Installation-Information Settings File on page 7-44.
-update
Specify this parameter when performing an upgrade installation or a
reinstallation of HDLM. If you specify this parameter, an upgrade
installation can be performed while HDLM is in use.
However, you need to restart the server immediately after upgrade
installation or reinstallation is completed.
An initial RAM disk image file is automatically created after upgrade
installation or reinstallation is completed. The format of the name of the
created initial RAM disk image file depends on the version
#
of the current
OS. If a file with the same name as the initial RAM disk image file to be
created already exists, the existing file is saved by adding the
extension .save to the file name. The backup file for one generation is
saved.
The format of the name of the created file is as follows:
¢
Red Hat Enterprise Linux4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux5, Oracle
Enterprise Linux4, Oracle Enterprise Linux5, or Oracle Unbreakable
Enterprise Kernel5:
initrd-hdlm-version-of-the-current-OS
#
.img
¢
Red Hat Enterprise Linux6 or Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel6:
initramfs-hdlm-version-of-the-current-OS
#

SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server10 or SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server11:
initrd-version-of-the-current-OS
#
.hdlm
