HP-UX Platform Installation Notes
Supported HP-UX releases
Eloquence is supported on the HP-UX Operating System versions
B.10.01 to B.11.11. HP-UX version B.10.30 is not supported.
Future versions of Eloquence will no longer support HP-UX versions
before HP-UX 10.20. We recommend to update your system to HP-UX
release 11.00 or above.
Previous HP Eloquence versions
Eloquence B.06.32 can not be installed in parallel with any
previous HP Eloquence A.06.xx release. During installation, a previous
HP Eloquence A.06.xx product (B1368B-A0600) is uninstalled automatically,
any configuration files are retained.
Eloquence B.06.32 is installed in the /opt/eloquence6
directory and can be installed in parallel with a previous
HP Eloquence A.05.20 release.
License keys
Eloquence B.06.32 requires a license key version B.06.32 or above.
For a new Eloquence installation or when upgrading from a previous
Eloquence version a new license key must be obtained to use the
Eloquence server components.
To ease the update from a previous HP Eloquence release, a key
revision of A.06.31 is accepted as well.
Please request a permanent license key using the form included with
the delivery or refer to the Eloquence web site
at URL
http://eloquence.marxmeier.com/license.
During installation, you have the option to create a temporary
license key which is valid for four weeks.
The default license file includes a new license key for the
Eloquence Personal Edition.

Installation
Eloquence is available as a depot package and is installed with
swinstall. If you encounter a problem during installation, please
send us a notice at
support@marxmeier.com.
Please check the Eloquence web site for
updates and patches.
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.
-
Unpack the archive at a temporary location
gzip -d Eloquence-B0632-3.depot.gz
This unpacks Eloquence-B0632-3.depot.gz to Eloquence-B0632-3.depot.
The compressed archive file is deleted.
-
Run "swinstall" by typing:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/Eloquence-B0632-3.depot
where /tmp/Eloquence-B0632.depot is the absolute path of the
Eloquence-B0632.depot file.
-
In the Software Selection Window, select/highlight the product
options you would like to install then choose the "Mark for
Install" item from the Actions Menu.
The "Marked?" column will automatically be set to "Yes".

("Bundles and Products"). The following options are available:

license key can only be installed once per system

Select the "Install (analysis...)" item from the Actions Menu.
When the analysis is finished with no error, i.e. Status:Ready,
choose OK.
-
Choose Yes in the Confirmation window to begin the actual
installation process.
When the installation is completed, a dialog is displayed to
notify you that the install task is completed. You may exit then.
Note: during installation a warning message like below will
be issued when a HP Eloquence A.06.xx product is currently installed.
This warning does not indicate a problem but is a notification that
you are about to replace the HP Eloquence product with Eloquence.
WARNING: HP Eloquence (B1368B-A0600) is installed; it will be removed
Installing Eloquence will remove any previous HP Eloquence
product. Eloquence uses a different product number and
conflicts with an installed HP Eloquence A.06.xx product.
To update an existing Eloquence installation, please shut down
Eloquence using the command below:
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 stop
After the update has finished Eloquence can be started with
the command below:
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 start
Automatic startup of Eloquence servers during boot is only configured
in the /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6 configuration file.
Updating from a previous Eloquence version
When updating from a previous Eloquence release the following
actions should be performed in addition to updating the software.
License key
If you are using a commercial Eloquence version, please request your
new B.06.32 license key before updating Eloquence.
As an alternative you have the option to install a temporary license key
during installation which is valid for a period of four weeks.
A new license key can be requested by either submitting the form
enclosed with your software update or on-line at the Eloquence
web site:
http://eloquence.marxmeier.com/license.
Please comment out the previous license key when adding the new B.06.32
license key to your license file /etc/opt/eloquence6/license.
Otherwise the new license may not be recognized and chklic might
output the following messages:
A.06.30: Bad license key revision.
Duplicate sequence number: Ignoring license
Eloquence Personal Edition
With the Eloquence Personal Edition, please copy the B.06.32
license file template to /etc/opt/eloquence6/license. The new
license file includes an updated license key for the Eloquence
Personal Edition.
cp /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/config/license /etc/opt/eloquence6/license
Startup configuration
The B.06.32 startup script provides additional configuration options
and uses a new startup configuration file template which supports
multiple eloqdb6 instances. Previous startup configuration files are
compatible. It is recommended to use a new template configuration file
and manually change any options.
The startup configuration file is /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6
cp /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/startup/eloquence6 /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6
