Applying the Linux Maintenance Release

Procedure Steps

Step

Action

Load the CD containing the MCP Core Linux platform
Maintenance Release into the CD-ROM tray of the primary
System Manager.

Log on to the System Manager as the ntsysgrp role (ntsysadm)
using SSH.

Change to root user:

su -

Change directory:

cd /var/mcp/os/install/images

(The patching script creates this directory. Therefore, this
directory will not exist on systems that have not been patched.)

Delete existing files:

rm –rf *

Copy the installation files from the CD:

mcpCopyFromCD.pl

The following files are copied:

File

Description

mcp_core_linux_*.iso

Container for the installation files used for the platform
patching. Platform patch image files are cumulative;
they contain all previously released patches.

mcp_core_linux_*.relnotes.txt

Release notes containing a description of the patch
files, how to apply them, and the release level to which
the system is updated.

mcp_core_linux_*.iso.md5sum.txt

Checksum file provided for patch file integrity validation.

Exit the SSH session for users with ntsysgrp and ntappgrp roles
and remove the CD from the CD-ROM tray.

Attention:

If you are applying a platform patch to a server with

only the platform OS installed, skip steps 8 through 13.
