5 Setting up Administration and Branch Servers

5.1.3 Updating

The actual version of the SLRS 8 is based on the SLES/UL Service Pack 3
and needs to be updated with the United Linux Service Pack 3 CD1 from the
SLRS 7-CD Set.
To initiate the update insert the Service Pack CD into the CD drive of the AS,
mount the CD and call the install_update_rpms.sh script, as described below:
mount /media/cdrom
Execute: /media/cdrom/install_update_rpms.sh
umount /media/cdrom
Eject the Service Pack CD.
Note: The install scripts for updating RPMs are hard-coded to use /media/cdrom.
If your CD-ROM drive uses a different name to mount (such as /media/cdrecorder),
enter the following commands to create a link to the CD:
cd /media
ln -s cdrecorder cdrom
After installing the Service Pack CD you should reboot the administration
server.

Germany, us for United States, uk for United Kingdom, etc.
ldap administrator password Enter the LDAP administrator password twice
when prompted to make sure the password was entered correctly.
Now the installation script shows a summary of the LDAP directory data based
on your input. If all data is correct, continue the configuration by pressing
the ENTER key. If there is something wrong with the input data, abort the
installation by pressing CTRL+C. After ENTER is pressed, the script initializes
the basic LDAP database structure and performs some tests. Afterwards, a
summary of the configuration and the test results is shown. The successful
initialization process is finished when the message "success" is displayed.
The POS LDAP structure has been initialized on the AS and the LDAP service
is available. At this point, check if the LDAP structure is accessible using a
