Identifying
installed software
To identify the software products on a system or media, use swlist. For
example, to show revision and descriptive title of all software installed
on a system, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist
For example, to list all products and their versions on a DVD mounted at
/cdrom, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist -s /cdrom
To get table of contents and product details, enter:
/usr/sbin/swlist -dvl product -a readme @ /cdrom
The swlist command has many options to expand or narrow the listing
to specific attributes; see the swlist (1M) manpage or the Software
Distributor Administrator Guide, available on the Instant Information
DVD and on this web site: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/os/11iv2
NOTE The cold-install process will erase all software on the root volume before
installing HP-UX 11i v2. If you wish to retain any existing software, be
sure to back up that software before migrating, or use update.
