HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Release 4.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1 | HP-UX 11i v2 | HP-UX 11i v3

NOTE: If you are migrating schedules from release 3.x of HIDS, you must first migrate
to HIDS 4.0 and use guiSchedConvert to convert them to HIDS 4.0 schedule files
before migrating them to HIDS 4.1 schedules.
Complete the following process to migrate HIDS 4.0 schedules to HIDS 4.1 schedules:
1. Use the v4.0 idsgui to convert all the Java schedules that you want to migrate
into text files. Use the Details tab in the GUI Schedule Manager to save the
schedules. The text schedules are saved in
/var/opt/ids/gui/logs/<schedulename.txt>
2. Use /opt/ids/bin/migrator to migrate each schedule to HIDS 4.1. Use this
command with the following options:
-i input schedule
-o <output directory>
If this option is not specified, the tool creates the schedules and group files
in /etc/opt/ids/schedules and /etc/opt/ids/schedules/groups,
respectively. If this option is specified, the schedule files are created in the
specified <output directory>, and the corresponding group files are
created in <output directory>/groups
Preinstallation
Before installing Release 4.1 on a system that has a previous version of HP-UX HIDS
installed and running, HP recommends that you stop the idsagent process.
IMPORTANT: For systems that do not currently have any version of HP-UX HIDS
installed, HP recommends that you make a full backup of all administration and agent
systems before you install HP-UX HIDS. Installation on agent systems requires a kernel
rebuild (automatic) and reboot.
Making Depots
It is a good idea to gather the various pieces of software into depots that you can use
with the swinstall command. These instructions tell you how to prepare three
combination depots. You will need at least two of them: one administration depot and
one or two agent depots. Table 2-3 lists and describes these depots.
After you select the two or three that you need, HP recommends that you go through
the rest of this section and “Installing the Depots” (page 41) and mark the substeps
that you will need to complete.
