The unattended (silent mode) upgrade option allows you to run the upgrade
program unattended. Use this method of upgrade to issue a command from a
command prompt window from the root directory of the IBM TotalStorage DS
Storage Manager CD.
Perform the following steps to upgrade the IBM TotalStorage DS Storage Manager
in your Linux environment using the unattended mode:
1. Log on as a user with root authority.
2. Create a mount point or choose an existing mount point.
3. Determine where you want to mount the DS8000 Storage Manager CD. For
example, imagine you have decided to mount the CD in a CD-ROM drive known
as /dev/cdrom at mount point /mnt/cdrom. When the time comes for you to
mount the CD in this drive, perform the following steps:
a. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
b. Type the following command at the command prompt: # mount -o ro
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
4.
Change the current directory to the mount point for the CD-ROM drive. For
example, if the CD was mounted at the /mnt/cdrom mount point, type the
following command: # cd /mnt/cdrom
5. Read the README.txt file that is located on the DS8000 Storage Manager CD
to check for information that might supersede the information in these upgrade
instructions.
6. Type ./setup.linux -silent in the same Command Prompt window in which you
changed the current directory to the root of the CD, to start the DS8000 Storage
Manager upgrade program in silent mode.
7. Wait for the DS8000 Storage Manager installation program to install the product.
This can take 5 - 10 minutes.
8. Review the log file for any possible error messages, after the installation
program completes. If there are no errors, the installation program completed
successfully. The log file is located in xxx/logs/install.log, where xxx is the
destination directory where the DS8000 Storage Manager was installed. The
install.log file contains a trace of the installation actions.
9. Perform the postinstallation tasks after the installation has completed. You can
read the instructions for the postinstallation tasks in the postinstallation.txt in the
doc directory on the product CD.
