SCO HipCheck Unix Agent for UnixWare 7.1.x and Open UNIX 8 - Download Information


Preferred Installation Method

UnixWare 7.1.x and Open UNIX 8 HcSCOUA patchck-based installation procedure

Installation of the dependent packages, and of the HipCheck agent itself, is simplified by use of SCO's patchck software management utility. Follow these instructions.

First, you must download patchck if you do not already have it. This utility is gotten from SCO's ftp site here. Save the patchck tarball to /tmp and use this command to extract it: zcat /tmp/patchck.tar.Z | tar xvf -.

Now, execute patchck to do HipCheck agent installation: /etc/patchck -hipcheck. The patchck utility will download and install the packages listed below, if they are not present on your system already, and then it will download and install the HipCheck agent.

On UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0 (UnixWare 7.1.2), sometimes kernel virtual memory tunables are not as high as they need to be to run Tomcat and the HipCheck agent. If this is the case, you will get a diagnostic at HipCheck agent install time. To change the tunables, do the following: 

     # /etc/conf/bin/idtune -m HVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
     # /etc/conf/bin/idtune -m HDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
     # /etc/conf/bin/idtune -m SVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
     # /etc/conf/bin/idtune -m SDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF
     # /etc/conf/bin/idbuild
and then reboot to rebuild the kernel. For UnixWare 7.1.3 and later, the tunables default to the desired values.

Detailed Installation Method

If you do not use the patchck-based installation procedure, you can download the necessary dependent packages listed below, for those your system does not already have, and install them each with pkgadd, and then download the HcSCOUA HipCheck agent package itself as specified below, and again install with pkgadd.
