Chapter 4. Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on HP-UX 11i
Installing and configuring Red Hat Directory Server on HP-UX has three major steps:
1. Install the required version of the Java® Runtime Environment (JRE).
2. Install the Directory Server packages.
3. Run the setup program. T he setup step is where all of the information about the new Directory
Server instance is supplied.
WARNING
If Directory Server is already installed on your machine, it is extremely important that you perform
a migration, not a fresh installation. Migration is described in Chapter 8, Migrating from Previous
Versions.
NOTE
Before beginning the installation process, make sure that your system meets the requirements in
Section 2.2.3, “HP-UX 11i”.
There are three interactive ways of setting up Directory Server: express, typical, and custom. These
setup types provide different levels of control over the configuration settings, such as port numbers,
directory suffixes, and users and groups for the Directory Server processes. Express has the least
amount of input, meaning it uses more default or randomly-generated settings, while custom allows the
most control over the configuration by having the user supply a lot of configuration information. These
setup types are described more in T able 1.2, “Comparison of Setup T ypes”. For most deployments, the
typical installation type is all that is required.
NOTE
There is a fourth setup option called a silent installation. T his uses a file with predefined settings
to create a new Directory Server without any user interaction. T his is extremely useful for doing
large numbers of Directory Server instances, since it does not require any user involvement after
the packages are installed. Silent installations are explained more in Section 6.3.1, “Silent Setup
for Directory Server and Administration Server”.
This chapter describes the complete process for installing Directory Server on HP-UX 11i, including both
the JRE and Directory Server packages, and the different setup options.
4.1. Installing the JRE
Necessary Java JRE libraries are not bundled with Directory Server. T hey must be downloaded and
extracted separately before installing the Directory Server packages.
