Install the FSPM Software

  1. Log in as root.

  3. Run the following command to create or update the Table of Contents (.toc) file that describes the software packages in the FSPM directory.
    # inutoc .
  4. Use one of the normal AIX methods to install the software.
    Choose one of:
    • installp – Installs the software from the command line.

    • smit – Starts the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT).

    • smitty – Starts the ASCII terminal version of the System Management Interface Tool (SMITTY).

    Note: If you use smit or smitty, follow the prompts on the Install Software menu.
  5. As the installation finishes, the installer instructs you to reboot the host. This is not always necessary based on these conditions:
    • If the system is using an Oracle FS System LUN as the boot disk, reboot the system now, and continue at Step 5 of Install FSPM on a Bootable Oracle FS System LUN.

    • If the system is not using an Oracle FS System LUN as the boot disk, connect any additional paths to your LUNs and make any new LUNs visible to the host.

  6. Choose one of:
    • Reboot the host as instructed.
    • Complete the installation without rebooting the host by following the steps to install the software without rebooting the system.
