8. Once the installs have completed, close the terminal window by entering “exit” followed 

by the enter key.

2.9.2 Upgrading from Release 6.37 and Later to the Latest Release

To upgrade Dock Server (and all other GMC applications), follow these steps.

1. If upgrading from CD media, insert the Dock Server install CD and skip to step 4.  If 

access to Teledyne­Webb Research’s glider server has not been requested, please contact 
Teledyne­Webb Research for access.

2. Move any Dock Server scripts in the factory­scripts directory that you have modified or 

that you use in operations to the scripts directory.  The upgrade may modify the contents 
of the factory­scripts directory.  Refer to section 3.8.1 for appropriate use of the factory­
scripts and scripts directories.

3. Connect the Dock Server machine to the Internet (refer to section 1.2).

4. Log on as “root” from the Dock Server machine’s “boot up” window (i.e., do not open a 

terminal window and log on as root from within a user account)  When prompted, enter 
the root password.  Refer to Appendix D for the root password.

5. Open a terminal window by selecting Applications / System Tools / Terminal from the 

menu bar.

6. Refer to the dockserver release README.  If the README specifies entering the 

following command, then do so at the terminal window prompt.  Note, it does no harm to 
enter this command during every upgrade.

#yum ­­disablerepo=* ­­enablerepo=GMC install gmc­out­of­band­tools

7. At the terminal window prompt, enter the following commands.

#gmc­switch­to ­­nojava production

This command stops Dock Server and Data Server, uninstalls the current Dock Server 
and Data Server, and installs the latest production release of Dock Server and Data 
Server.
