INSTALLATION
######################################################################

The Bull customized Server Update Utility image file can be used to
update your system at OS running or to update your system before
installing any operating system (the Windows bundle is required in that
case).

After downloading the Bull customized Server Update Utility image file
you need,for the NovaScale system you want to update, burn the iso file
to a DVD.

1) To update your system at OS running.

        Server Update utility is a stand-alone application that runs
        directly and automatically from a DVD. Only users with
        administrator (Microsoft Windows) or root (Linux) privileges
        can perform updates with SUU.
        On Redhat operating systems, you have to meet some requirements:
        - The xterm rpm has to be installed before starting the Server
          Update utility.
        - Server Update utility is a 32-bit application.Before executing
          this application on a 64-bit RHEL operating system, you have to
          manually install the following RPMs:
        	glibc.i686
  		compat-libstdc++.i686
  		libstdc++.i686
 		zlib.i686
		libxml2.i686
		libXp.i686
		libXtst.i686
 		ncurses-libs
		pam.i686

2) To update your system before installing any operating system.
  
        During the boot of the server, press the <F10> function key to
        enter in the Lifecycle controller. Launch the Platform Update
        wizard of the lifecycle controller and choose to update using a
        local drive. The DVD contains a repository which can be used by
        the lifecycle controller.
        Don't care about the warning indicating that the catalog
        signature file is not available in the repository, continue to
        proceed without the file.

By default, the Server Update utility or the Lifecycle controller select
the components for which the current updates are available.
