Upgrading SNMS from Red Hat Linux 8.0 to Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Advanced Server 3.0
SNMS 2.4.1 does not support Red Hat Linux 8.0. Customers who use SNMS on the Red Hat Linux 8.0 must
upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3.0 (RHEL). The following procedures list upgrade
prerequisites, how to upgrade to RHEL, and specify post-upgrade tasks.
Upgrade Prerequisites
Before upgrading from Red Hat Linux 8.0 to RHEL, perform these steps.
1 Verify that the StorNext entries in /etc/fstab are saved in a file that will be backed up. After Red Hat
Linux 8.0 is upgraded to RHEL, this file is used to restore the entries in /etc/fstab. Type:
cat /usr/adic/www/conf/cvfs_mount_points
grep cvfs /etc/fstab
If the output of these commands is not the same, type:
grep cvfs /etc/fstab > /usr/adic/www/conf/cvfs_mount_points
2 Stop all SNMS software components except those required to perform the backup. This action prevents
any changes to the SNMS system while the backup is running. Type:
/usr/adic/bin/adic_control stop
/usr/adic/bin/adic_control stop SNFS
/usr/adic/bin/adic_control start database
/usr/adic/bin/adic_control start MSM
3 Perform an SNMS backup. Type:
/usr/adic/TSM/exec/tdlmBackup
If the backup was not successful, do not continue to the next step. tdlmBackup displays the media that
is used. Record the media ID.
