Linux Software Installation Instructions
3.1.1
YUM Repository
Installing via the IBM Power Tools YUM repository is the preferred method for obtaining the required
2.4.11
version of the
iprutils
package. Use this method if your system has connectivity to the external
network and is able to download files direct from the internet. If you are using Ubuntu 16.04, the requisite
version of iprutils should be able to be installed using
apt-get
, like any other package that is part of the
Ubuntu distribution. In this case, you can skip ahead to section
on updating the adapter firmware.
First, configure the IBM Power Tools YUM repository. Go to the following page for instructions on how to
download the configuration RPM file and how to configure the repository:
com/webapp/set2/sas/f/lopdiags/yum.html
Once the repository is configured, upgrade the
iprutils
package to the
2.4.11
version from the newly
configured repository. During this process, you will be prompted to accept the GPG key for the newly added
YUM repository. Please allow this new GPG key to be accepted, otherwise the package installation will be
aborted.
