Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.10 Installation Guide (5900-1416, March 2011)
• Displays a list of kernel configuration files on your system and prompts you to select one.
Unless you have renamed your system's configuration file, accept the default name. (Do not
choose the generic kernel configuration file, GENERIC.)
• Rebuilds the kernel (/vmunix) automatically. This process can take 8 to 10 minutes.
After the kernel is rebuilt, the installation procedure prompts you to reboot the system. Scroll to the
bottom of the page and click on Reboot Now. After a one-minute delay, the system reboots and
you can restart the installation as follows:
1. Log in as root.
2. Restart the installation procedure by entering the following command:
# /tmp/ix_install
Note that the installation procedure is now located in the /tmp directory.
3. Indicate whether you want to continue the installation using a Web browser.
4. Specify the user name iass and the password you specified.
The procedure verifies the required Tru64 UNIX kernel options and continues.
Verifying PAK Information
The installation procedure verifies the presence of Product Authorization Key (PAK) information
required for the OSF_BASE and OSF_USR licenses. If any PAK information is missing, the script
displays a form that prompts you for the missing information. (PAK information is included with the
licensing materials you received with your hardware.) Enter the requested information and click
on Continue. For more information on registering PAKs, see lmf(8) and lmfsetup(8).
After verifying the PAK information, the installation procedure prompts you to choose a Web server.
Configuring the Network
If the procedure detects that the network has been configured, it proceeds with DNS client
configuration (Section : Configuring the DNS Client).
If the installation procedure detects that your system's network needs to be configured, the procedure
displays a form prompting you for network configuration information. You can use the worksheet
you prepared (Section : Network Configuration Worksheet) as a reference when responding to
prompts for configuration data.
The routed daemon with the -q option is appropriate when your system needs to monitor Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) updates from other systems but does not need to supply routes (that is,
it serves as a client only). The -q option inhibits the routed daemon from supplying RIP data.
(The -q option conflicts with the -s option; do not use the -q and -s options together.)
The gated daemon supports multiple routing protocols, and is appropriate for more complex
configurations (for example, when your system needs to act as a gateway and, therefore, must
provide updated RIP data to other systems). You can customize the gated daemon through settings
in the /etc/gated.conf file. If you running Tru64 UNIX Version 5.0 and plan on creating a
cluster, you must configure and run gated.
Choose whether to run the routed daemon, gated daemon, or neither, and click on Submit. The
procedure prompts you to confirm the information you entered, informs you when the network has
been successfully configured, and starts the network.
Click on Continue to proceed with the installation.
Configuring the DNS Client
If the procedure detects that the DNS client has been configured, it proceeds with configuring the
SMTP Server (Section : Configuring the SMTP Server).
