SD-UX will attempt to build a new kernel and reboot the system.
NOTE: Starting with WLM A.03.01, WLM no longer requires a reboot. The
autoreboot option need no longer be set to true to satisfy requirements of the
HP PRM kernel-building fileset PRM-Sw-Krn.PRM-KRN. Consequently, the SD-UX
Interactive User Interface no longer prompts for an OK to reboot.
Installing from the media
NOTE: Installing without the benefit of a depot may cause unnecessary reboots. For
information on reducing reboots, see Step 5 on creating a software depot.
If you are installing WLM from the media:
i. Install the general support patch bundles and software from Step 1
If your system is missing any general HP-UX patch bundles or software mentioned
in Step 1, install them now.
Be sure to read the patch bundle documentation for any special installation
instructions.
ii. Install WLM
NOTE: The WLM bundle B8843CA requires a customer_id/codeword pair to
unlock it from the AR media. Purchase of WLM entitles you to this codeword,
which can be found on the Software Certificate you received from HP. The WLM
codeword is needed to complete the next step.
Use a line similar to the following to install WLM:
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -x customer_id=cust_id \
-x codeword=codeword \
-x autoreboot=true \
-s mount_path B8843CA
where mount_path is the path to the media. For example:
# swinstall -x customer_id=xyzCorp \
-x codeword=123456789101bcdf \
-x autoreboot=true \
-s /cdrom B8843CA
iii. Install WLM-specific patches from Step 4
If your system is missing patches from Step 4, install them now.
Be sure to read the patch documentation for any special installation instructions.
d. Restart MeasureWare if it was running before the WLM upgrade/installation:
# /usr/sbin/init.d/mwa start
