HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 on HP Integrity Server Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3112, June 2013)
For more information about how to reconfigure IP address, see Section 8.6 (page 52).
4.5.3 Configuring additional IP addresses
Applications inside an HP 9000 container might require multiple IP addresses. Analyze the
configuration in the <hp9000_root>/var/opt/HP9000-Containers/etc/rc.config.d/
netconf file to find the number of configured IP addresses on the HP 9000 server.
If SG is used with an HP 9000 container in the application package model, applications might
require an additional floating IP address.
For more information about how to reconfigure IP address, see Section 8.6 (page 52).
4.5.4 Configuring additional devices
Creating and managing device files inside the container is not supported inside an HP 9000
container. The devices must be provisioned on the HP-UX 11i v3 host system.
To copy a device file from the host into the container, run the following command:
$ srp –add <srp_name> -tune device=<device_path>
For example, this command can be used to provision raw devices used by database applications
for the container. The data from raw devices must be recovered separately from the host system
using standard tools such as dd. You might have to configure the raw device names in application
specific files.
The list of device files copied from the host into the container is recorded in the /var/hpsrp/
<srp_name>.setup/srpdevices.lst file.
4.5.5 Configuring mount points
Configure mounts inside the container root directory in container local fstab or container
pre-start fstab. For more information about how to configure NFS, Autofs, and VxFS mount
points for HP 9000 container, see Section 8.5 (page 50).
4.5.6 Restoring or deleting HP 9000 startup services
As a part of HP 9000 container setup, several daemons are deleted from the HP 9000 RC
directories. The concept used is that all services that appear in HP 9000 swlist, except the
services that are supported inside the container, are moved out of <hp9000_root>/sbin/
init.d. Application daemons that were installed using SD might also get removed.
To restore a deleted service (if required), execute the following script:
$ /opt/HP9000-Containers/bin/hp9000_restore_service
The script queries for the container name and the RC script name, which is moved to the
/sbin-hp9000/init.d directory inside the container. The script also updates the record /var/
opt/HP9000-Containers/deleted_services.
To delete a service from the container, execute the following script:
$ /opt/HP9000-Containers/bin/hp9000_remove_service
4.5.7 Configuring DCE services
To view or configure DCE, execute the following script:
$ /opt/HP9000-Containers/bin/hp9000_dce_setup <srp_name>
If the script detects that the container is configured on a DCE server, the host name and IP address
of the HP 9000 container must be changed to the values on the HP 9000 server to avoid
reconfiguring all clients.
If the tool finds DCE client configuration, and if the HP 9000 container is using a hostname or IP
address different from that on the HP 9000 server, add this new client to the DCE server using the
