• HP IT Resource Center (http://itrc.hp.com)
Refer to the “maintenance/support” link.
• HP Technical Documentation (http://docs.hp.com)
Refer to the HP-UX 11i v1 topics “Installing and Updating” and “Patch Management”.
2. (Optional) Configure long hostnames
Ensure the NodeHostNameXpnd bundle is installed if you want to use long host names on
HP-UX 11i v2 or v3. Configure long host names as described below.
Set the kernel tunable to allow long hostnames:
# kctune expanded_node_host_names=1
Set the node and hostname, with the changes being persistent across boots:
# /sbin/set_parms hostname
where hostname is the literal string hostname—not the desired hostname. You will be
prompted for the hostname.
For configuration information, read the paper “Node and Host Name Sizes on HP-UX,”
available in /usr/share/doc/NodeHostNameSize.pdf on systems with the
NodeHostNameXpnd bundle installed.
3. Install OpenSSL, if necessary
If you download software from the Web and create a software depot of your own, OpenSSL
A.00.09.07-d or later must be installed on the system on which you are installing WLM. You
can obtain the OpenSSL software from the HP Software Depot (http://www.hp.com/go/
softwaredepot). If you are installing WLM from the quarterly AR media, the required
OpenSSL software is installed with WLM.
