HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide

1. Mount the Applications DVD. To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i can access:
a. Determine the DVD device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD devices.
b. If one does not exist, create a mount point for the Applications DVD.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point for the DVD. Often a /cdrom
directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir command.
c. Using the mount command, specify the DVD device name and mount point. For example, the
following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /cdrom directory:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /cdrom
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.
2. Determine which products and versions are on your system, useing the swlist command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
3. Install software from the Applications DVD useing the swinstall.
The following example uses swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /cdrom:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom bundlename
See the swinstall (1M) manpage for details.
4. Select and install software from the Applications DVD.
The swinstall program has an interface for selecting and installing software from the DVD.
5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM drive. The DVD automatically
unmounts whenever the server reboots.
Use the umount command to unmount the DVD. For example, umount /cdrom unmounts the /cdrom
file system. See the umount (1M) manpage for details.
6. Start using HP SMH.
Installing using HP SMH Software Depot
1. Go to the Software Depot Home at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
2. Find the product that you want to download. Each product has a web page with information and
download links.
3. Click the Receive link.
4. Complete the registration form.
5. Review any installation instructions.
6. Save the bundle to a local directory such as /var/temp.
7. Install the product to your system:
swinstall -s /var/temp/ depot_filename.depot bundlename
For example: swinstall -s \
/var/temp/SysMgmtHomepage_A2214_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA+PA.depot SysMgmtWeb
8. Start using HP SMH.
NOTE: When HP SMH is installed, the user hpsmh and group hpsmh is automatically added to the
/etc/passwd file. If you are using LDAP or any other network service to manage user and group accounts,
there might be a possibility that the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) is already in use by the LDAP users,
which can be confusing. The problem occurs in HP-UX 11i v3 on Integrity systems.
To overcome this, add a local hpsmh user and group using unique UID and GID (IDs not in use by LDAP or
the other network services) manually before installing the HP SMH.
