HIDS agent error.

[Kellogg Unix Team]

Hi Den,

At this point, I will check if something is different on your server because the problem changed when you installed server and client on the same box. It may be patch issue. The server needs Java RTE 1.3.x but I am assuming that those prereqs are completed.

If you have a spare box, you may load it with hpux-11.11 and retry. Involving HP Support is another option.

Thanks

Den -

Let me know if you are still having problems with IDS/9000.

The "can't open schedule file" error is expected if no schedule has yet been downloaded by the admin to the agent and you are starting the agent using the /sbin/init.d/idsagent startup script or if you are running /opt/ids/bin/idsagent with the -a option.

Assuming that you attempted to get the status of the agent using the admin GUI and it returns "Not available" even though an agent is running, there is a defect that has been fixed for this type of failure. The fix will be in the next minor release of HP-UX Host IDS (new name for IDS/9000) which is currently scheduled to be available sometime around late Spring.
