Checking the Software Requirements on HP-UX Itanium

Check your software to see if they meet the minimum version, compiler, and patch requirements for installation:

To determine the distribution and version of HP-UX installed:

2.  # uname -a

3.  HP-UX hostname B.11.31 U ia64 4156074294 unlimited-user license

In this example, the version of HP-UX is 11.31 and the processor is Itanium.

To determine the compiler installed:

5.  # /usr/sbin/swlist -l product | grep -i compiler

To determine if a patch is installed:

7.  # /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch | grep PHSS_42686

Alternatively, to list all installed patches:

# /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch | more

If a required patch is not installed, then download it from the HP Support Center website and install it:

http://www.hp.com/

If the website has a recent version of the patch, then download and install that version.

To verify if the system meets the minimum patch bundle requirements:

9.  # /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle |grep QPK

The QPK (Quality Pack) bundles have version numbers of the form B.11.31.0809.326a (for the September 2008 release), B.11.31.0903.334a (for the March 2009 release), and so on.

If a required bundle, product, or fileset is not installed, then install it. See your operating system or software documentation for information about installing products.

Note:

There may be more recent versions of the patches listed in the preceding paragraph that are installed on the system. If a listed patch is not installed, then determine if a more recent version is installed before installing the version listed.
