Verifying HP-UX Applications
To verify that all required HP-UX applications have been installed or
updated, you should have already tried the Software Distributor
commands swlist and swverify, as explained in “Verifying the HP-UX
Install or Update” on page 118.
For example, to verify that the HP-UX 11i v2 default operating
environment is intact on your system, enter the command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
Identify the bundle(s) containing the OE extension.
Then enter this command to verify it:
/usr/sbin/swverify bundle-name
If you get an error like the following, then the software identified is
incompatible with your system and needs to be replaced with a newer
version:
The product “
xyz
,l=/,r=B.xx.xx” is not compatible with this
system's architecture or operating system.
Start Task To update the HP-UX software, do the following:
1. Mount the HP-UX Applications DVD that contains the software.
2. Go to Chapter 8, “Installing Patches and Applications,” on page 125
to install or update the new version using the swinstall command.
3. Use the application; this is the best way to verify the application’s
operation.
Open each application, view a working document or project, and
perform typical production operations such as editing a file and
printing a report. If the application does not work as expected, see
the application’s release notes and documentation to determine the
problem.
