Upgrading IBM Storage Archive Library Edition from binary rpm files

How to upgrade IBM Storage Archive Library Edition from binary rpm files.

About this task

Complete the following steps to upgrade IBM Storage Archive Library Edition from rpm files:
Note: Install the binary rpm files by following the procedure in the topic Selecting binary rpm files from an installation package.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the operating system as a root user.
  2. If IBM Storage Archive Library Edition is already mounted, unmount it before you continue with this procedure by using the following command:
    # umount /mnt/ltfs  
  3. Use the following single command to upgrade the binary RPM files. The RPM files must be listed in the order shown in the command.
    # rpm -Uhv ./ltfsle-2.4.6.0-[revision]-[platform].[architecture].rpm ./ltfsle-library-2.4.5.0-[revision]-
    [platform].[architecture].rpm ./ltfs-admin-utils-2.4.6.0--[revision]-[platform].[architecture].rpm

    You must add the binary files that are installed under /opt/ibm/ltfsle/bin. Adding the /opt/ibm/ltfsle/bin file path to your PATH environmental value and to your search path enables the use of commands such as ltfs and leadm without specifying the full path name. For example, the full path name for the leadm command is /opt/ibm/ltfsle/bin/leadm.

  4. Merge /opt/ibm/ltfsle/etc/ltfs.conf.local and /opt/ibm/ltfsle/etc/ltfs.conf.local.rpmsave if /opt/ibm/ltfsle/etc/ltfs.conf.local.rpmsave exists after the upgrade.
  5. Merge /opt/ibm/ltfsle/etc/ltfs.conf.local and /opt/ibm/ltfsle/etc/ltfs.conf.local.rpmnew if /opt/ibm/ltfsle/etc/ltfs.conf.local.rpmnew exists after the upgrade.
  6. Use the following commands, in the order that is shown, to verify the current version of the IBM Storage Archive Library Edition library:
    # rpm -q ltfs-license 
    # rpm -q ltfsle
    # rpm -q ltfsle-library
    # rpm -q ltfs-admin-utils
    Note: The last step is optional.
