2.2.4 Notes on packaging

• When registering the software under the /tmp directory, grant the users with the reference, update, and execute privileges so all the users can access the /tmp directory.

• The file attributes of the distributed packages (user IDs, ID groups, access modes) are the same as those of the packager.

• Start the system as a superuser when registering Hitachi program products, another company's software, and OS patches. Any user can start the system when registering user programs and user data.

• If another distribution-destination system is currently registering a resource into the cabinet that you attempt to register a resource into, you cannot register the resource. When the KDDM1528-Q message is displayed, press the Return key to re-execute registration.

• Packages registered to a Windows managing server by setting the prerequisite version, pre-installation process programs, and monitoring time will be invalid, regardless of whether the distribution-destination is a Windows or UNIX machine.

• When registering a Hitachi program product and distributing it from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, do not change the contents of the following programs if they are specified for external program processing after market software installation (external programs that are to be started immediately following installation):

  • For a Hitachi program product not for HP-UX: /NETMRDS/COM/ppsetup

  • For a Hitachi program product for HP-UX: /opt/NETMDMW/lbin/ppsetup

• Packaging from client workstation is not possible. To perform the packaging, you need to specify the target managing server in ManagingHost of the configuration file, specify [END] as the WorkstationType of the configuration file, and perform packaging to the managing server.

• JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent for UNIX can be used to remotely install Hitachi program products as a whole or in part. However, when packaging program products for distribution, you must package program products as a whole. (You cannot package only part of a program product.) In addition, when you use the rdslst command to display the ID of the whole or part of a program product, the IDs are not displayed in a hierarchy but are displayed on the same line.

• When you display file names or package attribute information included character code of the Japanese UTF-8 in the managing server, garbled characters might befound.

• When packaging, along with files and directories, resource information is also added to the package. Therefore, when packaging a file or directory that is about 2 gigabytes, the size will be increased by the size of resource information, and the package may exceed 2 gigabytes. When packaging files or directories close to 2 gigabytes, make sure their total size is at least 100 kilobytes smaller than 2 gigabytes.

• When packaging from agents in the following environments, if COMPRESS is specified in the Compress attribute of the registration or configuration file, it will be packaged without compression.

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 8 or earlier without the ncompress package installed on the operating system

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 9 or later

  If you want to compress, do the following:

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 8 or earlier:

  If you want to compress with compress, please install the ncompress package on the OS and then package it.

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 9 or later:

  Compression in compress is not supported. If you want to compress, specify COMMON for the Compress attribute and package it.
