3. Edit the sstk.conf file on the repository, and then change the value of RHEL_PROFILE
as appropriate by choosing one of the following:
— rhel4up6-upgrade-profile for an RHEL 4.6 upgrade
Or
— rhel5up1-upgrade-profile for an RHEL 5.1 upgrade
4. Select [2] upgrade (install Linux).
5. Select the target RHEL version, 4.6 or 5.1.
6. Select the disk that contains the older RHEL installation.
The upgrade process begins and after all upgrading tasks the system reboots to the upgraded
RHEL version.

SAN Environment Autoconfiguration

SSTK provides the SAN automatic configuration feature that allows for unattended HBA
configuration before the beginning of the installation process. SSTK matches the HDD that you
set up (either by using the SSTK menu or setting the value of the DISK variable in the sstk.conf
file) with the proper WWID, WWN and LUN, and then configures the hba-emulex.ini for
Emulex or hba-qlogic.ini for QLogic cards.
To enable the SAN automatic configuration feature, ensure that the AUTO_CONFIGURE_SAN
variable in sstk.conf is set to yes; to disable it set AUTO_CONFIGURE_SAN to no.

Customizing the Toolkit Environment

After you have gained some familiarity with the SSTK, you might find yourself eager to take
advantage of its flexibility using your own scripts and customizations. HP suggests the following
ways in which you can extend the capabilities of the toolkit environment.
□ Customize the configuration of target servers: Though all platforms use the same
configuration file, regardless of the platform model, you can modify the configuration file
to use a different file for each platform or MAC address.
The sample scripts included in SSTK (deploy.sh, linux-setup.sh, etc.) use the same
configuration files (sstk.conf, acu.ini, hba-emulex.ini, hba-qlogic.ini,
conrep.xml, conrep.dat) for all target servers. You can edit and customize the scripts
to use a hardware attribute (such as a MAC address, serial number, server model, etc.) as
an index. For example, you can modify the deploy.sh script to apply a specific ACU
configuration (acu-rx2620.ini, acu-rx4640.ini, etc.) to each server depending on its
model.
□ Customize the Linux root file system: The rootfs.gz file enables the server to boot to the
toolkit environment with network connectivity. You can edit the network settings in the
packaged rootfs.gz file to accommodate your deployment, but this might not be necessary.
□ Customize the Linux kernel: HP recommends that you use the kernel shipped with the
toolkit because it has been tested on all supported HP Integrity servers.Using the SSTK

Resetting SELinux Attributes after Replicating RHEL5 and RHEL5U1

In the event that you have replicated either a RHEL5 or RHEL5U1 image to a target server using
SSTK, attempts to log into the system will fail. This is the result of a mismatch in the SELinux
extended attributes that is caused by the replication.
HP recommends using the following steps to restore the SELinux extended attributes:
