Installing Device Drivers on the SP Nodes
To install device drivers on the SP nodes, perform the following:
__ 1. To make sure that the lppsource directory is exported to the nodes, type
__ 2. If the directory is not exported, you may temporarily export the directory by
__ 3. To perform an NFS mount of the lppsource directory, type the following:
b. Move the cursor down until SPOT resource is highlighted. The SPOT
resource should look similar to the following:
spot_AIX433
resources
The format of the SPOT name is: spot_<lppsource_name>.
<lppsource_name> was the name that you recorded in a previous step.
c. When SPOT resource is highlighted, press Enter to select this option. The

h. To start the SPOT update, press Enter. This operation can take up to 15
minutes.
i. Repeat steps 4.g and 4.h for all device drivers you have selected:
devices.pci.00102100
devices.pci.00100f00
devices.commom.IBM.scsi
showmount -e at the system prompt. If the directory is exported to the nodes,
the result should look similar to the following:
/spdata/sys1/install/AIX433/lppsource (everyone)
typing the following:
exportfs -i /spdata/sys1/install/<lppsource_name>/lppsource
dsh mount <controlwks>:/spdata/sys1/install/<lppsource_name
>/lppsource /mnt
<controlwks> is the name of the Control Workstation recognized by the nodes.
<lppsource_name> is the name you recorded earlier in "Checking System
Prerequisites" on page 7.
