To verify
that all required HP-UX applications have been installed, you should
have already tried the Software Distributor commands swlist and swverify, as explained in the previous section.
For example, to verify that the HP-UX 11i v1.6 default operating environment
is intact on your system, enter the command:
/usr/sbin/swverify HPUX11i-OE
However, if you get an error like this, then the indicated
software (xyz) was not updated:
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:
Mount the HP-UX Applications
DVD that contains the software.
Go to Chapter 5 “Installing
Patches and Applications” to install or update the new version using the swinstall command.
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.
