How do I install a software with Codeword ?
You can type de Codeword direct on command line (using as paramter of swinstall):
-x codeword=xxxx and -x customer_id=xxx
Or via the Graphical User Interface (using the [Add New Codeword on "swinstall -i"] choice from the [Actions] menu).
Each Codeword is only applicable to a CD or DVD with a specific part number.

AutoFS - Automount
The first step is export the FS to be used on NFS server.
If you don't know how to do that, check the link bellow.
Configuring NFS server
Before to configure autoFS in your client is better check if you can see the nfs FS in your client.
# showmount -e <nfs server>
The return will be the list of what is exported on nfs server and who is allowed to mount/access.
If everything is right until this point... configure the autoFS:
Include on /etc/auto_master what you want mount, we are using the FS /user/home in our example.
# vi /etc/auto_master
/users/home /etc/auto_home -nosuid,intr,soft,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
Include on /etc/auto_home the address of your FS (NFS server and mount point):
* <nfs server>:/home/&
Restart automount
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
automount
Enable the auto start of AutoFS editing /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf:
NFS_CLIENT=1
AUTOMOUNT=1
AUTOFS=1
Done
LDAP-UX - How to setup LDAP-UX to authenticate on OpenLDAP
First of all, LDAP-UX does not support updating an OpenLDAP directory, so to get this to work, add the following profile to the LDAP directory (requires the DUAConfig.schema and possibly ldap-printer.schema):
dn: cn=uxprofile,ou=Profiles,dc=example,dc=com cn: uxprofile objectClass: DUAConfigProfile defaultSearchBase: dc=example,dc=com defaultSearchScope: one profileTTL: 3600 serviceSearchDescriptor: passwd:OU=People,DC=example,DC=com serviceSearchDescriptor: group:OU=Group,DC=example,DC=com authenticationMethod: tls:simple defaultServerList: <space separated list of LDAP server hosts:ports>
If you don't have the LDAP-UX package installed...
# swinstall -s /yourDepot
Create a key-store:
/opt/ldapux/contrib/bin/certutil -N -d /etc/opt/ldapux
Import the CA cert:
/opt/ldapux/contrib/bin/certutil -A -n ca-cert -t "C,," -d /etc/opt/ldapux -a -i cacert.crt
Configure LDAP-UX:
/opt/ldapux/config/setup
...specify TLS and use port 389.
NOTE: do NOT attempt to extend any sachems -- OpenLDAP does not support this.
To find out if you are working under 32 or 64-bits (PA-RISC)
You can use the getconf command to get that on PA-RISC:
getconf KERNEL_BITS
You don't need to check that on Itanium, since Itanium is only 64bits.

Rebuild lvmtab
It's quite easy.
Let's begin with a backup:
# cp -p /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.orig
Remove the old one:
# rm /etc/lvmtab
Now you are ready to rebuild using the vgscan:
# vgscan -v
Check "Real memory" on pa-risc and Ia64
I'm listing just one way to check the memory on server but as usual there are many ways to do that.
PA-RISC
# getconf REAL_MEMORY HPUX
ITANIUM
# machinfo | grep -i memory
or
# dmesg | grep mem
