Loading the Pre-Upgrade Program

Complete these instructions to load the pre-upgrade program.

To make a CD-ROM directory:

  1. If a CD-ROM directory does not already exist, make one by entering:

cd / 

mkdir cdrom

  1. Insert the D3 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

  1. Mount the CD-ROM by entering:

mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom

 

NOTE

The CD-ROM name on the system can usually be obtained by executing the command: ls /dev/cd*

  1. Verify that the CD-ROM has been mounted by displaying the CD contents. Enter:

ls /cdrom

  1. Confirm that the file D3.tar is included in the list.

  2. Use the tar command to transfer the installation files from the distribution media to the /tmp directory. Enter:

cd /tmp

tar xvf /cdrom/D3.tar

The system loads a series of files and returns to the shell prompt.

The screen looks similar to:

# tar xvf /cdrom/D3.tar

x D3_ssn 512 bytes, 1 media blocks.

x D3_setup 7223 bytes, 15 media blocks.

x D3_setup_mv 856 bytes, 2 media blocks.

x D3_copyright 343 bytes, 1 media blocks.

x D3_ugf, 65536 bytes, 128 media blocks.

x D3_install-rs-9.1-.Z,777733 bytes, 1520 media blocks.

x D3_monitor-rs-9.1-.Z, 589599 bytes, 1152 media blocks.

x D3_flash-rs-9.1-.Z, 3342554 bytes,6529 media blocks.

x D3_sql-rs-9.1-.Z, 250525 bytes, 490 media blocks.

x D3_abs-rs-9.1-.Z, 815485 bytes, 1593 media blocks.

x D3_datafiles-rs-9.1-.Z, 3297735 bytes, 6441 media blocks.

When the tar command completes, the system returns to the shell prompt.

To unmount the CD-ROM:

  1. Unmount the CD-ROM. Enter:

umount /cdrom

  1. Remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive.

To transfer the upgrade files from the distribution media to the tmp directory use the tar command:

  1. Create a destination directory into which the upgrade files will be loaded. The example below shows that the chosen directory is /ugf. Enter:

mkdir ugf

cd ugf

  1. Transfer the upgrade files. Enter:

tar xvf /tmp/D3_ugf

 

WARNING

The ugf directory must be a subdirectory of /tmp.

A screen similar to the example below displays:

# cd ugf

# pwd

/tmp/ugf

# tar xvf /tmp/D3_ugf

x list-device, 6 bytes, 1 media blocks.

x t-stat, 6 bytes, 1 media blocks.

x do-pre-upgrade, 285 bytes, 1 media blocks.

When the tar command completes, the system returns to the shell prompt.
