This topic describes the procedure for applying the United Linux Service Pack 3 updates to a metadata server.

Prerequisites

Apply the updates only after performing an initial installation of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8.0 on the metadata server engine.
Tip: The process of applying the service pack updates might take a while to complete.

Steps

  1. Insert the United Linux Service Pack CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
  2. Mount the CD-ROM:
    mount /media/cdrom/
  3. Run the installation script:
    /media/cdrom/install.sh
  4. Select Option 1 - Update System to Service Pack 3 level.
  5. After the updates have been applied, you are prompted to quit. Press Enter.
  6. Unmount the CD-ROM drive.
    umount /media/cdrom/
  7. Remove the CD-ROM from the drive.
  8. Reboot the engine and log in as root.
  9. Verify that the required kernel level is installed:
    rpm –qa | grep –e k_smp –e kernel
    The correct kernel level should be listed:
    # rpm -qa |grep -e k_smp -e kernel
    k_smp-2.4.21-138
    kernel-source-2.4.21-138
