RE: [nv-l] Cisco PIX Monitoring

[McGuire Larry G <Larry.G.McGuire@irs.gov>]

In my FP03 download the name of the file is "PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0.SunOS.V714", so maybe just do a 'tar -tvf | grep -i readme' and you'll find the correct file name to extract.

Sigh (right back at you). I tried to extract it from FP03 (since that was the latest one ) I get the following error.

File PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0 not present in the archive.
I ran the following command.

zcat 7.1.4-TIV-NVD-AIX-FP0003.tar.Z | tar -xvf - PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0

I haven't tried FP02 but if anyone has the pdf file, just email it to me. Should I open a pmr?

Sigh.  It seems that every time I point something out in the Release Notes that I personally did not work on, it turns out there is a problem with it. Well, I didn't work on Cisco Pix Firewall failover monitoring either, and now there is an internal APAR (IY70015) for the fact that the pdf file, /usr/OV/doc/PixFailoverReadme.pdf, while it is on the FixPack CDs, is not being installed.

Here's how you can get it if you have the CD
UNIX :

Users who have the UNIX FixPack  can retrieve the file by simply typing:

$ zcat {FixPack} | tar -xvf - PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0

at the command line, where {FixPack} is the file containing the fix pack, and then copying it over to the doc directory under its correct name. For example, if the user has the fix pack CD mounted on /mnt on an AIX box, they can type

$zcat /mnt/7.1.4-TIV-NVD-AIX-FP0003.tar.Z |  tar -xvf - PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0 $ mv PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0 /usr/OV/doc/PixFailoverReadme.pdf

Windows:

For Windows customers, its even easier - they simply have to execute the fix pack executable as if they were going to install it, and the file PixFailoverReadme.pdf.0 will be in the same directory as the install script.  They can then copy or move it to the desired destination directory in the same manner as for UNIX boxes.

If it does not answer all your questions, then feel free to ask them again.
