Installing the Software

You can perform system administration tasks remotely on a system running

Tru64 UNIX by using your iPAQ Pocket PC hand-held computer, after you

download and install the SysMan iPAQ software.

1.1 Minimal Requirements

The following section states the minimal requirements for both the

installation and use of the software to access the SysMan Menu from the

iPAQ Pocket PC hand-held computer. These requirements are divided into

these categories:

•Tru64 UNIX requirements

•Personal computer requirements

•iPAQ Pocket PC requirements

The majority of these requirements are easily fulfilled.

1.1.1 Tru64 UNIX Minimum Requirements

•Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1 or higher

For TruCluster systems, all cluster nodes must be running the same

version of the operating system, Version 5.1 or higher.

To verify the version of the Tru64 UNIX operating system on a single

system, enter the following command:

# /usr/sbin/sizer -v

HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885)

To verify the version of the Tru64 UNIX operating system on each node

of a TruCluster system, enter the following command:

# clu_get_info -full | grep "Member cluster version"

The following is output for each node of the TruCluster system:

Member cluster version = HP TruCluster server V5.1A (Rev. 1312)

1–2Installing the Software

This software may not be installed on your iPAQ Pocket PC; it is

available from the Pocket PC companion CD, which accompanies the

iPAQ 3800 series and 3900 series.

1.2 Transferring SysMan iPAQ software

The software that enables the iPAQ Pocket PC to access the Tru64

UNIX SysMan Menu is available over the Internet at the following URL:

http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/ipaq

There are other useful files, including this document in PDF format, at this

site also.

The software consists of the following components:

sysmanipaq.cab This cab file contains the client software that you

install on the iPAQ Pocket PC. The remainder of this

section describes the various ways you can download

this software to the iPAQ Pocket PC. Section 1.3

describes how to install the software on the iPAQ

Pocket PC.

smauth.jar This is a Java archive file containing the

Authentication Server. This file is installed on a

Tru64 UNIX V5.1A system or on only one node of a

TruCluster system (it is a shared file). Transferring

and installing this file is discussed in Section 1.4.

smauth.jar_v51 This is a Java archive file containing the

Authentication Server for Tru64 UNIX. This file is

installed on a Tru64 UNIX V5.1 system or on only

one node of a TruCluster system (it is a shared file).

Transferring and installing this file is discussed in

Section 1.4.

These files can be downloaded individually or in an archive. Two types of

archive files, tar and zip, are available. You must extract the files from

the archive after downloading them.

While the smauth.jar is downloaded directly to the Tru64 UNIX system,

there are two methods for downloading the sysmanipaq.cab file onto the

iPAQ Pocket PC, as shown here:

From theweb site to the Tru64 UNIX system to the PC to the iPAQPocket PC

From theweb site to the PC to the iPAQPocket PC

Installing the Software 1–3

These methods are described in the following sections.

1.2.1 Downloading by way of the Tru64 UNIX System

Transfer the sysmanipaq.cab file from the web site to the Tru64 UNIX

system, then to the PC, then to the iPAQ Pocket PC as follows:

1. Use a browser to download the sysmanipaq.cab file from the web

site (http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/ipaq) to a temporary

directory on the Tru64 UNIX system. If you download an archive file,

you need to extract the sysmanipaq.cab file.

2. Ensure that the Tru64 UNIX system and PC are able to communicate.

3. Use the Tru64 UNIX ftp or the PC’s WS_FTP32 (FTP-32 Client for

Windows) to transfer the sysmanipaq.cab file to My Documents

folder on the PC.

4. Ensure that the PC and the iPAQ Pocket PC are properly connected

using the serial or USB cable.

5. Invoke the Microsoft ActiveSync Software from the PC.

6. Select the Explore button.

A window displaying the contents of the iPAQ Pocket PC appears.

7. Drag the sysmanipaq.cab icon from the My Documents folder

and drop it in the My Documents folder in the ActiveSync window.

Alternatively, you can use the Cut and Paste commands.

This step transfers the SysMan iPAQ software to the iPAQ Pocket PC.

8. Verify the success of the transfer by using the iPAQ Pocket PC’s File

Explorer to locate the sysmanipaq.cab file in the My Documents

folder. You can access the File Explorer by tapping Start, then

Programs, then File Explorer.

____________________ Note _____________________

Repeat the transfer if you do not see the sysmanipaq.cab in

the My Documents folder.

Proceed to Section 1.3 to install this software on the iPAQ Pocket PC.

Verify the installation by tapping Start. The command SysMan will be in

the Start menu.

1.4 Upgrading the Authentication Server

You may need to upgrade the Authentication Server on a Tru64 UNIX

system before you can access the SysMan Menu from the iPAQ Pocket PC.

Installing the Software 1–5

1.4.1 Upgrade Determination

There is an instance when you should not upgrade the authentication server.

If you have not installed patches to your Tru64 UNIX V5.1A system, you can

use the procedure in Section 1.4.2 to upgrade the Authentication Server. If

patches have been installed, or you are not sure, use the following procedure

to determine whether this applies to your system.

1. Invoke the dupatch utility, which is delivered with each patch kit.

The Main Menu is displayed.

2. Select item 4, “Patch Tracking”from the Main Menu.

The Patch Tracking Menu is displayed.

3. Select item 2, “List installed patches”from the Patch Tracking Menu.

The Patch Tracking Selection Menu is displayed.

4. Select item 3, “List All Files”from the Patch Tracking Selection Menu.

5. Look for /usr/share/sysman/web/classLib/smauth.jar in the

list of displayed files.

If this file is listed, do not upgrade the Authentication Server.

If this file is not listed, proceed to Section 1.4.2 to upgrade the

Authentication Server.

1.4.2 Upgrade Procedure

Use the following procedure to upgrade the authentication server:

1. Log in as root on the Tru64 UNIX system.

2. Change directory and back up the current Authentication Server.

# cd /usr/share/sysman/web/classLib

# cp smauth.jar smauth.jar.orig

3. The next step differs depending on the version of Tru64 UNIX you are

running.

If you are running Tru64 UNIX V5.1A :

Use a browser to download the Authentication Server from the

following web site: http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/ipaq.

If you have transferred this file as part of an archive, extract

the smauth.jar file from the archive and move it to the Tru64

UNIX system.
