DS8000 User's Guide
Use this process to upgrade the DS Storage Manager to the latest level.
Note: During the upgrade process, do not interrupt the program by abnormal
methods, because an interruption can cause unpredictable effects in the
system. Abnormal methods include using CTRL-C, closing the launchpad
window which is open behind the upgrade windows, or shutting down the
power source. To interrupt the upgrade process normally, use the Cancel
button displayed on an upgrade window.
Perform the following steps to upgrade the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager.
1. Log on as a user with root authority.
2. Create a mount point or choose an existing mount point.
3. Determine where you want to mount the DS8000 Storage Manager CD. For
example, imagine you have decided to mount the CD in a CD-ROM drive
known as /dev/cdrom at mount point /mnt/cdrom. When the time comes for you
to mount the CD in this drive, perform the following steps:
a. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
b. Type the following command at the command prompt: # mount -o ro
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
4. Choose the destination paths for the DS8000 Storage Manager components
and be sure that you have enough space available on the chosen destination.
The upgrade program (installer) provides a default installation location
(/opt/IBM/DS8000StorageManager) for the component. You can override the
default installation location by using the installer browse function. When you
click Next, the installer analyzes the available space for the location that you
provide. If there is not enough space, you cannot proceed to the next panel in
the upgrade process.
5. Change the current directory to the mount point for the CD-ROM drive. For
example, if the CD was mounted at the /mnt/cdrom mount point, type the
following command: # cd /mnt/cdrom.
6. Run the wizard launcher, launchpad_linux, by typing the following command: #
./launchpad_linux. The upgrade in graphical mode begins with a LaunchPad
facility to launch the upgrade program wizard.
