How to Install TLP Baselines

This procedure describes how to install a TLP patch baseline on the server. This procedure assumes that the current working directory is the TLP installation directory, /opt/SUNWtlp.

Before You Begin

Before you begin the baseline installation, ensure that the following activities have taken place:

• The TLP server software has been installed.

• The selected baseline (EIS-CD) is available.

  ---

  Note –

  The baselines that are used in this procedure are the EIS-CDs. The baselines that used are subject to change.

  ---

Steps

1. To create a snapshot in the repository from an EIS-CD, log in to the system as the tlp-user.

2. Copy the EIS-CD to the local repository.

   $ tlp snapshot load

   TLP uses the creation date of the EIS-CD as the creation date of the snapshot. If you do not have the EIS-CD in the /cdrom/cdrom0 location, you can provide another location by using the --source command-line option.

   $ tlp snapshot load --source=/mnt/cdrom0

3. Repeat the previous step for each EIS-CD from the set of EIS-CDs.

   ---

   Note –

   An alternative to using the EIS-CD as a snapshot is to create a custom snapshot by using this method:

   $ tlp snapshot create --patch-list patch-list --date \ YYYY-MM-DD [--name name]

   Or, you can use the following method:

   $ tlp snapshot current

   This method always uses the most current patches from the SunSolve web site.

   ---

4. Run the tlp repo command for the update phase.

   $ tlp repo [--date date] phase update

5. Verify and list the available phases by typing:

   $ tlp repo list

   All of the installed snapshots and their associated names (phases) are listed.
