1.0 ABOUT UPDATEXPRESS SYSTEM PACKS

-----------------------------------
IBM(R) UpdateXpress System Packs contain integration-tested bundles of
online Windows(R) and Linux(R) firmware and device driver updates for
System x(R) and BladeCenter(R) servers.
IBM UpdateXpress System Packs facilitate the download and install of all
drivers and firmware for a given system and ensure that you are working
with a complete set of updates which have been tested together by IBM.
They allow you to apply co-requisite and dependent code components
together and provide a convenient methodology for you to ensure that
your entire system is up to date.
UpdateXpress System Packs are provided for select machine-types.
Separate UXSPs are provided for Windows and each of the Linux
distributions.
UpdateXpress System Packs are available at system GA and released
periodically, with new releases being made available after critical
updates are added.
Note: BladeCenter Management Module (MM), Advanced Management Module
(AMM) and I/O Modules are not packaged in UpdateXpress System
Packs. You can use IBM UpdateXpress CD 3 to perform updates on
MMs, AMMs, and BladeCenter I/O Modules. For details on
UpdateXpress CDs, see IBM UpdateXpress v4.04 CDs - Servers
(http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-53046.html) on
the IBM Personal computing support site.

2.0 UPDATEXPRESS SYSTEM PACKS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

----------------------------------------------------------------
IBM UpdateXpress System Packs contain updates to a number of hardware
components (firmware and device drivers) that are supported on Windows
and Linux operating systems. For a list of components and operating
systems supported in a particular system pack, see the system pack's
Change History file.

2.1 UpdateXpress System Packs supported hardware components

-----------------------------------------------------------
UpdateXpress System Packs contain updates to Linux and Windows device
drivers and firmware. For a list of components supported in a particular
system pack, see the system pack's Change History file.

2.2 UpdateXpress System Packs supported operating systems

---------------------------------------------------------
UpdateXpress System Packs can be applied to both Linux and Windows
operating systems.
A single 32-bit version of UpdateXpress System Pack Installer supports
select Microsoft(R) Windows operating systems. For a list of Microsoft
Windows operating systems supported by a particular system pack, see the
system pack's Change History file.
Each 32-bit executable is specified on the command line as
setupVER#.exe, where setup is the name of the executable and VER#
indicates the installer version number. For example, in v1.10 of the
installer, the Windows executable was named:
setup110.exe
For each release of the installer, you can distinguish the Microsoft
Windows executable name by its version number.
An individual version of UpdateXpress System Pack Installer (one
executable for each operating system) supports select Linux operating
systems. For a list of Linux operating systems supported by a particular
system pack, see the system pack's Change History file.
All Linux executable files are indicated on the command line as
installVER#.LinuxOS, where install is the name of the executable, VER#
indicates the installer version number, and LinuxOS is the Linux
operating system name. For example, in v1.10 of the installer, the Linux
executables were named:
install110.rhel3
install110.rhel4
install110.sles9
install110.sles10
For each release of the installer, you can distinguish the Linux
executables by their version number.
Important: For each Linux distribution, there is a single executable
version of UpdateXpress System Pack Installer that includes both
32 and 64-bit native binaries. For example, in v1.10 of the
installer, the RHEL3 x86 and RHEL3 AMD64/EM64T versions were
combined into one executable, install110.rhel3.
You may need to determine which operating systems your server supports.
This information can found on the ServerProven(R) Web site
(http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/).

3.0 UPDATEXPRESS SYSTEM PACKS INSTALLATION INFORMATION

------------------------------------------------------
You install UpdateXpress System Packs using the UpdateXpress System Pack
Installer. For a complete description of the Installer and its use, see
the IBM UpdateXpress System Pack Installer User's Guide.
You must first download the UpdateXpress System Pack you want to apply
to your system. In general, the scenario for downloading systems packs
is as follows:
1. Download the UpdateXpress System Pack for the desired
machine-type/operating system combination into a local or
network-shared directory.
2. Download the latest UpdateXpress System Pack Installer into the
directory where the system packs reside.
3. Run the installer. NOTE: Before running the installer, close all programs an
d
Dialog boxes that may be open, such as any "New Hardware Found" Windows dialo
gs.
Always choose the same destination directory for each UpdateXpress
System Pack download. You can download multiple system packs for
different machine-types into the same directory. When you run the
installer, it detects the machine-type and uses the correct content for
the machine-type. In some cases, there may be common files between
system packs. When this occurs, it is safe to overwrite the existing
file. The files with the same name will override one another as they are
downloaded into the same directory.
You apply UpdateXpress System Packs using the UpdateXpress System Pack
Installer. UpdateXpress System Pack Installer inventories the system on
which the update will be performed, queries a specified location for a
list of applicable update packages, compares the inventory to the
applicable update list, recommends a set of updates to apply, and then
deploys those updates to the system.
UpdateXpress System Pack Installer is an executable file that is not
installed. You can invoke it from a command-line interface (CLI) or,
when using the windows version, a graphical user interface (GUI). If
using the GUI, the UpdateXpress System Pack Installer executable file
must reside in the directory containing the UpdateXpress System Pack.
This is because the installer searches the current working directory for
the UpdateXpress System Pack.
A full description of UpdateXpress System Pack Installer functionality
can be found in the IBM UpdateXpress System Pack Installer User's Guide.

3.1 Linux device drivers and UXSPs

----------------------------------
The default operation for Linux device drivers is to maintain the Linux
distribution certified drivers whenever possible. The Linux version of
the UpdateXpress System Pack Installer does an inventory of the existing
driver in the Linux distribution. It then compares the version that is
already installed to the one in the UpdateXpress System Pack. If it
discovers that the Linux driver in the UpdateXpress System Pack is
already available, it will not install the driver included in the
UpdateXpress System Pack.
You can use the following command to override the Linux distribution
version of the driver:
./install.sh --update --override
Once a driver has been overridden, future UpdateXpress System Pack
installations can update the driver as the UpdateXpress System Pack
Installer runs the following command:
/install.sh --update --force-if-overridden
Running this command installs the driver that was previously overridden
in a past installation. However, this default behavior does not allow an
UpdateXpress System Pack driver to install over a newer UpdateXpress
System Pack driver that is already installed.
To perform an unconditional install of the device driver (assuming a
compatible device driver is available), run the following command:
/install.sh --update --force
