6.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference (TA768-96057, June 2012)

verify_client_update

Determines whether a minor kernel update is compatible with the X9000 client software.

Description

If you are planning to install a minor kernel update, run the verify_client_update command

first to verify that the update is compatible with the X9000 client software.

If the minor kernel update is compatible, install the update with the vendor RPM and reboot the

system. The X9000 client software is then automatically updated with the new kernel, and X9000

client services start automatically. Use the ibrix_version -l -C command to verify the kernel

version on the client.

Synopsis

# verify_client_update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp

Kernel update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp is compatible.

The next example shows an incompatible minor kernel update:
