Operating Systems HP-UX Regarding firmware and kernel version of HP-UX systems. Post 302971569 by Peasant on Friday 22nd of April 2016 12:30:46 AM

If you have machinfo command available, it should show you desired FW information in one go (among cpu/mem count, serial numbers).

For patches, operating environment version
Code:
 swlist HPUX*OE*

This should give you an initial version of HPUX v2 installed e.g(11.23.0409), which you can reference further in HP docs for any action that needs to be taken regarding same.

You also want to check make and model if you plan upgrading to higher release (11.31), if it is supported to run that OS.

From your swlist output i see the machine has been patched with so called QPK bundle (quality pack patch bundle), which is fine. They are quite old tho, from 2006.

In my experience, applying QPK patch bundle is a low risk operation, and it should be done at fairly regular intervals. It will require a reboot or two.

If you apply the latest QPK bundle, you can consider your 11.23 HPUX fully patched.
Be sure to read release notes carefully and apply things in right order if required.

There is also a client utility called 'hpsum' which will connect to any HP server, provide information regarding FW levels and apply them on all equipment if wanted.

Check out 'HP-UX Software Assistant' as well, as it is a handy set of command line tools to generate reports about patches, download them via proxy and similar.


Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

NAME
ift-extract.info - ift-extract.info Built-in iSight firmware extractor and patcher ift-extract extract the Built-in iSight firmware from Apple driver and patch it to avoid some bugs in it. The firmware is then ready to get loaded into the chip using ift-load. * Menu: Finding the Apple driver: see "Driver" Command line options: see "Options" See also "Copying" 1 Finding the Apple driver ift-extract extract Built-in iSight firmware from Apple iSight driver. This driver is located at /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupport on your Mac OS X root partition. There is several version of this driver depending on driver version or host architecture (PowerPC or x86). Thus, ift-extract must determine know the variant of the driver in order to properly extract the firmware. Any AppleUSBVideoSupport file starting with those shipped with iMac G5 iSight must work. If not, please report unknown AppleUSBVideoSupport at bugreport mail address with machine type and OS X version. 2 Command line options `-a' `--apple-driver' Apple driver filename where to extract the firmware. `-d' `--output-directory' The directory where to output the firmware. Defaults to /lib/firmware. `-f' `--output-filename' The output firmware name. Defaults to isight.fw `-?' `--help' Shows option help and quit. Since ift-extract defaults to output the firmware to /lib/firmware/isight.fw, ensure you have the right to do so. 3 Copying isight-firmware-tools is a project developped by A~Xtienne Bersac based on the work of Ronald S.
