Configuration Phase Configures installed filesets for your system. In
some cases this must be done after the system is
rebooted. This is done with the script
/sbin/rc2.d/S120swconfig which is a link to
/sbin/init.d/swconfig.
Information about the installation is logged in
/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log. You open the log file during the
installation process by pressing Logfile.... Check the log file for errors.
Installing Protected Software Most HP software products are shipped to you
on CD-ROM as “protected” products. That is, they cannot be installed or copied
unless a “codeword” and “customer ID” are provided by you. Software that is
unlocked by a codeword may only be used on computers for which you have a
valid license to use that software. It is your responsibility to ensure that the
codeword and software are used in this manner.
The codeword for a particular software product is found on the CD-ROM
certificate which you receive from HP. It shows the codeword along with the
customer ID for which the codeword is valid. One codeword usually unlocks all
the products on a CD-ROM which you have purchased. When an additional HP
software product is purchased, an additional codeword will be provided by HP.
Just enter the new codeword and customer ID and they will be merged with any
previously entered codewords.
A codeword for a particular customer ID and CD-ROM only needs to be entered
once per target system. The codeword and customer ID are stored for future
reference in /var/adm/sw/.codewords. SD-UX will prompt you for these
codewords or numbers prior to the installation of protected software. You can
enter or change the numbers via the SD-UX graphical user interface (using Add
New Codeword from the Actions menu) or by using the appropriate default (-x
codeword=
xxxx and -x customer_id= xxx ) on the command line.
