HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 on HP Integrity Server Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-3112, June 2013)

5.5.11 Configuring sendmail daemon
You can run the sendmail daemon on the host HP-UX 11i v3 system (not inside the HP 9000
classic container). Because the /etc directory is shared with the host, you must copy any specific
configuration from HP 9000 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, /etc/mail/aliases, and so on to
the global /etc/mail directory.
5.5.12 Configuring xinetd service
A workaround for the unavailability of inetd services inside a classic HP 9000 container is to
use xinetd.
WARNING! HP has not extensively tested xinetd configuration and hence, there are certain
limitations when using it inside a container.
To configure xinetd and setup RC scripts:
1. Stop and delete the existing container:
$ srp -stop <srp_name>
$ srp -delete <srp_name> delete_changes_ok=y -b
2. Install xinetd on the HP 9000 server and restore the backup on the Integrity server as
described in Section 5.3 (page 34).
3. Recreate the container:
$ srp –add <srp_name> -t hp9000cl
4. Run the configuration tool provided with the product:
$ /opt/HP9000-Containers/bin/hp9000_xinetd_setup <srp_name>
5. If the script exits with errors related to itox, update the <hp9000_root>/etc-hp9000/
inetd.conf file so that it contains only the entries related to the minimum required services.
Run the hp9000_xinetd_setup script again.
5.6 Testing HP 9000 classic container
Start HP 9000 classic container:
$ srp –start <srp_name>
All startup messages must say OK. Verify whether there are any startup error messages in the /var
/hpsrp/<srp_name>/etc/rc.log file.
Verify the status of the container:
$ srp –status <srp_name> -v
Log in to the container:
$ ssh <srp_name>
Start applications for testing just the way you do it on the HP 9000 server.
Stop the container:
$ srp –stop <srp_name>
5.7 Configuring ARIES parameters
Some application environments might require additional ARIES configuration. For more information
about ARIES configuration, see Section 4.8 (page 30).
