Installing KRNG11i
This section contains information about installing KRNG11i from the CD-ROM and the
software depot.
Installing From the CD-ROM
Step 1. Log in as root.
Step 2. Mount the CD drive to the desired directory. The following example uses the /cdrom
directory (you can find the CD drive device file by using the ioscan -fnC disk
command):
# mount -r /dev/dsk/clt2d0 /cdrom
Step 3. Use SD to install the KRNG11i bundle from the CD. Note that because KRNG11i pulls in
a set of kernel components, the autoreboot flag must be specified:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /cdrom KRNG11i
The system will reboot after installation.
Step 4. After the system reboots, verify the installation logs using the following command:
# swverify KRNG11i
When you install the KRNG11i bundle, the following items will be included:
• Enablement updates to the HP-UX 11i kernel
• A dynamically loadable kernel module, rng, that collects random data
• The /usr/include/sys/random.h header file
• The random (7) man page
