ATTENTION New systems are shipped with all the appropriate patches installed from the latest "Best Recipe" CD.
To complete the installation, perform the following steps:
[ ] | IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 only: 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 13. |
[ ] | Create a custom miniroot. See the DYNIX/ptx V4.4 System Recovery and Troubleshooting Guide. |
[ ] | Synchronize the time on all system clocks. See Chapter 13. |
DYNIX/ptx V4.4.10 is supported on IBM xSeries 430 systems, IBM NUMA-Q® 2000 systems, and Symmetry® 5000 systems (CSM-based systems). It is not supported on Symmetry 2000 systems, which are SSM-based 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.
ATTENTION Included with the DYNIX/ptx V4.4.10 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 V4.4.10 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 V4.4.4, V4.4.5, V4.4.6, V4.4.7, V4.4.8, or V4.4.9 and the corresponding layered products and firmware. If the nodes are running earlier versions of software, they must be upgraded one-at-a-time.
Chapter 11 describes how to perform a rolling upgrade on a Symmetry 5000 cluster.
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.
[ ] | 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 V4.4.10. 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 13. | ||
[ ] | 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 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.
| ||
[ ] | 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 V3.4.1 Release Notes; for VBAD, see the SSM/VBAD Software Release Notes. | ||
[ ] | Symmetry only: If you booted from the distribution CD-ROM, reset the loaderPath, lvlBPath, and QCICPath 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 sd0s0. ---> 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." | ||
[ ] | 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.
| ||
[ ] | IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 only: 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 13. | ||
[ ] | 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 13. | ||
[ ] | Complete other post-installation steps as described under "Product-Specific Tasks" in Chapter 13. | ||
[ ] | Create a custom miniroot for your system. See "Create a Custom Miniroot" in Chapter 13. 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 for IBM xSeries 430 and NUMA-Q 2000 or Chapter 5 for Symmetry. | ||
[ ] | Synchronize the time on all system clocks. See Chapter 13. |

Upgrades to DYNIX/ptx V4.4.10 directly from V4.4.2 or earlier releases are not supported. Instead, DYNIX/ptx must first be updated to DYNIX/ptx V4.4.4 or later before you can upgrade to V4.4.10.
DYNIX/ptx V4.4.10 is not supported for use on Symmetry 2000 (SSM-based) systems.
Most layered products require that DYNIX/ptx V4.4.10 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.
