If you are missing the HP-UX 11.11 kernel patch PHKL_30542 the database server process will not start.

System requirements

PA-RISC based systems

Temporary disk space for unpacking the distribution file: 50 MB
File systems: /opt 40 MB, /etc 1 MB, /var 1 MB

Itanium2 based systems

Temporary disk space for unpacking the distribution file: 70 MB
File systems: /opt 60 MB, /etc 1 MB, /var 1 MB

Database encryption

Eloquence uses the OpenSSL product for cryptographic functions. To use database encryption, the HP OpenSSL software must be installed.

HP OpenSSL may be obtained from the HP Software Depot web site.
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=OPENSSL11I

For HP-UX 11iv1 (HP-UX 11.11) it is recommended to install the KRNG kernel support for strong random numbers in addition. It is available from the HP Software Depot web site.

Installation

Eloquence installation files available for download from the Eloquence web site are compressed with gzip and must be uncompressed before installation.

Different versions of the Eloquence software is available. Please choose the appropriate version which corresponds to your hardware:

Eloquence-B0810-*-ia64.depot.gz

This Eloquence depot file should be used for HP Integrity systems (Itanium platform). It installs both 32 bit and 64 bit components and also includes limited support for PA-RISC applications using the ARIES PA-RISC emulation. This build requires HP-UX 11.23 or later.

Eloquence-B0810-*-pa20.depot.gz

Eloquence depot file (PA-RISC 2.0). This is the default installation depot for PA-RISC based systems. It should work an almost all PA-RISC systems and supports both 32 and 64 bit applications. This build requires HP-UX 11.11 or later.

Eloquence-B0810-*-pa11.depot.gz

Eloquence depot file (PA-RISC 1.1). This installation depot is intended to support historic PA-RISC hardware and should only by used on legacy 32 bit PA-RISC systems. This build requires HP-UX 11.11 or later.

Please notice: Support for the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture for Eloquence B.08.10 is currently not planned and the PA11 build is only available on request. Please contact the Eloquence support.

The asterisk (*) denotes the version of the installation archive. Higher numbers indicate a newer installation archive.

The following steps may be used to find out which Eloquence build to install. On the HP-UX command line please run the model command.

  $ model
  ia64 hp server rx2600

  $ model
  9000/800/rp3440
  $ getconf KERNEL_BITS
  64

• If the model command output starts with "ia64" then this is an Itanium based Integrity system and the ia64 build should be installed.

• If the model command output starts with "9000/800" then this is a PA-RISC HP9000 based system. The getconf KERNEL_BITS command may be used to find out if the PA11 build is required.
  • If the getconf KERNEL_BITS command outputs 32 then the PA11 build must be used.
  • If the getconf KERNEL_BITS command outputs 64 then the PA20 build should be used.

Installing the depot file

1. Unpack the archive at a temporary location, such as /tmp or /var/tmp.

   /usr/contrib/bin/gzip -d Eloquence-B0810-*.depot.gz
   

   This uncompresses the depot file Eloquence-B0810-*.depot.gz to Eloquence-B0810-*.depot. The compressed archive file is deleted.

2. Run "swinstall" by typing:

   /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/Eloquence-B0810-*.depot
   

   where /tmp/Eloquence-B0810-*.depot is the absolute path of the Eloquence-B0810-*.depot file.

3. In the Software Selection Window, select/highlight the Eloquence product then choose the "Mark for Install" item from the Actions menu. The "Marked?" column will automatically be set to "Yes".

4. Select the "Install (analysis...)" item from the Actions Menu. When the analysis is finished with no error, i.e. Status:Ready, choose OK.

5. 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.

Please check the Eloquence web site for any updates or recommended patches: http://eloquence.marxmeier.com/support/B0810

Automatic startup of Eloquence server processes during system boot is configured in the /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence81 configuration file.

Uninstalling Eloquence B.08.10

/sbin/init.d/eloq81 stop

/usr/sbin/swremove Eloquence-B0810

Please note that any changed files (typically customized configuration files) are not removed. If necessary they need to be removed manually.

Eloquence B.08.10 is installed in the following directories:

• /opt/eloquence/8.1
• /etc/opt/eloquence/8.1
• /var/opt/eloquence/8.1
