7.8 Configuring Operating System-Specific Services
Some WEBES services are only appropriate for certain versions of the supported operating systems. This is usually because the earlier, older versions of the operating system do not provide the necessary support. Normally, WEBES determines which services are supported by the OS during installation and copies the necessary files. However, if you upgrade your system's OS version, you may want to add the version dependent services manually. The following sections describe the services that may need to be manually configured.
7.8.1 Drape
Drape is supported on systems running Tru64 UNIX v5.0 and newer. It provides event translation support for the Event Management (EVM) event viewer. The event viewer provides a graphical view of historical events through the common system management interface. The viewer can be launched through the SysMan Menu or through the SysMan Station. Refer to the sysman(8) reference page for more information.
If you upgrade your Tru64 UNIX system to a version that supports Drape, use the following procedure to configure the service:
- Access the /usr/opt/hp/svctools/common/ca/install directory and locate the two enabling configuration files:
- Copy the configuration files to the /usr/opt/hp/svctools/specific/desta/config directory.
- Execute the DESTA ChangeEnrollments command:
/usr/sbin/desta exec com.compaq.svctools.desta.configuration.ChangeEnrollments -enroll ConfigDefaultsDRAPE.txtThe next time WEBES is started, the Drape service will be activated.
7.8.2 Indictment
The Indictment service is supported on both Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS systems. It enables the system to automatically detect and shut down failing CPUs and certain PCI boards in order to avoid system crashes. Refer to the operating system documentation for more information on component indictment. The following sections describe how to configure Indictment on Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS systems.
7.8.2.1 Tru64 UNIX
Indictment is supported on Tru64 UNIX v5.1 Rev 573 and newer.
You can use the sizer -v command to check the operating system version and revision number.
In order to configure the Indictment service, use the following procedure:
- Access the /usr/opt/hp/svctools/common/ca/install directory and locate the enabling configuration file ConfigDefaultsIndictment.txt.
- Copy the enabling configuration file to the /usr/opt/hp/svctools/specific/desta/config directory.
- Run the DESTA ChangeEnrollments command:
/usr/sbin/desta exec com.compaq.svctools.desta.configuration.ChangeEnrollments -enroll ConfigDefaultsIndictment.txtThe next time WEBES is started, the Indictment service will be activated.
7.8.2.2 OpenVMS
Indictment is supported on OpenVMS V7.3-2 and newer. To configure Indictment on an upgraded system, use the following procedure:
- Access the SVCTOOLS_HOME:[common.ca.install] directory and locate the enabling configuration file ConfigDefaultsIndictment.txt.
- Copy the enabling configuration file to the SVCTOOLS_HOME:[specific.desta.config] directory.
- Run DESTA ChangeEnrollments command:
desta exec "com.compaq.svctools.desta.configuration.ChangeEnrollments" "-enroll" "ConfigDefaultsIndictment.txt"The next time WEBES is started, the Indictment service will be activated.
