HP-UX GUID Manager v1.0 Administrator Guide

2 Installing the GUIDMgr
This chapter describes how to install the GUIDMgr software and includes the following topics:
• Installation requirements
• Installation procedure
• Verifying the installation
• Removing the GUIDMgr software
• Reporting problems
2.1 Installation requirements
To install the GUIDMgr, you need the following:
• HP-UX Secured Shell installed and working
• An HP Integrity server with HP-UX B.11.31 installed
• root privilege is required
2.2 Installing and configuring the product
Once you have read the product release notes and verified that you have met the system
requirements as described in “Installation requirements” (page 9), install the GUIDMgr software
on a GUID server (not necessarily the same server on which the VSP resides) and the clients as
described in the following sections.
2.2.1 Installing on the server
To install the HP-UX GUID Manager software on the database server, enter the following command
on the server:
# swinstall -s ${DEPOT_PATH}/GUIDMGR_A.01.00.579_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA.depot GUIDMGR
# swlist GUIDMGR
GUIDMGR A.01.00.579 HP-UX GUID Manager
This command initializes the GUIDMgr server-side environment, including creating a GUID private
user account, initializing the database, and starting the database service. If no error occurs during
initialization, GUIDMgr related daemons are started. If any error occurs, you must fix the error
before performing the next step or distributing current host name to any GUIDMgr client.
To initialize the server, enter the following command:
# /opt/guid/utils/guid_server_prepare.sh
This command configures the GUIDMgr on the target system. After the GUID Manager is configured
on the server, the database is empty. The guid_server_prepare command creates some guid
tables without any guid data. The guid_server_prepare.sh script executes the following commands
automatically:
• /opt/guid/bin/guidconfig –b wwn is executed to set up the library linkage for the
commands.
• /opt/guid/sbin/guidd is started as the main daemon for a GUID server.
• /opt/guid/sbin/guidkeyd is started, so you can SSH tunnel to GUID server from GUID
client.
• /opt/guid/sbin/guiddbutil –c wwn is used to create the initial database, if not
already created.
The /opt/guid/tools/postgresql directory contains binaries to set up the a postgresql
database for private use by a GUID server. Various PostgreSQL commands are executed to set up
