BIND installation.

[Jestin John Chacko]

Dear,

I had downloaded BIND from the software depot of hp but i got DNSUPGRADE_C.9.3.2.4.0_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot. Can i apply this in a fresh server in which no prior version of BIND is found using the swlist command.

Is it the correct way to install BIND also the documentataion tells that i need to do the below steps

NOTE: Ensure that the DNSUPGRADE.PHNE_33766 product or the DNSUPGRADE.PHNE_34226 product is installed before installing the DNSUPGRADE.BindUpgrade product. If you have installed the PHNE_33766 or PHNE_34226 patch or any of its superseding patches, you need not install the DNSUPGRADE.PHNE_33766 or DNSUPGRADE.PHNE_34226 product.



Is it applicable for me.what should i do first to install BIND in this server
Please help......

Hello,

This is an upgrade. As you do not have bind installed, you must make a clean install.

See the documentation at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/5900-0161/ch01s05.html

You can find here the direct link for downloading version 9.3.2(or 9.0):

Best regards,
Horia.

As per your Question itself you have your answers, you have downloaded the ugrade version of "BIND" and you say you d'not have any previous Installed "BIND" ... :)

so you must Install "Standard BIND" software depot has per the documentation,

than on top of that you need to Ugrade /update with latest version which you currently downloaded.

As per you current upgrade download "pre-request" its "BindUpgrade product" should exist that's the basic concept.

Hope this will give you clear "Understanding"

A standard installation of HP-UX 11.23 (even just a Foundation OE) always includes BIND 9.2.0 by default, as a standard part of the OS.

This "basic BIND" is not listed as a separate item in swlist, at least not with the default product-level listing. You may have to drill down to the fileset level to see it. ("swlist -l fileset" on the command line)

Yes, you can install the DNSUPGRADE*.depot even into a fresh server. It's an upgrade in the sense of "improvement over the standard installation".
