Installing the required software on an HP-UX system

Understand the basic managed system software for HP-UX.

For HP-UX, the following software, shown with minimum recommended versions, is required for essential HP Systems Insight Manager functionality to operate. This software is installed by default as part of the latest HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 operating environments, but it might need to be installed or updated on HP-UX 11i v1 or older HP-UX 11i v2 systems.

This WBEM Services bundle contains basic system instrumentation displayed in the HP SIM Property Pages, as well as supporting data collection and reporting by HP SIM inventory functionality. To maximize the value of SIM for properties, inventory, and events, see http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/providers for the latest WBEM Services bundle.

Ensure the managed system software is installed on HP-UX 11i v1 or v2. On HP-UX 11i v3, the listed software's or its equivalences are always installed.

To verify that the minimum required software is installed, log in to the remote system, and run the following command:

$ swlist –l bundle T1471AA B8465BA OpenSSL

If WBEM Services is not found and your operating system is 0603 11.23 OEUR or later, run the following command:

swlist –l product HPUXBaseAux.WBEMServices

To verify that the optional providers and System Management Homepage are installed, run commands such as:

$ swlist –l bundle LVMProvider WBEMP-LAN-00 SysMgmtWeb SysFaultMgmt OnlineDiag

Acquire and install the managed system software if not previously installed.

The SecureShell, WBEM bundles are included on the HP-UX Operating Environment and Application Release media, as well as part of the HP Systems Insight Manager HP-UX depot downloaded from http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_hpux.html.

For the WBEM providers, see http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_hpux.html .

After the depots containing the software have been acquired, they can be installed from the managed system using commands such as:

$ swinstall –s <depot_location> OpenSSL

Note: B8465BA depends on OpenSSL, so this must be installed first.

$ swinstall –s <depot_location> T1471AA

$ swinstall –s <depot_location> B8465BA

$ swinstall –s <depot_location> <names of WBEM providers being installed>
