3. Creating an HDLM Environment
114
key file (dlm.lic_key). The following shows an example when the license
key is
123456789ABCDEF:
# mkdir /var/DLM
# echo "123456789ABCDEF" > /var/DLM/dlm.lic_key
• When the license key file has been provided
Store the license key file directly under the
/var/tmp/ directory by using
the
hdlm_license name.
/var/tmp/hdlm_license
Note that the hdlm_license and dlm.lic_key files are deleted after
installation finishes successfully.
3. Insert the DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive.
You do not need to mount the DVD-ROM. If you install HDLM by using a
directory to which the DVD-ROM is copied or if you use the
nim command, you
do not have to perform this step.
4. For an upgrade installation, execute the following command:
• When installing HDLM on an alternate disk from the DVD-ROM
# alt_disk_copy -d hdisk-name hdisk-name ... -w
DLManager.mpio.rte -l /
directory-in-which-the-DVD-ROM-is-mounted/HDLM_AIX
• When installing HDLM onto an alternate disk from the directory to which
the DVD-ROM was copied
# alt_disk_copy -d hdisk-name hdisk-name ... -w
DLManager.mpio.rte -l /
directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM/
HDLM_AIX
• When installing HDLM on an alternate disk on a NIM client from a NIM
server by using the
nim command
A NIM server is a machine that manages the installation or upgrade
installation of software via a network. A NIM client is a machine whose
software installation status is managed by a NIM server.
# nim -o alt_disk_install -a source=rootvg -a
disk=
hdisk-name hdisk-name ... -a
filesets=DLManager.mpio.rte -a
installp_bundle=
NIM-resource-including-HDLM NIM-client
For details about the
alt_disk_copy and nim commands, see the manual for
AIX.
