Hardware and Software Requirements
Check that your systems meet the requirements for installing HP-UX HIDS.
Administration and Agent Systems
For each administration and agent system:
• You must be running HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v1.6, or 11i v2. To check, enter:
uname -r
It will display B.11.11, B.11.22, or B.11.23, respectively.
• The system must be at least a PA-RISC system for HP-UX 11i v1 or Itanium-based
for HP-UX 11i v1.6 and 11i v2.
• You must be superuser to do the installation.
Administration System
For the system where you plan to install the administration software:
• You must have 26 MB of free disk space in /opt/ids and space for configuration files
in /etc/opt/ids and log files in /var/opt/ids.
• You must have Java SDK or RTE 1.3.1.x (version 1.3.1.13 or later is recommended)
and all the corresponding Java patches. Java installation is part of these installation
instructions. (Java 1.4.x may co-exist with 1.3.1.x, but it does not work with the
System Manager. Therefore, 1.3.1.x is used by default when the System Manager
starts.)
Agent Systems
On each system, which you plan to install the agent software for monitoring the system
for security breaches or system misuse:
• You must have 8 MB of free disk space in /opt/ids.
• The memory mapped file (/var/opt/ids/ids_*) has increased in size from 10M to
20M in v3.0. HP recommends that you have at least 50M of free space in /var for the
memory mapped files and log files.
• For HP-UX 11i v1, you must have certain patches for both the operating system and
the kernel audit system. Patch installation is part of these installation instructions.
• The cron daemon must be enabled. See cron(1M) for more information.
• Virtual memory usage of idscor process can be as high as 200 M. You may need to
increase the maxdsiz tunable for your system.
Dual System
If a system is both an administration system and agent system, combine the
requirements for both.
