A software upgrade to HP XC System Software Version 3.1 installs new
versions of Linux and HP XC RPMs on the current system. Two
types of software upgrades have been introduced to upgrade an HP XC system
to Version 3.1.
As described in Table 1-1, the type of upgrade you perform depends on
the version of Enterprise Linux (EL) that is currently installed on
the system and the version of EL that is delivered in the new HP XC release.
Table 1-1 Upgrade Types
| Upgrade Type | Description |
|---|
Major | You
perform a major upgrade on systems
that are installed with an HP XC release that is based on
an older version of Enterprise Linux (for example Enterprise Linux
3 [EL3]) and the new HP XC release is based on the next Enterprise
Linux release version (for example, EL4). |
Minor | You
perform a minor upgrade when the
new HP XC release is based on the same version of the Enterprise
Linux (EL) operating system that is currently installed on the system. For example, a minor upgrade enables you to upgrade
the HP XC system from an HP XC release that is based
on EL4 Update 3 to an HP XC release that is based on EL4 Update
4. |
The software upgrade procedure is documented in
the HP XC System Software Installation Guide.
