Installing the Offline Adapter Management Utility for
Linux
The Offline Adapter Management utility for Linux uses an install script to install the
utility. The install script determines the correct architecture and distribution and
updates the existing ElxflashOffline and Elxlinlpcfg files. If there are no existing
ElxflashOffline or Elxlinlpcfg files, the install script installs the packaged
ElxflashOffline and Elxlinlpcfg files.
To install the Offline Adapter Management utility for Linux:
1. Untar the installation tarball.
2. Run the install script located on the root of the installation kit.
Example:
$ tar zxvf elxflashOffline-<platforms>-<version>-<rel>.tgz
$ cd elxflashOffline-<platforms>-<version>-<rel>
$ ./install.sh
Updating
To update an existing Offline Adapter Management utility for a Linux installation, run
the install.sh script to update the ElxflashOffline and Elxlinlpcfg files.
