Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements

resources

You can install EMS either of these ways:

• Use swinstall, or

• Use the Software Management area in SAM

If you have many systems, it may be easier to install over the network

from a central location:

1. Create a network depot according to the instructions in Managing

HP-UX Software with SD-UX.

2. rlogin or telnet to the remote host on which you are installing

EMS.

3. Install over the network from the depot.

Your requests are retained when monitors are updated, or when you

re-install a monitor on top of an existing monitor. This is part of the

functionality provided by the persistence client.

To install EMS, the installation process may need to modify /etc/services,

/etc/inittab, or /etc/inetd.conf. If it does, it ﬁrst puts a copy of the

unmodiﬁed version in the /var/tmp directory. For example,

• /etc/inittab may be copied to /var/tmp/ems_inittab.old

• /etc/services may be copied to /var/tmp/services.old

• /etc/inetd.conf may be copied to /var/tmp/inetd.conf.old

Removing EMS

To remove EMS, use swremove or the Software Management products

under SAM. Note that the monitors are persistent, that is, they are

always automatically started if they are stopped. Therefore, it is likely

you will have warnings in your removal log ﬁle that say:

Could not shut down process

or errors that say:

File /etc/opt/resomn/lbin/p_client could not be removed.

Even if you see these warnings, monitors are removed and any dirty ﬁles

are cleaned up on reboot.
