Setting Up Remote Operations
SD-UX uses Access Control Lists to authorize anyone who is attempting
to create, modify, or read software products in a depot or to install
software to a root file system. (ACLs are discussed in detail in Chapter 9,
“SD-UX Security,” on page 255.) To enable the remote operations, you
must install a special HP ServiceControl Manager fileset on each remote
system to be managed. You can then enable the remote operations GUI.
1. As root, enter the following command on the controller system:
swreg -l depot /var/opt/mx/depot11
• If the remote host is running HP-UX 10.20, use the same
command but substitute depot10 for depot11.
• This sets up sharing of the depot used to enable the remote
systems.
2. As root, enter the following command on each remote system to be
managed. This sets up the root, host and template ACLs in a way
that permits root access from the controller system:
swinstall -s central_node:/var/opt/mx/depot11 \
AgentConfig.SD-CONFIG
•In this example, central_node is the name of the controller.
• If the remote host is running HP-UX 10.20, use the same
command but substitute depot10 for depot11.
• Remote systems previously set up with OpenView Software
Distributor do not require this step.
• Software Distributor does not require any other ServiceControl
Manager filesets.
3. (Optional) On the central controller system only, enter the following
command to enable the remote operations GUI interface:
touch /var/adm/sw/.sdkey
(This step is not required when you use SD-UX from within the HP
ServiceControl Manager.)
