /tmp/software_list
Step 2. Check the list to see that it contains the bundles and products you wish
to have installed on your system.
Step 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 Applications DVD. To see the contents of a
DVD, issue the following command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle -l product -s /dvdrom \
> /tmp/dvdcontent
