Pre-Configuring and Installing Multiple HP-UX 11.x

Clients

The HP ISEE Depot Server is a system that hosts the HP ISEE software and

configuration for HP ISEE HP-UX Clients. The ISEE Customized Depot is the software

package that contains your configured/customized settings and resides on the Depot

Server. The settings of the ISEE Customized Depot are used to configure new Monitored

Clients during the installation process.

Selecting Your HP ISEE Depot Server

Verify the system you select for your HP ISEE Depot Server meets the following

prerequisites:

• HP-UX 11.0 or greater.

• Software Distributor daemon (swagentd) running.

• 58 MB available disk space to host and set up the depot.

• An additional 64 MB is needed if the Depot Server will also host an HP ISEE

Monitored Client.

• Network accessible to the supported devices on which you install HP ISEE.

• Capable of working with your own software distribution mechanism (if you intend to

use one).

After selecting the HP-UX Depot Server, create the Customized Depot(s). For each

Customized Depot created, an HP ISEE contact person must be specified and the

associated server information provided.

Creating a Customized Depot

To use the Customized Depot as your software source for subsequent HP ISEE Client

installations, complete the following steps:

1. Place serialized depot, which you downloaded from the HP Software Depot Web site,

on the Depot Server in a directory (<source/directory>) with at least 21.6 MB free.

2. Create a directory depot (<depot/directory>) y with at least 58 MB free to store

the directory depot.

3. Execute the following command to convert the serialized depot to a directory depot:

/usr/sbin/swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false

-s <source_directory>/serialized depot ISEEPlatform

@ <depot_directory>

The ISEEPlatform bundle is stored as a directory depot under the

<depot_directory>.
