6. Perform an upgrade installation of HDLM.
To perform an upgrade installation, specify installux.sh or the
installhdlm utility that are stored on the HDLM DVD-ROM. The following
shows an example of performing an upgrade installation when the mount
point for the DVD-ROM is /media/cdrom.
a. To run installux.sh:
# /media/cdrom/installux.sh -update
b. To run the installhdlm utility:
# /media/cdrom/HDLM_Linux/installhdlm -update
7. Check the initial RAM disk image file that is used when the server starts.
If the operation of step 6 terminates normally, the following message is
output.
KAPL09300-I An initial RAM disk image was created. (file name = /
boot/initramfs-hdlm-2.6.32-71.el6.i686.img)
Check that the displayed file name is the same as the file name specified
for initrd in step
5. on page 3-153.
8. Restart the host.
Execute the following command to restart the host.
# /sbin/shutdown –r now

For details on how to check the environment, see step
