This topic describes the procedure for applying the United Linux™ Service
Pack 3 updates to a metadata server.
Prerequisites
Apply the updates only after completing an initial installation of
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 on the metadata server
engine, as described in
Installing the operating system. Applying the service pack updates might take a while
to complete.
Steps
- Insert the United Linux Service Pack CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
drive.
- Mount the CD-ROM:
mount /media/cdrom/
- Run the installation script:
/media/cdrom/install.sh
- Select Option 1 - Update System to Service Pack 3 level.
- After the updates have been applied, you are prompted to quit.
Press Enter.
- Unmount the CD-ROM drive.
umount /media/cdrom/
- Remove the CD-ROM from the drive.
- Reboot the engine and log in as root.
shutdown -r now
- 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
