Determining the build ID of a core server

When you install an SA patch, SA updates the install.inv file to record the patch installation and the patch build ID.

To determine the build ID of a core server:

  1. Go to /var/opt/opsware/install_opsware/inv.
  2. Open the install.inv file and search for %basics_.
  3. Check the build_id parameter under the basics_linux line to see which base version of SA is installed on your system. For SA 10.51, this should be build_id: opsware_65.0.72322.0.
  4. Search for opsware_patch in the install.inv file. This shows which SA patch is installed on top of the major SA release. If the opsware_patch entry does not exist in the install.inv file, no patches have been applied to your SA core.
