Create the Depot Directory
Step 1. Log in as superuser (root) on a system where you can build a software depot. The
current or intended HP-UX HIDS administration system is a good choice.
Step 2. If it does not exist, create the base directory for the depots as follows:
mkdir /var/depot
Get Patches for HP-UX 11i v1
Perform this procedure only if one or more of your agent systems are running HP-UX 11i v1
(PA).
NOTE If you have installed any software updates, some of these patches might already
be present on your systems. You can first install the HP-UX HIDS software and
run the /opt/ids/bin/IDS_checkInstall command to check the patches that
you do not need to download.
If you attempt to install a patch that is already there, the swinstall command
will note that fact and just install the other patches.
Step 1. Log in as superuser (root) on the depot system; see “Create the Depot Directory” on
page 29.
Step 2. Create a directory in which you can save the patches and make a temporary depot.
This procedure uses /var/tmp/idspatch_11i.
Step 3. Using the Internet, go to the HP Support Web site:
11i Agent Depot
/var/depot/ids_11i_agent
For an HP-UX 11i system supporting
the HP-UX HIDS agent software
