Loading the pre-upgrade program

Complete these instructions to load the pre-upgrade program.

Prerequisites

Complete the following tasks before loading the D3 package:
  • If it is necessary to use a directory other than /tmp, substitute that directory name for /tmp in the instructions. 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 in these instructions.
  • If a previous release of D3 has been loaded, D3 installation files might 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.

  • Download the .tar installer file from the Rocket Community site at:

    https://my.rocketsoftware.com/RocketCommunity/RCLanding

Procedure

  1. Create a destination directory into which the installation files will be loaded.
    The following example shows that the selected directory is /tmp.

    Enter:

    cd /tmp
  2. Transfer the installation files.

    Enter:

    tar xvf /tmp/D3lx64.10.3.4.tar
    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.

  3. Use the tar command to transfer the upgrade files from the directory where they were untarred.
  4. Create a destination directory into which the upgrade files will be loaded. The following example shows that the selected directory is ugf. Enter:
    mkdir ugf
    cd ugf
  5. Transfer the upgrade files. Enter:
     tar xvf /tmp/D3_ugf
    Warning: The ugf directory must be a subdirectory of /tmp.

    You will see a screen similar to the following example:

    # 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.

  6. Return to D3. Enter:
    exit
