Installing Servicecontrol Manager on HP-UX

This section provides steps to successfully install the Servicecontrol Manager (SCM) central management server (CMS) on a server running a supported version of HP-UX. “System Requirements” to verify which versions of HP-UX are supported.

If you are installing SCM on Linux, see “Installing Servicecontrol Manager on Linux”.

Before You Install CMS Software on an HP-UX Server

Several dependent software packages need to be verified before you install SCM. Based on this information, you may be able to skip portions of the CMS install.




	NOTE: If you need to remove Tomcat or MySQL, verify that it isn’t being used by another application. If one or both of these applications cannot be removed, you must select a different server to be the CMS.

Procedure 2-2 To verify dependent software packages:

Verify that Java SDK version 1.4 is installed:
swlist T1456AA
If the correct version of Java SDK is already installed, you can skip installing it during the CMS software installation. If a different version is installed, multiple versions of Java SDK can coexist on the same HP-UX server.
Verify that Tomcat version 4.1.12 is installed:
swlist hpuxwsTomcat
If the correct version of Tomcat is already installed, you can skip installing it during the CMS software installation. If a different version is installed, you need to remove it before installing SCM.
To remove Tomcat:
1. Uninstall the Tomcat:
  swremove hpuxwsTomcat
2. Verify that Tomcat is removed:
  swlist hpuxwsTomcat
3. Remove or rename the following Tomcat directories if they exist:
  /var/tomcat
  /etc/tomcat
Verify that MySQL version 3.23 is installed:
swlist mysql MySQL
NOTE: MySQL may have been installed from a tar file instead of an SD package. Look in /var and /opt to see if it is installed from a tar file.
If the correct version of MySQL is already installed, you can skip installing it during the CMS software installation. If a different version is installed, you need to remove it before installing SCM.
To remove MySQL:
1. Uninstall the MySQL:
  swremove MySQL
  where MySQL is the bundle ID.
2. Verify that MySQL is removed:
  swlist MySQL
  where MySQL is the bundle ID.

Installing CMS Software on an HP-UX Server

This installation process includes installing Java SDK, MySQL, and Tomcat in addition to SCM.




	NOTE: This procedure assumes that the appropriate enablement patches have been installed on the server. For details about which patches are required and steps to install them, see the Servicecontrol Manager 3.0 Release Notes on the Web at: `http://software.hp.com/products/SCMGR/download.html`

Procedure 2-3 To install CMS software on an HP-UX server:

Download the required depot files identified below or locate them on the network if they are already available. To download, go to:
http://software.hp.com/products/SCMGR/download.html
- For HP-UX 11.00. CMS and Agent Software: SCM.3.0_11.00_11.11.depot
- HP-UX 11i v1. CMS and Agent Software: SCM.3.0_11.00_11.11.depot
- HP-UX 11i v2. CMS and Agent Software: SCM.3.0_11.23.depot
Register the depot files on the depot server:
swcopy -s filename.depot \* @ directory
where filename.depot is the name of the depot file that you downloaded and directory is the directory where the files will be copied to.
Install Java SDK if version 1.4 or later isn’t installed on the system:
swinstall -s server:directory T1456AA
where server is the hostname of the depot server and directory is the location of the depot files on the depot server.
Install Tomcat if version 4.1.12 isn’t installed on the system:
swinstall -s server:directory hpuxwsTomcat
where server is the hostname of the depot server and directory is the location of the depot files on the depot server.
Install MySQL if version 3.23 isn’t installed on the system:
swinstall -x allow_incompatible=true -s server:directory MySQL
where server is the hostname of the depot server and directory is the location of the depot files on the depot server.
Install Servicecontrol Manager:
swinstall -s server:directory B8339BA
Where server is the hostname of the depot server and directory is the location of the depot files on the depot server.
Initialize and configure the CMS:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -a server
