Greetings Folks

I've got a few AIX installations and need to determine the differences between them. Namely the LPP's installed, which level and whether commited or not.

Any chance there is a script or tool out there that would take say the output of 'lslpp -L' as input and give a report of such things ?

Thanks

Smoker
 
If you end up writing your own, 'lslpp -Lc' will give you output more amenable to parsing.

Hi SmokerMI,

There is a perl script called lppdiff that would foot the bill for you, but its part of the ssp.clients fileset.

Code:
# lppdiff - lpp reports accross several hosts.
#
# Description: The lppdiff command displays software level and update
#              information for one or more filesets for specified
#              nodes.
#
# Syntax: lppdiff [-Gvacn] [-l login] [-w collective] [-f fanout] 
#                       [fileset [fileset ...] | all]

Your sweet if you have PSSP installed, or access to a system using it.

All the Best.

compare_report might also help (if you have it)

lslpp -Lc >/tmp/mach1.cr
rsh mach2 lslpp -Lc >/tmp/mach2.cr

compare_report -b /tmp/mach1.cr -o /tmp/mach2.cr -l -h -m -n

see man mage
