Check your software to see if they meet the minimum version, compiler, and patch requirements for installation.

1. To determine the distribution and version of HP-UX installed:

   # uname -a

   HP-UX hostname B.11.31 U ia64 4156074294 unlimited-user license

   In this example, the version of HP-UX is 11.31 and the processor is Itanium.

2. To determine the compiler installed:

   # /usr/sbin/swlist -l product | grep -i compiler

3. To determine if a patch is installed:

   # /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch | grep PHSS_42686

   Alternatively, to list all installed patches:

   # /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch | more

   If a required patch is not installed, then download it from the HP Support Center website and install it:

   https://www.support.hp.com/

   If the website has a recent version of the patch, then download and install that version.

4. To verify if the system meets the minimum patch bundle requirements:

   # /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle |grep QPK

   The QPK (Quality Pack) bundles have version numbers of the form B.11.31.0809.326a (for the September 2008 release), B.11.31.0903.334a (for the March 2009 release), and so on.

   If a required bundle, product, or fileset is not installed, then install it. See your operating system or software documentation for information about installing products.

   Note:

   There may be more recent versions of the patches listed in the preceding paragraph that are installed on the system. If a listed patch is not installed, then determine if a more recent version is installed before installing the version listed.
5. If you require a CSD for WebSphere MQ, then refer to the following website for download and installation information:
