Gather Required Software

To prepare for the software installation steps, gather the software packages in the following list. Store

the downloaded files in a common directory or folder, for example on your PC in a folder such as

c:\sglx_install. This can also be done once the first server has been installed and connected to the

Internet.

1. Linux OS Distribution

This deployment guide includes instructions for deploying Serviceguard on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

5.7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2. It is assumed that the administrator will install the operating

system from the DVD. Alternatively, administrators may register their subscription service and

download the appropriate images or use an update service such as Yellowdog Updater Modified

(YUM), an open source rpm package management utility for Linux. For more information about YUM,

refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide at

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/.

2. Kernel Errata

There may be a newer version of the kernel available online from Red Hat than the one provided with

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 (RHEL 5.7). The kernel version released with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is

5.7 is 2.6.18-274.el5.

1. Check the HP Serviceguard for Linux Certification matrix for the latest RHEL 5.7 or RHEL 6.2

kernel that has been certified for Serviceguard for Linux (see the Related Documents section of

this paper for details on where to find the latest version of the certification matrix). At the

time of publication the latest kernel version certified for Serviceguard for Linux A.11.20.00

was 2.6.18-274.el5.
