Original Qeury:
Need to know how to check the current patch kit level on our Alpha servers running v5.1. Any suggestions.
Thanks a lot to Scott Fafrak, Shaukat Riaz, Eiler, James A (gave a script), David Hull, Bury, John G. and the rest for giving precise commands. The suggestion was to use:
# dupatch -track -type kit
OR
# /usr/sbin/dupatch -track -type patch
These do the trick. Additionally, Scott also gave a detailed explanation of "decoding" the output provided as follows:
Patch kit names have the following format:
OS Product|Version|KitType|Kit#|-MfgDate
OS Product DU = Digital UNIX
T64 = Tru64 UNIX
KitType AS = Aggregate Selective installation patch kit
SS = A patch kit containing a single patch
T64V51AS0004-20011114 OSF510
T64V51 = Tru64 UNIX version 5.1
AS = Aggregate Selective
0004 = Patch Kit 4
20011114 = Date of Release (November 14, 2001)
The newer patch kit names are slightly different.
OS Product|Version|BaseLevel|KitType|Kit#|-MfgDate
T64V51AB01AS0001-20020116
T64V51A = Tru64 UNIX version 5.1A
B01 = Baselevel 01 (the Engineering Base Level)
AS = Aggregate Selective
0004 = Patch Kit 4
20011114 = Date of Release (November 14, 2001)
This is all explained in the "Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Software Products -- Patch Kit Installation Instructions" guide that comes with each patch kit. See section 1.3.1.
Thanks a lot folks.
