the database for the first time, if not already created, and start the postgresql daemons needed
to access the database.
2.2.2 Installing on the client
To install the GUID client, enter the following command on all the VSP hosts:
# swinstall -s ${DEPOT_PATH}/GUIDMGR_A.01.00.579_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA.depot GUIDMGR
NOTE: After installing and verifying the client installation, you must set up authentication on
GUID client. Otherwise, any GUID request to remote server will fail. See “Verifying the installation
of GUIDMgr” (page 10) for information about setting up authentication.
2.3 Verifying the installation of GUIDMgr
To verify that GUIDMgr installed successfully, enter the following command to check the guest
configuration:
# /opt/guid/bin/guidconfig -l
HOST=hostname
BE_LIBS=Check
This command checks if a hostname or an IP address is configured in property "HOST".
If it is, GUIDMgr client installation is complete and you can continue with other GUIDMgr commands.
If it is not, see the following scenarios:
• Scenario 1 — Enter the following command:
# /opt/guid/bin/guid_client_prepare -a
If you have a legacy configuration in /opt/guid/etc/guid.conf, the
guid_client_prepare -a command sets up authentications only between the local client
and servers configured in the guid.conf file. If there is no legacy configuration,
guid_client_prepare command performs a broadcast in the current subnet trying to
discover available GUID servers and setting up authentications. If only one available server
is found, guid_client_prepare dumps the remote server's WWN ranges to the /opt/
guid/var/ranges file. Then, the server's address is automatically configured into the
guid.conf for future use. If multiple servers are found, guid_client_prepare dumps all
the remote servers' WWN ranges to the /opt/guid/var/ranges file. However, no server
address is configured into the guid.conf.
You can browse the /opt/guid/var/ranges file, pick up any server, then configure with
the GUID client with the guidconfig -h command.
• Scenario 2 — If you receive available GUID servers from a system administrator, the
administrator can configure GUID client manually. The following command configures an
available server address on the current GUID client:
# /opt/guid/bin/guidconfig -h hostname
The following step sets up authentication between the local GUID client and the remote GUID
server. Setting up authentication is a mandatory step on GUID client. Otherwise, any GUID
request to a remote server will fail.
# /opt/guid/bin/guid_client_prepare -m hostname
2.4 Removing the GUIDMgr software
To remove the GUIDMgr product, you must remove the following software bundle:
• GUIDMGR A.01.00.579 HP-UX GUID Manager
To remove this bundle, enter the following commands:
# swremove GUIDMGR
