ptx/INSTALL provides an installation procedure for installing DYNIX/ptx®, layered products, and the system software. You do not need to install the ptx®/INSTALL product; it is installed on your system automatically.
ptx/INSTALL is invoked from the ptx/ADMIN menu system. (Use System Administration -> Software Management.) It provides four installation methods: ALT DISK DELTA, INIT ALT DISK DELTA, ROOT, and SCRATCH. Chapter 3 describes these methods.

The following installation changes have been made in the V4.5.x releases:
/usr can no longer be a separate filesystem. If you currently have separate root and /usr filesystems, you must use the INIT ALT DISK DELTA installation procedure to upgrade to V4.5.2. This procedure will combine root and usr into a single root filesystem.
Increased disk space requirement. The minimum size for the root filesystem is now 2GB. If your root filesystem is smaller than 2 GB, you will need to increase it before starting the upgrade. Appendix C contains procedures to do this.
New distribution CDs. DYNIX/ptx V4.5.x and most layered products are now distributed on two CDs, volume 1 and volume 2. Volume 1 must be installed first. Volume 2 can then be installed with either of the following procedures:
ALT DISK DELTA. After completing the ALT DISK DELTA (or INIT ALT DISK DELTA) to install Volume 1 and before booting the kernel, use ALT DISK DELTA to install the appropriate layered products from Volume 2.
ROOT. After booting on the V4.5.x kernel, use the ROOT procedure to install the appropriate layered products from Volume 2.
NUMA-Q Online Diagnostics Dispatcher Software. This software has been moved from the NUMA Console Software CD to the DYNIX/ptx V4.5.x OS and Layered Products Software, Volume 1 CD. You no longer need to do a separate install pass to install this software.
Common firmware downloader. ptx/SPDRIVERS now provides a utility, cfwdl, that is used to download FC Bridge and Host Adapter firmware, as well as various other types of firmware. The ffutil, dltutil, fwdl, and fcdl utilities are now obsolete.
The FC Bridge and Host Adapter are no longer provided as separate products on the CD. Instead, they are included in the "cfwdl-Compatible Firmware Bundle" product.
New systems are shipped with the following software and firmware already installed. You do not need to reinstall this software.

To complete the installation, perform the following steps:
[ ] | Install and flash the 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. |
[ ] | Complete other post-installation steps as described under "Product-Specific Tasks" in Chapter 14. |
[ ] | Create a custom miniroot. See the DYNIX/ptx V4.5 System Recovery and Troubleshooting Guide. |
[ ] | Synchronize the time on all system clocks. See "Synchronize System Clocks" in Chapter 14. |
Rolling upgrades of clustered systems can be performed only if both nodes of the cluster are currently running the same version of DYNIX/ptx (V4.4.4, V4.4.6 or later) and the corresponding layered products and firmware. If the nodes are running earlier versions of software, they must be upgraded one-at-a-time.
For IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 clusters, rolling upgrades can be performed only by Customer Service personnel. Contact your customer service representative for more information.
Chapter 11 describes how to perform a rolling upgrade on a Symmetry 5000 cluster.
[ ] | If your system is currently running DYNIX/ptx V4.4.x, install the "Software Patches for Upgrading from DYNIX/ptx V4.4.x/V4.5.x to V4.5.x/4.6.x" CD. The patches on this CD fix problems in V4.4.x that prevent the upgrade to V4.5.2 from completing successfully. The CD must be installed before upgrading the operating system. For details about the patches and installation information, consult the README file on the CD. |
[ ] | 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 V4.5.2. 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. |
[ ] | Modify the local site file to remove obsolete kernel parameters and to rename certain parameters. See "Changes to the Local site File" 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 methods, see Chapter 3. |
[ ] | Install DYNIX/ptx V4.5.2 and layered products. (Invoke ptx/ADMIN and go to System Administration -> Software Management -> Install Software Package.) First install the DYNIX/ptx and Layered Products Volume 1 CD, and then use the ALT DISK DELTA procedure to install any layered products from the Volume 2 CD. 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 14. | ||||
[ ] | 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 for IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 or Chapter 5 for Symmetry. | ||||
[ ] | IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 only. If you have not yet installed 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. See the NUMA Console Software Release Notes.
| ||||
[ ] | Symmetry only. If system firmware was installed, shut down the operating system to monitor Level B and download the firmware. For CSM, see the CSM Software Release Notes; for QCIC, see the QCIC Software Release Notes. | ||||
[ ] | Symmetry only. If you booted from the distribution CD, reset the loaderPath and lvlBPath to point to your boot disk. This step must be done from monitor Level-B. The following example assumes that /usr/ssw is located on qd0s0. ---> bh loaderPath=qd(0,0)usr/ssw/boot | ||||
[ ] | Reboot the operating system.
| ||||
[ ] | Perform a ROOT installation of any remaining layered products. See Chapter 8. Review the installation log files to resolve any errors. | ||||
[ ] | Build the kernel and reboot the operating system. See Chapter 12, "Build a Custom Kernel." | ||||
[ ] | Download the Fibre Channel firmware (IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 only) and any other firmware. For the FC Switch, see the DYNIX/ptx V4.5.x Fibre Channel Software Release Notes. For the FC Bridge, FC Host Adapter, and other firmware downloaded with cfwdl, see Chapter 13, "Download Firmware with cfwdl" in these release notes. | ||||
[ ] | Remove installation directories that are no longer needed. See "Remove Unneeded Installation Directories" in Chapter 14. | ||||
[ ] | 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 14. | ||||
[ ] | Complete other post-installation steps as described under "Product-Specific Tasks" in Chapter 14. | ||||
[ ] | Create a custom miniroot for your system. See Chapter 1 in the DYNIX/ptx V4.4 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" in in Chapter 4 for IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 or Chapter 5 for Symmetry.
| ||||
[ ] | Synchronize the time on all system clocks. See "Synchronize System Clocks" in Chapter 14. |

ptx/ESBM and ptx/OSBM have been replaced by Backup Toolkit and SAMS:Alexandria. Do not deinstall ptx/ESBM and ptx/OSBM before installing Backup Toolkit and SAMS:Alexandria.
The name of the ptx/WINDOWS product has been changed to ptx/XWM.
Delta upgrades are not supported from versions of DYNIX/ptx earlier than V4.4.2. Instead, you must either do a scratch installation, or first upgrade to a supported version and then upgrade to V4.5.2.
Most layered products require that DYNIX/ptx V4.5.2 be installed on your system. Certain layered products also require that other layered products be installed. Table 1-8 lists those dependencies.
When you select a product for installation, ptx/INSTALL verifies that other products required by that product have also been selected for installation. It also determines whether the products currently on the system are compatible with the products being installed.
