Updating Caching Proxy for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems

Before you begin

Consider the following items before proceeding with the installation of the refresh or fix pack.

Installing the packages for Caching Proxy on the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operating systems

Using the package installation tools for your operating system, install the Caching Proxy packages in the correct order. See Table 4 for a list of all Edge Components packages and the order in which to install them. The following procedure details the typical steps that are necessary to complete this task.

  1. Become the local super user root.
    su - root
    Password: password
  2. Stop the process for Caching Proxy.
  3. Change to the directory containing the installation files. For example, type the following at a command prompt:
    cd download_package_directory/
  4. Install the packages using the installation commands from the table that follows. The installation order of the packages for the refresh or fix pack are:
    1. gskit - Global security kit
    2. icu - ICU runtime
    3. admin - Administrative runtime
    4. cp messages - Caching Proxy messages
    5. cp - Caching Proxy
    6. documentation - optional
    Table 8. System-specific directives to install Caching Proxy
    System-specific directives to install Caching Proxy
    Operating System Commands
    AIX
    installp -acXd source package_name
    where source is the directory for the location of the package, and package_name is the name of the package.

    For example:

    1. The following command installs the admin package, which is called wses_admin.rte, when the packages reside in the current directory:
      installp -acXd . wses_admin.rte
    2. The following command installs the admin package when the packages reside in the /tmp directory.
      installp -acXd /tmp wses_admin.rte

    If you are using the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT):

    1. Select the install_latest option.
    2. Set the value in the COMMIT software updates field to yes.
    HP-UX
    swinstall -s /source package_name
    where source is the directory for the location of the package, and package_name is the name of the package.

    For example, the following command installs the administration package for Caching Proxy, which is called WSES-ADMIN, when the packages reside in the current directory:

    swinstall -s /admin WSES-ADMIN 

    To verify the installation of the packages, issue the swlist command to list all of the packages that you have installed. For example, issue the following commands to list all of the packages that are installed for Caching Proxy:

    swlist gsk* swlist WSES*
    Linux
    rpm -iv --replacefiles package_name
    where package_name is the name of the package.

    For example, use the following command:

    rpm -iv --replacefiles WSES_Admin_Runtime-6.1.0-1.686.rpm
    Note:
    Do not use the -U option. The --replacefiles option is required for most packages. Using this option with packages that do not require it will not affect their installation. After installation, the previously installed versions of the new packages are still on the machine. Do not uninstall them.
    Solaris
    pkgadd -d source package_name
    where source is the directory for the location of the package, and package_name is the name of the package.

    For example:

    • The following command installs the admin package, which is called WSESadmin, when the packages reside in the current directory:
      pkgadd -d . WSESadmin
    • The following command installs the admin package when the packages reside in the /tmp directory:
      pkgadd -d /tmp WSESadmin
    • To install GSKit, the following command will install the package over a previous version:
      pkgadd -a ./admin -d . gsk7bas

    To use the silent installation, use the -a option and specify an administration file. An administration file, which is called instadm, is provided with the packages that you are installing.

    After installation, the previously installed versions of the new packages are still on the machine. Do not uninstall them.

This table lists all of the packages that are delivered with Caching Proxy and their required order of installation. Install the packages that are included in the refresh or fix pack according to the order that is specified in the following table.
