[HP SIM Linux] make a static install

[blacksun]

Hi, i want to make a static installation of HPSIM-Linux; so all files have to be installed under /opt/hpsim. (Including logfiles etc.)
After that i want to make an rpm (redhat package) out of it. Is that possible?

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'static install' -- once HP SIM is running, it definitely is not static!

See the "HP SIM Linux Installation and Configuration Guide" from http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Information Library for manually installing on page 23.

The .bin package incorporates the RPMs necessary for the different distros supported and a configuration script. You can run the .bin with the --keep and --noexec switches to extract the RPMs without installing.

Short answer: there are multiple RPMs. You can extract and separately execute the RPMs you want, but then there are additional manual setup steps.

Yeah blacksun,

SIM Linux already has rpms inside ".bin". what exactly you want?
