<h1 class="topictitle1">Maintaining the Linux integration code</h1>
|
|||
|
|
<div><p>This topic discusses how to maintain and manage your integrated Linux<sup>®</sup> server
|
|||
|
|
code.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The Linux integration software has some components that
|
|||
|
|
run on <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>, and others
|
|||
|
|
that run on Linux.
|
|||
|
|
The Linux components
|
|||
|
|
are installed when you create the Linux server. The <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>-based
|
|||
|
|
code can be maintained using the normal PTF process; however, you need a way
|
|||
|
|
to maintain the integration code installed on Linux. You can do this from Linux using the <samp class="codeph">ixsupdt</samp> command.
|
|||
|
|
This command updates the kernel code and user level code.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Linux distributions
|
|||
|
|
have methods to update the software (that is, online update, update CD-ROMs,
|
|||
|
|
etc.). If a Linux distribution’s
|
|||
|
|
update includes a kernel update, we recommend that you back up your server
|
|||
|
|
prior to applying the update. Immediately after applying the Linux distribution’s
|
|||
|
|
update, you must run the <samp class="codeph">ixsupdt</samp> command. This is to ensure
|
|||
|
|
that the latest iSeries™ Linux integration
|
|||
|
|
drivers are available for the updated kernel. To see a list of kernels supported
|
|||
|
|
by the Linux integration
|
|||
|
|
drivers, please check the following Web site: <p><a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/linux/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/linux/</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside information center" /></p>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>To
|
|||
|
|
run the <samp class="codeph">ixsupdt</samp> command, complete the following steps:</p>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Log in to Linux as either the root user or a user with root authority,
|
|||
|
|
and start a terminal session.</span></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>At the command prompt enter the <kbd class="userinput">ixsupdt</kbd> command
|
|||
|
|
and press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>. The syntax is:</span> <pre>ixsupdt <<var class="varname">userid</var>> [<<var class="varname">address</var>>]</pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Where <var class="varname">userid</var> is an <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> user
|
|||
|
|
profile and <var class="varname">address</var> is the IP address or host name of the
|
|||
|
|
hosting <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> partition.
|
|||
|
|
The ixsupdt command allows you to change the IP address or host name listed
|
|||
|
|
as the managing iSeries for your server.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Linux integration support needs this data
|
|||
|
|
in order to set up a connection to exchange administrative information with <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>. It is important that you
|
|||
|
|
specify a valid IP address, or host name that is registered in the local DNS.</p>
