Installing BIND 9.2.0
BIND 9.2.0 is available as a web release on HP-UX 11i v1 platform at HP’s
software depot at http://www.software.hp.com. The latest version of BIND 9.2.0 is
version B.11.11.01.015 released in February 2010. After downloading the software
package, use the swinstall command to install the package on your system.
Detailed information on how to use BIND 9.2.0 can be found in the respective man
pages.
Step1 If you have installed BIND 9.1.3 on your system, use
swremove command to remove the old web upgrade.
Step2 Type: swinstall -s <destination path> on the command line
Where <destination path> is the absolute path where you
downloaded the BIND 9.2.0 web upgrade depot to.
(Refer to the swinstall.1m man page for more information
on swinstall command)
Execution of the above command would display a GUI screen.
Step3 Select the BIND 9.2.0 product in the GUI screen
Step4 Invoke Action menu and select Install option
BIND 9.2.0 on HP-UX 11i is now available for use.
If you install the current version of BIND 9.2.0 on a system where a previous
version of BIND 9.2.0 is installed, the previous version of BIND 9.2.0 is
overwritten. Now, if you try removing the current version of BIND 9.2.0, both the
current version and previous version of BIND 9.2.0 are removed, and the system
will revert back to the base version of BIND, that is 8.1.2, delivered with the HP-UX
11i v1 operating system.
The BIND 9.2.0 files are installed into the /usr/contrib/bind directory. During
installation, the /usr/bin/enable_inet script backs up the existing BIND 8.1.2
files into /usr/contrib/bind/save_custom/backup directory and activates
the higher version of BIND by linking the new files to existing file locations.
The enable_inet -r bind command allows reverting back to the older version
of BIND. enable_inet status bind shows the currently active version of
BIND. If you want to install a GR patch, you need to disable BIND 9.2.0 by running
the command "/usr/bin/enable_inet -r bind" in the command line to
revert back to the base version delivered with HP-UX 11i (BIND 8.1.2) prior to
patching.
