HP-UX commands


 Hello ,

 It was gr8 experience for me to use HP-UX box , not upto expert level , but at certain comfort !
 While working with HP-UX , I decided to create one small draft of common commands used
 
 Below are Common HP-UX commands with their appropriate output 


HP-UX :
=======

Complete command or filename --> type few characters and press ESC key 2 times

List multiple files starting with "T" -->  type "p" then "ESC" then "="

# cd p

1) pids/
2) probes/


Rexecute command numbers 562 :
==============================

561     cd ..
562     ls
563     hios

[root@fwa-integ02] [/opt/nimbus]
# r 562
ls
bin       niscache  pids      probes    robot     tmp
[root@fwa-integ02] [/opt/nimbus]



Execute Last Command --> ESC + k



To display current baud rate, start/stop bits, parity, flow control, and other information 
==========================================================================================

# stty -a
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
rows = 24; columns = 80
min = 4; time = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U
eof = ^D; eol = ^@; eol2 ; swtch
stop = ^S; start = ^Q; susp ; dsusp
werase ; lnext
-parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crts

Software removal process logged into /var/adm/sw/swremove.log



Find and remove unused softwares :
==================================

freedisk 


swremove 


Verifying Installed software :
==============================

swremove 

log of the command is recorded in /var/adm/sw/swverify.log



What is Software Depot :
========================

Software depots are places where filesets, products, and bundles are stored. A software depot may a directory on your disk, a CD-ROM, or a tape (DDS, DAT) used for 

distributing software

By default, the software depot directory is /var/spool/sw

(Its like Repository in RHEL , we can add , remove list packages from it.)


HP-UX Patches
==============

Patch Sources
Patches can be obtained using your Web browser through WWW or FTP. The WWW site address is:

http://ITResourceCenter.hp.com

The FTP site address is:

ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com/hp-ux_patches

You can also order a patch CD-ROM from Hewlett-Packard to obtain a collection of all patches.


CUSTOM PATCH MANAGER
--------------------

This tool is available on the Hewlett-Packard Web site. It can be used to take inventory of existing software installed on your system and suggest needed patches. To 

use the custom patch manager, your system needs to be connected to the Internet and you must have a Personalized System Support Agreement with Hewlett-Packard.


Command patches   : CO
Kernel patches    : KL
Network patches   : NE
Subsystem patches : SS

Some example patch names are:
-----------------------------

PHSS_16473

PHSS_14158

PHCO_15623

PHKL_16189

Usually you need to reboot the system after installing a kernel patch



Check HP-UX Version :
======================

# uname -a
HP-UX fwa-inte B.11.23 U ia64 2745059608 unlimited-user license
[root@fwa-integ02] [/var/spool]
# uname -r
B.11.23


List Installed Patches :
=========================

swlist -l patch


HP-UX Patch Installing :
========================

Obtaining Patches
HP-UX patches are distributed as shar files. When you download a patch from the Hewlett-Packard FTP or Web site, use the sh command to unshar it. For example, to 

download the patch, PHCO_15220


ftp> get PHCO_15220
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for PHCO_15220 (46784 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
46784 bytes received in 1.04 seconds (44.02 Kbytes/s)

Step 1:
-------

After downloading, use the following command to unshar the patch.

$ sh PHCO_15220
x - PHCO_15220.text
x - PHCO_15220.depot [compressed]
$

Step 2:
-------

To add the patch to the /var/spool/sw depot, use this command.

swcopy -s PHCO_15220.depot PHCO_15220 @ /var/spool/sw



Step 3:
-------

swinstall -s /var/spool/sw
