Installing the Depots
CAUTION If you choose to not follow the installation instructions in this section, it is vitally
important that you install the required kernel patches before you install the HP-UX
HIDS software. Do not reinstall any patches without consulting HP Support first.
NOTE In the commands below, swinstall will not reinstall any patches or software that are
already installed. You can ignore messages to that regard. The software you need will be
installed properly.
The swinstall option “-x autoreboot=true” in the following commands ensures that
any software that requires a system reboot will be installed. If none of the installed
software requires a reboot, the system will not be rebooted. See also “Will Installing
HP-UX HIDS Release 3.0 Reboot My Agent System?” on page 29.
Step 1. Log in as superuser (root) on the HP-UX HIDS administration system.
Step 2. Make sure you are the only user on the system; the installation may require a reboot.
Step 3. Install the software on your administration system. In this procedure, we assume that
you are installing one of the admin software depots described in “Making Depots” on
page 20. Perform one only of the next two substeps:
a. 11i Admin Depot
Either If your administration system is running HP-UX 11i and will not be running an
agent, install the ids_11i_admin depot (a reboot may occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true \
-s depotsys:/var/depot/ids_11i_admin \*
b. 11i Admin+Agent Depot
Or If your administration system is running HP-UX 11i and will be running an agent,
install the ids_11i_admin+agent depot (a reboot will occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true \
-s depotsys:/var/depot/ids_11i_admin+agent \*
Step 4. Install the software on each of your agent systems. In this procedure, we assume that
you are installing one of the agent software depots described in “Making Depots” on
page 20.
a. Log in as superuser (root) on each HP-UX HIDS agent system.
b. Make sure you are the only user on the system; the installation will require a reboot.
c. 11i Agent Depot
Either If your agent system is running HP-UX 11i, install the ids_11i_agent depot:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true \
-s depotsys:/var/depot/ids_11i_agent \*
