5.5.2 Minor Upgrade: Upgrade RPMs
A minor upgrade uses YUM to determine RPM dependencies. YUM updates, installs, and removes RPMs
from the system accordingly. Follow this procedure to upgrade the RPMs on the system:
1. Change directory to the mount point of the DVD:
# cd /mnt/cdrom
2. Update the Linux and HP XC RPMs:
# upgraderpms
NOTE: Because the upgraderpms command output spans several pages, it is shown in Appendix K
(page 163). Return here when command processing is complete.
3. Unmount the DVD:
# cd
# umount /dev/cdrom
4. Eject the DVD from the drive.
5. Reboot the head node, thus booting the new HP XC kernel:
# reboot
6. Verify that the system booted with the correct kernel. The HP XC System Software Release Notes lists
the final kernel version that was shipped in Version 3.1, and the results of the uname command must
match this kernel version.
# uname -a
