Installing the ATM Software

ATM software installation guidelines, things to know if you are

migrating from an earlier version of the software, and the steps for

installation are provided in the sections below.

Installation Guidelines

Here are some things to keep in mind when you are installing the ATM

software:

✓ If you need to upgrade the HP-UX operating system to any operating

system level other than HP-UX 11i v1, you must do that before you

install the ATM software. If you are upgrading from HP-UX 10.01,

type this command before installing the HP-UX software:

mv /usr/conf/master.d/atm /usr/conf/atm

CAUTION Do not remove patches relating to a previous version of the HP-UX

operating system.

✓ Do not install more than one ATM software product on one HP 9000

system.

✓ Do not install the ATM software with “incompatible software” forced.

✓ The ATM drivers for HSC and PCI adapters support automatic

updates from HP-UX 10.20 or 11.0 to HP-UX 11i v1. Automatic

updates are enabled using the update-ux tool and specifying the

ATM bundle name at the command line or in the Graphical User

Interface (GUI) when invoked with the -i option.

Migrating from an Earlier ATM Software Version

Here are some things to keep in mind when you are migrating from an

earlier version of the HP ATM software:

✓ You can install the current HP ATM software on top of previous

versions of the software—all conﬁguration information is

maintained.
