ATTENTION DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 does not include any software changes beyond those in support of the new hardware. However, new systems are shipped with all the appropriate patches installed from the latest "Best Recipe" CD.
To complete the installation, perform the following steps:
[ ] | Install and flash the NUMA console software. Then run the sysdef command in the VCS CLI window to define the system. See the NUMA Console Software Release Notes. |
[ ] | Boot the operating system. |
[ ] | Install the appropriate layered products with the ROOT installation method. |
[ ] | Build the kernel and reboot the operating system. |
[ ] | Install the "Best Recipe" CD. This CD must be installed after all additional layered products have been installed. Refer to the README file on the CD for installation directions. |
[ ] | Complete product-specific tasks. See Chapter 9. |
[ ] | Create a custom miniroot. See the DYNIX/ptx V4.4 System Recovery and Troubleshooting Guide. |
DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 is supported on IBM xSeries 430 systems and NUMA-Q® 2000 system. It is not supported on CSM/SSM-based (Symmetry®) systems. Symmetry systems do not support the Intel 900 MHz Pentium® III Xeon processor, which is available only for the Centurion Quads in NUMA-Q 2000 systems. References to Symmetry systems in these release notes should be disregarded.
ATTENTION Before the upgrade to DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9, a patch to prevent device name slippage must be installed on NUMA systems running DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2 with a patch level earlier than Issue 7. See "Install Device Naming Patch" later in this chapter, for more information.
ATTENTION DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 does not include any software changes beyond those in support of the new hardware. This may require you to reinstall fastpatches that you have already installed. Included with the DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 release is the latest "Best Recipe" CD, which includes level 2 fastpatches. You should install this CD on your system as part of the DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 release set.
If you received a patch after the publication date of the "Best Recipe" CD or if you have a level-0 or -1 fastpatch on your system, you may be required to temporarily deinstall these patches in order to load the "Best Recipe" CD. After the patches on the CD are loaded, you must explicitly reinstall the level-0 and -1 fastpatches since they are not included on the "Best Recipe" CD.
Rolling upgrades of clustered systems can be performed only if both nodes of the cluster are currently running either DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2, V4.4.4, V4.4.5, V4.4.6, V4.4.7, or V4.4.8 and the corresponding layered products and firmware. If the nodes are running earlier versions of software, they must be upgraded one-at-a-time.
Rolling upgrades for IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 clusters can be performed only by Customer Support personnel. Contact your service representative for assistance.
[ ] | If your system is currently running DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2 with a patch level earlier than Issue 7, you must install fast patch 243144, which prevents device name slippage. This patch must be installed before upgrading the operating system. See "Install Device Naming Patch" later in this chapter.
| ||
[ ] | Gather the materials needed for the installation. See "Installation Materials" later in this chapter. | ||
[ ] | Gather current information about your system. See "Obtain System Information" later in this chapter. | ||
[ ] | Determine the software products that need to be installed. See "Upgrade Notes" later in this chapter. Also review the later section "Software Dependencies," which lists layered products that require the installation of other products. | ||
[ ] | Verify that your system meets the requirements for running DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9. See "System Requirements" in Chapter 2. Also review "Operational Restrictions" in Chapter 2. | ||
[ ] | If your system includes an EMC disk storage subsystem, verify that it is running the correct version of the EMC firmware. See "Requirements for EMC Disk Subsystems" in Chapter 2. | ||
[ ] | Back up your current software. See "Back Up System Files and Configuration Information" in Chapter 2. | ||
[ ] | Gather your license key information for those software products that require licensing. See "Software Licensing" in Chapter 2. | ||
[ ] | Deinstall any unsupported software. See "Deinstall Unsupported Software" in Chapter 2. | ||
[ ] | Perform pre-installation tasks for the products that you will be installing. Be sure to complete the steps in the section for ptx/TCP/IP. See "Product-Specific Pre-Installation Information" in Chapter 2. | ||
[ ] | Determine the type of installation you will be performing and plan your installation strategy. If you are not familiar with the installation types, see Chapter 3. |
[ ] | Install the new software. Select one of these options: |
[ ] | Review the installation log file and resolve any errors. Output from the installation is written to the screen and to the log file/usr/options/<product>/progress_log.<installation_date-time>. This log file is placed on the target installation disk when the installation is complete. | ||
[ ] | During the installation, ptx/INSTALL will attempt to update the /etc/vfstab file on the target disk to point to the new root disk. If it is unable to do so, it will write a warning message to the screen and to the log file. If you see this message, be sure to update the /installmnt/etc/vfstab file manually on the target disk. | ||
[ ] | Modify the /etc/inetd.conf file if necessary. See "ptx/TCP/IP" in the section "Product-Specific Tasks" in Chapter 9. | ||
[ ] | Resolve file conflicts if you have not done so already. See Appendix B. | ||
[ ] | If auditing is enabled on your system, ensure that the root account has a password and that at least one other user account exists and has a password.
| ||
[ ] | If you broke a ptx/SVM mirror and installed on a plex, return the device where the installation was performed to the rootdg. See "Prepare to Reboot the System" in Chapter 4. | ||
[ ] | If you need to install the console software, shut down the operating system and install and flash the software, including the stand-alone kernel (sak.dat) and bootstrap program (ptxldr.elf), from the NUMA Console software CD-ROM. See the NUMA Console Software Release Notes.
| ||
[ ] | Reboot the operating system.
| ||
[ ] | Perform a ROOT installation of any remaining layered products. See Chapter 6. Review the installation log files to resolve any errors. | ||
[ ] | Build the kernel and reboot the operating system. See Chapter 8, "Build a Custom Kernel." | ||
[ ] | From single-user mode, install the "Best Recipe" CD. This CD contains the latest level-2 fastpatches. Refer to the README file on the CD for installation directions.
| ||
[ ] | If you installed the Fibre Channel Switch, Bridge, or Host Adapter software, download it as described in the DYNIX/ptx V4.4.x Fibre Channel Software Release Notes.
| ||
[ ] | Remove installation directories that are no longer needed. See "Remove Unneeded Installation Directories" in Chapter 9. | ||
[ ] | For installations on an alternate disk, sync files between the original root disk and the alternate disk. (This step is optional. It locates files on the original root disk that were changed after the image of the root filesystem was copied to the alternate disk.) See "Sync Files Between the Original Root Disk and the Alternate Disk" in Chapter 9. | ||
[ ] | Complete other post-installation steps as described under "Product-Specific Tasks" in Chapter 9. | ||
[ ] | Create a custom miniroot for your system. See "Create a Custom Miniroot" in Chapter 9. Also see Chapter 1 in the DYNIX/ptx System Recovery and Troubleshooting Guide. | ||
[ ] | If you installed on a mirrored plex, reestablish the mirror of the root volume. See "Mirror the Original Root Partition to the Upgraded Root Volume," Chapter 4. |
ATTENTION If you have installed either the "Software Patches Issue 7" or "Software Patches Issue 8" CD, you do not need to install fast patch 243144. This fast patch is included in the DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2.5 patch provided with the Issue 7 and Issue 8 CDs.
Before upgrading an IBM xSeries 430 or NUMA-Q 2000 system from DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2 to DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9, you must install fastpatch 243144 on your system. This patch prevents device name slippage. If this patch is not installed, devices on the PCI bus can be assigned the wrong name when the system is booted after the upgrade to V4.4.9. You may then see messages such as device not found when the system attempts to access an expected device name.
When the patch is installed, it determines the existing names of all PCI devices. When the system is then booted on the new kernel, a script will run that matches the PCI devices with their correct names. This script is run only once-during the boot following the installation of the patch. Device names will be assigned correctly on subsequent reboots.
To ensure that the patch works correctly, be sure that all devices have permanent names before the patch is installed. Also, do not rename any devices between the time that you install the patch and when you reboot the kernel.
This patch must be installed on both nodes of a clustered system.
Obtain the patch from the latest patch CD and refer to the README file on the CD for installation instructions.
After you have installed the patch, compiled the kernel, and rebooted, you can proceed with the DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 upgrade.
The following CD-ROMs are needed for the installation:
Patch for Upgrading from DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2 (for IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 upgrades from DYNIX/ptx V4.4.2 only)
DYNIX/ptx V4.4.9 Operating System and Layered Products Software, 08/01, Revision B
Best Recipe, 06/01, Revision A
Systems Management Software (for DYNIX/ptx V4.4.4 to V4.4.x), 12/99, Revision F (optional, contains CommandPoint products)
NUMA Console V1.7.6 Software, 06/01, Revision A
In addition to these release notes, you will also need the following documents:
You may also need to refer to layered product release notes for configuration information.
Gather the following information about your system:
Currently installed software and firmware. Check /etc/versionlog or use the ptx/ADMIN "List Software Packages" option (select System Administration -> Software Management -> List Software Packages).
Whether auditing is enabled. Run the audit command with no options.
The kernel environment type. Check the value of the environment directive in the file /etc/conf/uts/symmetry/unix.<kernel_name>.
The current root partition. Run the /etc/bootflags command and check the setting for the n0 string.
The Emulex version of the Fibre Channel Host Adapters. Run the /etc/showcfg command and check the entries for the FF devices. Emulex version 3 is referred to as hw ver 3; Emulex version 4 is referred to as hw ver 4. If your system has Emulex version 3 Host Adapters, install Fibre Channel Host Adapter software version V2.3.0 (FF2.30). If you have Emulex version 4 Host Adapters, install version V3.2.2 (SF3.22a).
