\nThe purpose of this post is to provide a basic idea about HP Radia technology.Hope this will be interesting for you!!!<\/p>\n

HP Radia is basically a complete deployment solution,where as we can repackages applications too.We can create Radia native packages and publish MSIs and Setup files to Radia Database for distribution.It has additional features like OS managemet,patch management,inventory management etc..<\/p>\n

1.What are the basic Radia Infrastructure components?<\/p>\n

Radia Configuration Server<\/p>\n

Radia Client<\/p>\n

Radia Proxy Server<\/p>\n

Radia Administrator Tools<\/p>\n

2.What is RCS
\nRCS stands for Radia Configuration Server .It stores data for all applications and maintains the policy.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It Stores all data in an Object Orientated DataBase<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Stores desired state of all applications<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Stores all data for all applications<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Maintains Policy in an internal database, or can retrieve Policy from any LDAP compliant external database.<\/p>\n

3.What is Radia Client<\/p>\n

The Radia client is in charge of maintaining Software and configuration management on client machines.<\/p>\n

4.In What are all the OS Radia client can be used?
\n\u00b7 Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, and Windows 95<\/p>\n

\u00b7 HP-UX, Sun OS<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Linux<\/p>\n

\u00b7 MAC OS<\/p>\n

5.What are all the basic functions that a Radia Client will perform with other Radia Infrastructure devices during the installation of Software.
\n1. Policy Resolution<\/p>\n

2. Desired State Resolution<\/p>\n

3. Data Download<\/p>\n

6.What is Radia Proxy Server<\/p>\n

Provides a network location where Radia clients can get files needed to bring applications to proper desired state.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It Provides data only, not Policy or Desired State information<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It Utilizes two types of cache, static and dynamic<\/p>\n

7.What are all the special instances in RCS database
\nBase and Null<\/p>\n

\u2022 A Base Instance attribute can be found in every class in the database. The Base instance defines the \u201ctemplate\u201d that all other instances in the same class will be built from.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Null Instance is found in the Policy Domain inside of the User Class. The Null instance defines the behavior of any client connection that does not have a matching instance inside of the User class.<\/p>\n

8.What is the use of install.ini<\/p>\n

The install.ini file can be referenced during a client installation to modify and augment the installation process.<\/p>\n

9.What is the difference of static cache and Dynamic cache With Static Cache, a Radia Proxy Server is \u201cpre-loaded\u201d with application data before clients attempt to perform an installation.<\/p>\n

With Dynamic Cache, client request data from a Radia Proxy Server. The Radia Proxy Server does not have the data requested, and will then request the data from an upstream host.<\/p>\n

10.What is The command used in Radia to install, update, and verify mandatory applications ?
\n\u2018radskman\u2019 command<\/p>\n

11.What is the difference of Mandatory and optional applicationsin Radia databse

\u2022 Optional applications are installed by users with the Radia Software Manager Interface.<\/p>\n

12.What is RSERVICE
\nThis is an obect Radia configuration Server creates with a list of the applications a machine\/user has been entitled.<\/p>\n

13.What are all the Radia Client Installation Methods<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Installation Wizard (e.g. setup.exe)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Logon Script<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Radia Management Portal<\/p>\n

14.How to export an application from Radia database.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Drag application on ZCOMMAND<\/p>\n

TREEXPRT<\/p>\n

\u2022 Check EXPORT directory<\/p>\n

15.How to import an application from Radia database<\/p>\n

\u2022 Create ZSERVICE instance<\/p>\n

\u2022 Drag application on ZCOMMAND<\/p>\n

TREEMPRT<\/p>\n

\u2022 Check successful import<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
