installing to all sv6 systems using HP Software Distributor

There are many ways to utilize HP’s Software Distributor (SD) tools to install software. The previous section uses scripts with command line SD calls to make it easy to update the sv6_enhancements package.

This section describes one way to use the SD GUI tools to install depots or patches onto all systems in your sv6 conﬁguration at the same time. See the man page for ‘swinstall’ or http://managementsoftware.hp.com/products/swdist/ for details on HP Software Distributor usage.

When installing patches that require a reboot, switch to a stand-alone workstation X server instantiation. If you wish to use the SD GUI tools instead of the command line or terminal versions, either login remotely to perform the install, or conﬁgure the X server to run as it would on a stand-alone workstation. (Example: Temporarily move the /etc/X11/X0screens ﬁle to X0screens.save then restart the X server.) Failure to do this could result in an incomplete installation. On sv6, when the ﬁrst slave node reboots, it kills the X server on the master node, which kills the remaining swinstall GUI windows.

NOTE

The examples below assume a single-channel system with a master gigabit hostname of svm and an example patch number of PHSS_25612, which is in tape depot format. Make appropriate substitutions as needed.

Here is a summary of the following installation steps:

•Download and unpack software.

•If the software requires a reboot, change to a stand-alone workstation X server.
