Replacing a prior version of the package
If you want to replace a prior version of the host attachment package (tar version)
and have data that exists on all configured 2105 disks, the code prompts you to
remove all ESS product-related hdisk devices. Perform the following steps to
remove the devices:
1. Run the umount command on the file system.
For example, type umount -t x, where x is the file system name.
2. Run the varyoffvg command for the 2105 volume group.
For example, type varyoffvg -s VGname.
3. Type rmdev -dl on the command line to unconfigure the 2105 devices.
After you install the ibm2105.rte file and all the 2105 devices are reconfigured, vary
on the volume groups and remount the file systems. The data on the file systems
should be available again.
Perform the following steps by using SMIT to install the IBM 2105 host attachment
on your system.
