HIT/Linux automatically uninstalls the previous version (see Updating HIT/Linux). However, if you want to manually uninstall the kit, perform these steps: 1. Rerun the installation script as follows: # /media/iso/install -e 2. Unmount the ISO image: # umount /media/iso Alternatively, you can manually uninstall the user-mode and kernel-mode packages. Depending on your Linux distribution, use either yum, rpm, or zypper. The uninstallation procedure removes all binaries but does not stop the iSCSI initiator daemon or modify its autostart settings. The following files and system modifications are also left on the system: • /etc/equallogic/eql.conf.rpmsave • /var/lib/equallogic/ and its contents • ASM backup documents • ASM credential files • DKMS, open-iscsi, and any other dependency packages that were installed by the installation script • Any changes implemented by running eqltune fix NOTE: Subsequent installations will detect any obsolete dependency packages and install the required versions. Updating HIT/Linux To update from a previous version of HIT/Linux: 1. Obtain the latest HIT/Linux installation kit. 2. If necessary, update your operating system to a supported version, and reboot if prompted by the operating system update. See Supported Linux Distributions for information on supported operating system versions. 3. Mount the new ISO file and rerun the installation script. The installation script automatically detects an update situation and installs the new RPMs accordingly. For information on installing HIT/Linux, see Installation Procedure. During an update, the Device Mapper devices are modified to use the dm-linear target instead of dm-switch, which allows the previous version of the dm-switch kernel module to be unloaded. After the new kernel module is installed and loaded, the Device Mapper devices will be changed back to use the updated dm-switch target. These changes can occur while the devices are in use but will cause a brief pause in I/O. Any configuration settings that were customized will be preserved across the update. Configuration After you install HIT/Linux, perform configuration steps specific to HIT/Linux and ASM/LE: • Configuring HIT/Linux • Configuring ASM/LE 16 Installing and Configuring HIT/Linux
