Chapter 4. Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on HP-UX 11i

38

IMPORTANT

When the new JDK is installed for Directory Server 8.1, it is no longer possible to manage
older instances of Directory Server using the Directory Server Console because the
required JDKs for the different Directory Server versions are different. You must migrate
any older instance to Directory Server 8.1 if you need to manage that instance with the
Directory Server Console.

Download the JDK from

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/

, and install it according to the HP

Java instructions.

After installing the JDK, install the Directory Server packages, as described in

Section 4.2, “Installing

the Directory Server Packages”

.

4.2. Installing the Directory Server Packages

The Directory Server packages for HP-UX 11i are included in an SD package which can be
downloaded from HP.

For complete instructions on installing the Red Hat Directory Server packages on HP-UX, see the HP-
specific release notes at

http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html#Netscape%20Directory%20Server/Red

%20Hat%20Directory%20Server

. After the Directory Server packages are installed, run the

setup

program to set up and configure the default Directory Server instance and the Administration Server.

/opt/dirsrv/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl

Accept the initial screens for licensing and

dsktune

output, then select the setup type, and proceed

with configuring the new Directory Server instance.

Section 4.3, “Express Setup”

•

Section 4.4, “Typical Setup”

•

Section 4.5, “Custom Setup”

NOTE

Directory Server version 8.1 conforms to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standards. This
means that the directories and files are in different locations than previous versions. For
more information on FHS, see the

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/

homepage. For a table

showing the new file locations, see

Section 7.1, “Directory Server File Locations”

.

4.3. Express Setup

Use express installation if you are installing Directory Server for an evaluation or trial. Because
express installation does not offer the choice of selecting the Directory Server server port number
or the directory suffix, among other settings, Red Hat recommends not using it for production
deployments.
