Procedure Steps
Step
Action
1
Load the CD containing the MCP Core Linux platform
Maintenance Release into the CD-ROM tray of the primary
System Manager.
2
Log on to the System Manager as the ntsysgrp role (ntsysadm)
using SSH.
3
Change to root user:
su -
4
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.)
5
Delete existing files:
rm –rf *
6
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.
7
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.
