HP SVA V2.0 Software Installation Guide

You may receive a warning that the CD is already mounted. Ignore this message.
Alternatively, if you are using a tar file rather than the SVA CD, open the tar file from
its directory (for example, /root/temp) using the following command:
# tar zxvf sva-fullkit-2.0.0.tar.gz
d. If you are using the SVA CD, begin loading the RPMs, by entering the following
command:
# /media/cdrom/load_rpms
Depending on the CD/DVD drive, the mounted CD can be /media/cdrecorder rather
than /media/cdrom.
Alternatively, if you are using the SVA tar file rather than the CD, load the RPMs by
entering the following command from its directory (for example, /root/temp):
# ./load_rpms
e. When prompted, remove the SVA CD (if you are using one) and insert the XC DVD.
At this point, additional RPMs are installed from the XC DVD that are not normally
installed.
Remove the XC DVD when prompted.
3. This step only applies to cases in which the head node is an Intel system (workstation or
server) (xw8200, xw8400, DL 140 G3) with a supported NVIDIA graphics card. Reboot the
head node. You can do so with the following command:
# /sbin/shutdown -r now
Once the node reboots, proceed directly to the next step.
4. Installing the graphics drivers shuts down the X Server. This makes it difficult to install from
the console. To continue the installation conveniently, switch to one of the Linux virtual
consoles on the head node using the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+F# (where # is 2...6). Switching
to one of these virtual consoles lets you log in to the system using a normal terminal-like
interface that is unaffected by the X Server state.
5. Log in as root.
6. Execute the installation with the following command:
# /opt/sva/kit_contents/2.0.0/install
(The 2.0.0 string in the command reflects the SVA version number and changes with each
release.)
This install process takes several minutes to complete. As part of starting and stopping the
X Server, some services run, which produce error messages, for example, license warnings.
You can typically ignore these messages.
7. At this point, there are two possibilities for switching back to the head node's X server:
