HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 on HP Integrity Server Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3112, June 2013)
dce_config command. If this is not feasible, the only option is to reuse the hostname and IP
address from the HP 9000 server.
Edit IP address configuration in the /etc/opt/security/pe_site file if required.
4.5.8 Configuring root cron jobs
During HP 9000 container creation, all cron jobs configured by root are moved out because
they might contain system administration-related jobs, which might not be supported inside the
container. To restore any of these jobs in the HP 9000 container, run the crontab command and
reconfigure the job, or restore entries from the backup file <hp9000_root>var/opt/
HP9000-Containers/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root.
4.5.9 Configuring or disabling trusted mode features
Trusted mode support with HP 9000 system containers has the following differences compared to
a native system:
• Audit management happens mostly from global and there are some known limitations. For
more information about how to configure auditing, see Section 4.5.18 (page 29).
• HP SMH or SAM is not available to manage trusted mode inside the container.
To configure trusted mode, carry out the same steps for configuring auditing.
To convert from trusted mode to standard mode (if required), run the following commands:
$ srp –start <srp_name>
$ srp_su <srp_name> root –c “/usr/lbin/tsconvert -r”
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
4.5.10 Configuring inittab
Examine the <hp9000_root>/var/opt/HP9000-Containers/etc/inittab file to view
the configuration present on the HP 9000 server. Open the container inittab file /var/hpsrp/
<srp_name>/etc/inittab and verify whether application-specific configurations are retained.
4.5.11 Configuring printers
Printer configuration is available as a part of the file system backup from HP 9000 server. Any
additional printer settings can be performed later using the lp commands inside the container.
If the printers have to be used from the global container also, store the configuration from the HP
9000 server and restore it to the HP-UX 11i v3 server using lpmgr as follows:
On the HP 9000 server, run the following commands:
$ mkdir /tmp/lpsave
$ /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr –S –xsavedir=/tmp/lpsave
Transfer the /tmp/lpsave directory to the Integrity host HP-UX 11i v3 system and run the following
command:
$ /usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr –R –xsavedir=<dir>
4.5.12 Configuring X server
X server with graphics adapter is not supported inside HP 9000 containers. XVfb is supported
inside HP 9000 system container.
To use XVfb:
