System requirements
Eloquence requires disk space in the /etc, /opt and /var file systems
as indicated below:
- Integrity systems
-
Temporary disk space for unpacking the distribution file: 70 MB
File systems: /opt 60 MB, /etc 1 MB, /var 1 MB
- HP9000 systems
-
Temporary disk space for unpacking the distribution file: 50 MB
File systems: /opt 40 MB, /etc 1 MB, /var 1 MB
Database cryptographic functions
Eloquence uses the OpenSSL product for cryptographic functions.
To enable the updated password encryption scheme or use the
database encryption, the HP OpenSSL software must be installed.
HP OpenSSL may be obtained from the HP Software Depot web site.

Installation
Eloquence is available as a depot package and is installed with the HP-UX
swinstall utility.
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-B0830-*-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-B0830-*-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.
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
- 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.
Installing the depot file
As "superuser" (root), follow the steps below to install the Eloquence
software.
-
Unpack the archive at a temporary location, such as /tmp or /var/tmp.
/usr/contrib/bin/gzip -d Eloquence-B0830-*.depot.gz
This uncompresses the depot file Eloquence-B0830-*.depot.gz
to Eloquence-B0830-*.depot. The compressed archive file is deleted.
- Run "swinstall" by typing:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/Eloquence-B0830-*.depot
where /tmp/Eloquence-B0830-*.depot is the absolute path
of the Eloquence-B0830-*.depot file.
- 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".
- 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.
Automatic startup of Eloquence server processes during system boot is configured in
the /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence83 configuration file.
