Installing AS/U Software

Check the Release Notes to see if patches are required for your AS/U version.

	CAUTION: Install the patches appropriate for your system as described in the "Required Patches" section of the Release Notes. The required patches are not automatically installed as part of the "Factory Integration" (factory preloading) of your product: You must install the latest patches before running the AS/U server software. If the patches are not installed, the AS/U server may not start.

If you have ordered a new system, with Advanced Server/9000 option 0D1 "Factory Integration," the AS/U product is already on your system disk, so you can:

Log in to your computer as root (superuser).

Check that the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /sbin directories are in your PATH using the command: echo $PATH.

Ensure that the HP-UX version is 10.20 or later by typing the command: uname -a .

Load the software media (such as CDROM) into the appropriate drive.

	NOTE: If you are accessing the workstation remotely and you are going to run the X-windows based version of the swinstall program, proceed as follows: 1) on your local workstation, type xhost +remoteservername to add the remote computer to the xhost database, 2) telnet to the remote, and then on the remote workstation, export the remote display to your local workstation using the command: export DISPLAY=computername:0.0

Type the command:

swinstall

For assistance on a particular field, press the F1 key. For more details on the installation process, see the swinstall manpage, or refer to Managing HP-UX Software with SD-UX.

Change the source host name after "Source Host Name," if necessary. The source host can be a remote machine or the local machine.

Click on the Source Depot Path to identify the registered depots for the specified host. Select the appropriate source depot path, and activate the OK button to return to the Software Selection Window.

For new installations, highlight the Advanced Server/9000 software (J2716AA or J2719AA) and then choose Mark for Install from the "Actions" menu to choose the product to be installed. Note: if you are reinstalling the same version or an earlier version of this product, you need to change the default options within swinstall to allow you to overwrite existing software.

Choose Install Analysis from the "Actions" menu to begin product installation and open the Install Analysis Window. When the analysis completes, check the log for errors and warnings. All errors must be resolved before continuing the installation.

Activate the OK button in the Install Analysis Window when the Status field displays a "Ready" message.

Activate the YES button at the Confirmation Window to confirm that you want to install the software. swinstall loads the filesets, runs the control scripts for the filesets, and builds the kernel. Estimated time for processing: 8 minutes (more if you are installing multiple applications at once). When the status field indicates "Ready," a Note Window opens. Activate the OK button on the Note Window. The kernel will be rebuilt and the system will reboot.

If an error occurs during the installation, correct the problem and press reanalyze to continue. The Advanced Server/9000 will not install if a version of Advanced Server/9000, is already running or if LAN Manager or NetBIOS are currently running.

If you want to confirm that the Advanced Server/9000 software was installed correctly, run swverify

Review the contents of the swinstall command log file in /var/adm/sw/swagent.log. This file is a log of any errors, warnings, or notes that may have been issued during the installation.

If there are no error or warning messages from the installation process, then you are ready to configure and start the Advanced Server/9000 server as described in the next section titled "Configuring Advanced Server/9000."

If there are error messages in the log file, you should correct the problems indicated in the messages, then install Advanced Server/9000 again. If there are warning messages in the log file, you should determine if the conditions described in the warnings will affect your use of the server. If your answer is yes, then correct the conditions.

If you still have problems getting your Advanced Server/9000 server to run, refer to the "Troubleshooting Installation Problems" in this chapter. If you continue to experience difficulty, then contact your HP Support Representative.
