Package Information

GPFS 2.3.0-6 Update for Linux on pSeries

Description

The update images listed below and contained in the tar image with this README
are maintenance packages for GPFS. The update images are a mix of normal RPM
images that can be directly applied to your system.

The update images require a prior level of GPFS. Thus, the usefulness of this
update is limited to installations that already have the GPFS product. Contact
your IBM representative if you desire to purchase a fully installable product
that does not require a prior level of GPFS.

Once all RPMs are installed, you have successfully updated your GPFS product.

Install the corrective service package

After you have downloaded the GPFS 2.3.0-6 update package into any directory on
your system, follow these steps to install the fix package:

1. Verify this update's RPM images in the directory. the list of RPM images in
   this directory should now be

   gpfs.base.2.3.0-6.sles9.ppc64.update.rpm
   gpfs.docs.2.3.0-6.noarch.rpm
   gpfs.gpl.2.3.0-6.noarch.rpm
   gpfs.msg.en_US.2.3.0-6.noarch.rpm

2. Follow the installation and migration instructions in your GPFS Concepts,
   Planning and Installation Guide. These steps are minimally:

   a) Stop GPFS on all nodes in the nodeset. Verify that the GPFS daemon has
      terminated and that the kernel extensions have been unloaded.

   b) Upgrade GPFS using the RPM command on all nodes in the nodeset as follows:

      rpm -U gpfs.base-2.3.0-6.sles9.ppc64.update.rpm
      rpm -U gpfs.docs-2.3.0-6.noarch.rpm
      rpm -U gpfs.gpl-2.3.0-6.noarch.rpm
      rpm -U gpfs.msg.en_US-2.3.0-6.noarch.rpm

      NOTE: If you are upgrading from gpfs.gpl-2.3.0-2 rpm may issue a no such
            file message for /usr/lpp/mmfs/src/makefile.toship. This is due to
            a minor RPM packaging error in gpfs.gpl-2.3.0-2 which will in no
            way affect the updated GPFS installation. Thus, this error may
            simply be ignored.

   c) Check the GPFS FAQ to see if any additional images or patches are required
      for your Linux installation:

      http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clresctr/topic/com.ibm.cluster.gpfs.doc/gpfs_faqs/gpfs_faqs.html

   d) Recompile any GPFS portability layer modules you may have previously
      compiled. The recompilation and installation procedure is outlined in
      the following file:

      /usr/lpp/mmfs/src/README
