HP-UX PA-RISC Installation Instructions
To install the client perform the following steps:
- Download and copy the corresponding BigFix client
package file to the HP-UX computer (the computer must be PA-RISC system).
The file name is in the format: BESAgent-9.2.xxx.x.pa_risc_hpuxxxxx.depot with
variations, depending on the particular version of the agent downloaded. Note: Internet Explorer might label the downloaded file as a .tar file. Mozilla and other browsers download the file with the extension .depot.
- Run the following command:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s HOSTNAME:/path/BESAgent_filename BESAgent
where:- HOSTNAME
- Is the name of the system on which the agent is being installed.
- /path/
- Is the path to the agent installation source.
- BESAgent_filename
- Is the name of the file you downloaded.
For example:/usr/sbin/swinstall -s hpsystemb:/tmp/BESAgent-9.2.xxx.x.pa_risc_hpuxxxxx.depot BESAgent
- Copy your actionsite masthead to the HP-UX BigFix client
computer (the masthead contains configuration, license, and security
information). The action site masthead (actionsite.afxm)
can be found in your BES Installation folders (by default they are
placed under C:\BES Installers). If the masthead
is not named actionsite.afxm, rename it to actionsite.afxm and
place it on the computer at the following location: /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm.
The masthead file for each BigFix server is downloadable at http://servername:port/masthead/masthead.afxm
Note: The directory /etc/opt/BESClient/ is not automatically created by the installer. If it does not exist, create it manually.The masthead file for each BigFix Server is downloadable at http://servername:port/masthead/masthead.afxm (example: http://bes.BigFix.com:52311/masthead/masthead.afxm). - Start the BigFix client
by running the command:
/sbin/init.d/besclient start
