Hi.

Does ISconf run on HP-UX, please?

My environment consists of Red Hat and HP-UX.  I couldn't find a list of 
supported operating systems on www.ISconf.org.

> Does ISconf run on HP-UX, please?

I'm just lurking the list, no first hand experience with isconf on
HP-UX, but according
to a post from Jan 2006 it should work if your python has threading support.
I guess that would most safely apply to the python in HP's internet
express bundle, same applies for my own box. I'd test isconf for you,
but 'see above' ;)

That's the python on my box
  Python.PYTHON-RUN: /opt/iexpress/python/bin/python2.4

Florian

Thank for your reply, Florian.

I downloaded the latest python from HP Internet Express (8.00-2.5), and it 
does have threading support.

Is anybody on this list using ISconf to manage HP-UX boxes?

I am looking for a systems configuration management solution for my 
environment (Red Hat and HP-UX).  Want to find out if ISconf might be 
suitable.

Best,
Aleksey

Hi.  I am new to ISconf.  Just downloaded it and looking for the "rabbit" 
program mentioned on www.infrastructures.org, to make ad hoc change to a 
number of systems.

Don't seem to see it...  Is it packaged separately?

Thanks,
Aleksey

systemimager + isconfv4 "deprecates" a lot of the original bootstrap
paper.=20

To answer your questions about HPUX, I have no HPUX machines, but if
isconf will run on them, you should be good. I'd set up a test network
to get a feel for the tool first if I were you.

Come hang out on irc!

Thanks, Sean! 

I ended up using pdsh (Parallel Distributed SHell, 
http://www.llnl.gov/linux/pdsh/) as an ad hoc change tool.

I did in 1 minute what used to take me 20.  Good stuff!

Any plans to update the data on infrastructures.org?

We just exceeded 50 boxes at my site and I'm switching from managing them 
as individual servers to managing them as a system.   I just created a 
global sudoers file, for example. 

I have to setup a configuration management system; we have mostly Red Hat 
and HP-UX boxes, and I am leaning towards CFengine as it's part of HP-UX 
now (included in the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities kit).

Truly,
Aleksey

FYI I just recently finished adding a platform support section to the
wikipedia CM system comparison article [1]; I couldn't find a list
either (other than the mention of Linux and Solaris in the man page on
the website), but asked Steve (ISconf's author) to look at the page,
and he marked all of the *nix based platforms as supported, including
HP-UX. In IRC conversation he said something along the lines of great
care was taken to make sure that it would run on all *nix platforms,
and because of its management model I don't think the platform
differences should effect the operation of the tool (e.g. it doesn't
matter that the tool doesn't know what a swdepot is).
