HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Release 4.0 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1 | HP-UX 11i v2 | HP-UX 11i v3

Installing the Depots
This section describes the procedure to install the depot.
CAUTION: You must 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 following procedure, swinstall does not reinstall any patches or
applications 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 procedure 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 4.0 Reboot My Agent System?” (page 34).
1. Log in as superuser (root) on the HP-UX HIDS administration system.
2. Make sure you are the only user on the system, since the installation might require
a reboot.
3. On your administration system, install one of the admin software depots described
in “Making Depots” (page 22), as follows:
a. • 11i Admin Depot
Install the ids_11i_admin depot (a reboot may occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s depotsys:
/var/depot/ids_11i_admin *
b. • 11i Admin and Agent Depot
Install the ids_11i_admin+agent depot (a reboot may occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s depotsys:
/var/depot/ids_11i_admin+agent
4. On each of your agent systems, install one of the agent software depots described
in “Making Depots” (page 22), as follows:
a. Log in as superuser (root) on each HP-UX HIDS agent system.
b. Install the ids_11i_agent agent depot (a reboot may occur):
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s depotsys:
/var/depot/ids_11i_agent
