Chapter 3. Installing GFS 17
3.1.1. Automatic RPM Installation
Automatic RPM installation consists of running the
up2date
utility at each node for the
Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat GFS products.
Note
If you are installing the GFS RPMs, you must run
up2date
for Red Hat Cluster Suite
before running it for Red Hat GFS.
To automatically install RPMs, follow these steps at each node:
1. Log on as the root user.
Note
The following steps specify using
up2date installall
with the
--force
option.
Using the
--force
option includes kernels that are required for successful instal-
lation of Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat GFS. (Without the
--force
option,
up2date
skips kernels by default.)
2. Run
up2date --force --installall=
channel-label
for Red Hat Cluster
Suite. The following example shows running the command for i386 RPMs:
#
up2date --force --installall=rhel-i386-as-4-cluster
3. (Optional) If you are installing Red Hat GFS, run
up2date --force
--installall=
channel-label
for Red Hat GFS. The following example shows
running the command for i386 RPMs:
#
up2date --force --installall=rhel-i386-as-4-gfs-6.1
