Perform the following procedure to install the upgrade Red Hat Package Manager (RPM®), and run the preupgradesys script, which performs the necessary preprocessing to prepare your system:

  1. Insert the HP XC System Software Version 3.0 DVD into the DVD drive on the head node.

  2. Mount the DVD at the following location:

    # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
  3. Change to the following directory

    # cd /mnt/cdrom/HPC/RPMS
    
  4. Find the name of the hptc-upgrade RPM:

    # ls hptc-upgrade*
    hptc-upgrade-1-n.noarch.rpm

    In the previous example, n in the RPM name represents the RPM version number. This number will vary from release to release.

  5. Install the RPM:

    # rpm -Uvh hptc-upgrade-1-n.noarch.rpm
  6. Go back to the home directory:

    # cd
  7. Run the following script to prepare the system for the upgrade:

    # preupgradesys
    The preupgradesys utility performs all the necessary 
    pre-processing steps needed to upgrade your cluster. This script 
    must be run before you upgrade your system.
