2 Installing Eloquence on the HP-UX platform

Installation on HP-UX

Eloquence B.07.00 on the HP-UX platform requires HP-UX release 10.20 (HP9000, PA-RISC) or HP-UX 11.23 (HP Integrity, Itanium) or later and is installed in the /opt/eloquence6 directory.

Eloquence is installed and updated using the swinstall operating system utility.

The Eloquence installation archives may be obtained from a CD-ROM media or downloaded from the Internet. The installation procedure with both versions is the same once swinstall is started.

Installing from CD-ROM media

As "superuser" follow the steps below to install the Eloquence software.

mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

For previous HP-UX versions that don't support the "Rock Ridge" extensions, a command line like below may be used

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

where /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 is the device file associated with the CD-ROM drive and
/cdrom is the directory where the CD-ROM should be mounted. Please refer to the mount_cdfs(1M) man page for more information.

The Eloquence software for the HP-UX platform is in the B0700/hpux subdirectory.

* Eloquence-B0700-1.depot - PA-RISC 1.1 based systems

* Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot - PA-RISC 2.0 based systems

* Eloquence-B0700-1-ia64.depot - Itanium based systems

/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom/B0700/hpux/Eloquence-B0700-1.depot

where /cdrom is the directory where the cdrom is mounted.

NOTE: Because HP-UX versions before 11.11 do not support the Rock-Ridge CD-ROM extensions all file names are lower case (if mounted with the cdcase option) and files may have an extra dot (.) at the end. However file names in this document are listed in mixed case.

Download Installation

Eloquence can be downloaded from the Eloquence web site at:
http://www.marxmeier.com/eloquence/download

Download the appropriate version of Eloquence for your HP-UX system

Eloquence installation files downloaded from the Eloquence ftp server are compressed with gzip and must be uncompressed before installation.

As "superuser" follow the steps below to install the Eloquence software.

gzip -d Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot.gz

This unpacks Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot.gz to Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot. The compressed archive file is deleted.

/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot

where /tmp/Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot is the the absolute path of the Eloquence-B0700-1-pa20.depot file.

Eloquence_Tmplic
