5.3 Installing Patches from Your Laptop

To install the XC Software patches from your laptop, follow these steps:

1.Use the IRC to mount the directory with the XC Software patches that you downloaded on your laptop earlier in “Downloading XC Software Patches” (page 24).

•Click on the IRC Virtual Media icon on the ILO2 tab at the top of the screen (see Figure 5-1) and browse to select the folder with the XC patches. This creates the directory /media/iLO2_FOLDER on the head node and mounts the selected laptop folder to that directory.

2.Create a temporary patch download directory on the head node. For example:

#mkdir /home/patches

3.Copy the contents of the patch file from /media/iLO2 to /home/patches as follows:

#cp /media/iLO2_FOLDER/* /home/patches

4.Enter the following command:

#cd /home/patches

5.Enter the following command:

#tar -xvzfpatch_filename

File extensions are typically .tar.gz, and .tgz. This creates subdirectories in /home/ patches.
