How to Verify Your HP-UX Installation

To list all products on your system, enter:

/usr/sbin/swlist -a state -l fileset

For example, running swlist on a newly installed partition on an HP Superdome system could list these product bundles:

CDE-English         B.11.11...   English CDE Environment
FDDI-00             B.11.11...   PCI FDDI;Supported ...
GigEther-00         B.11.11...   PCI/HSC/EFF-HSC...
GigEther-01         B.11.11...   PCI/HSC/EFF-HSC...
OnlineDiag          B.11.11...   Online Diagnostics 
HPUX11i-OE          B.11.11...   HP-UX Internet Operating                                   Environment Component
HPUXBase64          B.11.11...   HP-UX 64-bit Base OS
HPUXBaseAux         B.11.11...   HP-UX Auxilary Software

For a cold-install, compare your listing with the list of software products provided with 11i, as listed in the tables in the Read Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i booklet.

For an update, compare your listing with the swlist output obtained before the update. Software products whose versions have not changed have not been updated. Use the swverify command to determine whether those products are compatible with HP-UX 11i.

Run swverify to verify that each bundle is intact. For example, to verify that HP-UX 11i OS is intact, enter:

/usr/sbin/swverify HPUXBase64

Or, to verify all software on your system, enter:

/usr/sbin/swverify \*

The Selection process locates all required filesets for the product. After the list you should see:

* Selection succeeded.

Then the Analysis process verifies that each required file is loaded (existence and version), all required dependencies are met, and runs any available verification scripts for the product. This will take some time. After the analysis you should see:

* Analysis succeeded.

If the analysis fails, either view /var/adm/sw/swagent.log to review the analysis log or run the swjob... command listed at the end of the swverify report sent to stdout.
