Loading the pre-upgrade program

Complete these instructions to load the pre-upgrade program.

1. Download the .tar installer file from the Rocket Software website at: http://www.rocketsoftware.com.
2. Create a destination directory into which the installation files will be loaded. The example below shows that the chosen directory is /tmp. Enter:

   cd /tmp

   Tip:

   If it is necessary to use a directory other than /tmp, substitute that directory name for /tmp in the instructions. Note that the specific directory to which the D3 installation files are loaded is the decision of the person performing the installation, however /tmp is the most common, and is used for reference here.

   If a previous release of D3 has been loaded, D3 installation files may still be present in the /tmp directory. These are the files loaded from the installer with the tar command. These files must be removed before a new release of D3 is loaded. See Upgrade issues for instructions to remove these files.

3. Transfer the installation files. Enter:

   tar xvf /tmp/D3lx64101.tar

4. The system loads a series of files and returns to the shell prompt. The screen looks similar to:

   x D3_ssn
   x D3_setup
   x D3_setup_mv
   x D3_copyright
   x D3_ugf
   x D3_install-lx-x.xx-.Z
   x D3_monitor-lx-x.xx-.Z
   x D3_flash-lx-x.xx -. Z
   x D3_sql-lx-x.xx -. Z
   x D3_abs-lx-x.xx-.Z
   x D3_datafiles-lx-x.xx -. Z
   #

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

   To transfer the upgrade files from the directory where they were untarred, use the tar command:

5. 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

6. 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
   x t-stat
   x t-link
   x t-act
   x t-det
   x t-att
   x :t-select
   x 1705
   x abs.frames
   x t-select
   x set-device
   x 1717
   x mode
   x pre-upgrade
   x do-pre-upgrade
   x upgrade
   x update.fsi.host

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

7. Return to D3. Enter:

   exit
