.
  This document contains installation instructions specific to the HP-UX platform.

Please refer to the "Installation" section in the Eloquence B.08.40 Release Notes for information that is not HP-UX specific, such as licensing, configuration files and manual procedures when upgrading from prior Eloquence versions.

Supported HP-UX releases

HP-UX 11.31 on Itanium hardware. This version will no longer include any PA-RISC libraries for use with the Aries emulation. Please let us know if you require the Eloquence PA-RISC libraries on Itanium.

The Eloquence B.08.40 release no longer supports PA-RISC hardware and HP-UX versions before 11.31.

HP-UX patches

The following HP-UX patches (or superseding) are known to resolve issues affecting the Eloquence product. In addition to the patches mentioned below, additional patches may be required as well. We recommend to install the current HP-UX patch bundle.

  • PHCO_37116 - libxcurses cumulative patch

  • PHCO_42837 - librt cumulative patch

We recommend to install the HP-UX 11.31 AioEnh enhancement along with the patches PHKL_42844 and PHCO_42837 to allow for more efficient async disk i/o in eloqdb. (In case that the link becomes invalid, go to https://myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/ and search for AioEnh).

Database cryptographic functions

Eloquence uses the OpenSSL product for cryptographic functions. To use the current database password encryption method or the database encryption functionality, the HP-UX OpenSSL software must be installed.

The HP-UX OpenSSL software may be obtained from the HPE Software Center at HP-UX openssl product. At the time of this writing openSSL version 3.0 is current. (In case that the link becomes invalid, go to https://myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/ and search for OPENSSL11I).

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.

Eloquence-B0840-*-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. This build requires HP-UX 11.31 or later.

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

Installing the depot file

As "superuser" (root), follow the steps below to install the Eloquence software.
  1. Unpack the archive at a temporary location, such as /tmp or /var/tmp.
    /usr/contrib/bin/gzip -d Eloquence-B0840-*.depot.gz
    
    This uncompresses the depot file Eloquence-B0840-*.depot.gz to Eloquence-B0840-*.depot. The compressed archive file is deleted.

  2. Run "swinstall" by typing:
    /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/Eloquence-B0840-*.depot \*
    
    where /tmp/Eloquence-B0840-*.depot is the absolute path of the Eloquence-B0840-*.depot file.

Automatic startup of Eloquence server processes during system boot is configured in the /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence84 configuration file.
