To Load HP PEX | |
If you have a 9.0x release of HP-UX,
and your workstation is not preloaded with Instant Ignition, you
must install HP PEX (usually from a CD-ROM or DDS tape or over your
company network), which requires superuser capability. (If you have
HP-UX 10.0, PEX is bundled with other products, so no explicit PEX
installation is necessary.) Check that the workstation is running the HP-UX operating
system, 9.05 or later; enter uname
-a to display the operating system version information. Verify long-file-name capability, which is required
by HP PEX. If your system does not already support long file names,
then, as root,
use sam (1M),
the menu-driven System Administration Manager program to convert
the file system before you begin installation with update. Alternatively, you
can use the convertfs
(1M) command to convert your file system. If you are using a CD-ROM or DAT, insert the source
media into its device. If you are using a CD-ROM you will also mount
the device onto the system. If you are installing HP PEX over your
company network, skip this step. As root,
use update and
follow the instructions. This update program is interactive, it
provides messages, menus, prompts, and help screens to guide you
through the procedure of selecting partitions PEX and SHLIBS. The update
program checks fileset dependencies and that required disk space
is available. It reports inadequate space, if necessary, so that
you can take corrective action. Many types of errors, if they occur during the update program, will result
in a message describing what happened and directions to remedy the
error. See the next section "If you experience difficulty during
installation". Read the file update.log,
which notes any installation problems, and reports other information
from the installation process. When your installation is complete, you must restart
the X server. If you are using the HP CDE environment, log out of the session.
Then at the welcome display, click on Options, then click on Restart
Server. When the login display reappears, log in. If you are using X Windows with some other window manager,
stop the server (usually this is done by typing Shift CTRL
Reset) and then restart it.
If You Experience Difficulty During Installation | |
Check for any error messages that were recorded in the file
/tmp/update.log
(make sure you check the dates and times printed in the file so
you know which update
session the error messages refer to). Also check the messages that
may have been displayed from running verify_install. Also check the device files. Devices specified in X server
screen configuration files must correspond to existing device files
with appropriate permission. If you don't already have the appropriate
device file, you must create it using the mknod command. For information
on mknod, see
the HP-UX Reference Manual and/or Using
the X Window System. You may need to review following sections in this chapter
in order to set up device files or use error messages to troubleshoot
the installation before you compile and run programs. If You Reinstall The X Window System | |
The file, libXhpPEX.1,
a shared library file which is used by the PEX server, is installed
with the X Window System with update.
When HP PEX is installed, this file is overwritten to activate the
PEX capabilities within the server. It is important to note that if, for some reason, the X Window
System is reinstalled after HP PEX has been installed, libXhpPEX.l is overwritten
and HP PEX will fail to function. To correct this and reinstall
the complete HP PEX version of libXhpPEX.1,
type the following as root: cd /
/system/PEX5-RUN/customize HP-PA |
Also note that if the fileset PEX5-RUN
is removed using rmfn,
the original version of libXhpPEX.1
from the fileset X11-SERV
is restored. |
