Download and Check Software for Node Updates
Run copycsmpkgs
Check for the required and optional packages and put them in the places needed by CSM. If some packages are not found, it will look in the RPM path ($::config{RPMPath} ). (The RPM path should be set to point to the necessary,
already mounted, CDs, ISOs, or directories for CSM, the Linux
distribution, and open source prereqs.) Some of the packages can
also be obtained using buttons below. See the Software Requirements section of the CSM Planning and Installation Guide.
RPMs:
This button only works for non-enterprise versions of RedHat. This button will store
these RPMs in $rpmdir . The required software is listed in the Required non-IBM Software section of the CSM Planning and Installation
Guide . If you leave the RPMs field blank this list of required software will be used.
(Currently, this button only works for RedHat.)
Copy the webmin RPM from the RPM path ($::config{RPMPath}) to $installdir so that it can be installed on any nodes using updatenode . Alternatively, you can have webmin download/install its new version , but you will have to do this for each machine individually. You
can also have webmin broadcast to find machines on your network that have webmin already installed. You can download
the latest version of webmin on the MS Software Maintenance page.
Apps:
Copies the specified applications from the RPM path ($::config{RPMPath})
to $installdir . When updatenode or smsupdatenode is run these applications will be installed on the nodes. (If you have a lot of application updates and only want them installed on nodes that already have those applications, put them in $updatedir instead.)
Copy Any Apps
You can copy/move any file to $installdir or $updatedir using this file manager tool.
To install the RPMs on the nodes, go to the main page , select the nodes you want, and click on the Update button. See the Software Maintenance section in the Admin Guide for more information.
