Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT: Do not install this release as part of a new HP XC/HP SVA installation.
You must install the release over an existing HP XC/HP SVA installation.
Follow these steps to install the release:
1. Log in as root on the head node of the HP SVA cluster.
2. Determine if you have added any custom modelines to either or both of these files:
• /hptc_cluster/sva/etc/X11/templates/monitors/DefaultStereo.monitor
• /hptc_cluster/sva/etc/X11/templates/monitors/DefaultMono.monitor
If so, copy the modelines to a safe location to add them again later in the installation.
3. Use a browser to download the release from its web location to a temporary directory (for
example, /tmp) on the head node of the HP SVA cluster.
For information on the web address, see Section .
For information on the release naming conventions, see Section .
4. Open the tar file from the appropriate directory using the following commands:
# cd /tmp
# tar zxvf SVA-2.1.2.tar.gz
5. Locate the rpm package file:
# ls *.rpm
6. Install the rpm package file:
# rpm -ivh sva-kit-2.1.2-*.rpm
7. If you are currently in an X session, log in to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 or log
in to the head node remotely.
8. Change to the directory where the release contents are located:
# cd /opt/sva/kit_contents/2.1.2
9. Install the release on the head node:
# ./install
10. If you had previously added custom modelines to the DefaultMono.monitor or
DefaultStereo.monitor files, use the text editor of your choice to restore those modelines
