Please Help...Help
Hi,
No Answers at all, no problem I manage to find out the answers which are near to accurate,
FIRMWARE:
For RX,
#usr/contrib/bin/machinfo | grep "Firmware revision"
Firmware revision: 04.04
For RP,
#/usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo -no_banner | grep Version
----------------- Processor 0 HPMC Information - PDC Version: 46.34 ------
----------------- Processor 1 HPMC Information - PDC Version: 46.34 ------
Format Version : 0x1 Language Code : 0x0
The values we are getting For
RX:4.04
RP:46.34
are same values when we run sysrev at MP
MP:CM> sysrev
SYSREV
Current firmware revisions
MP FW : E.03.30
BMC FW : 03.52
System FW : 46.34
We can consider this value as System Firmware Version.
KERNEL VERSION:
In HP-UX there is no separate kernel version like linux and solaris, here the kernel version is same as OS version. Which can be simply retrieve by
# uname -r
B.11.23
PATCH VERSION:

if we need to answer that what is the patch version of your HP-UX system, then we can answer as B.11.23.0609
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
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

Hello,
some years ago using HP-UX (RISC).
I know, there's a tool "cfg2html" for HP-UX available.
Here :
