Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
This procedure assumes that you already have a base QFS product
installed on the Linux client.
 
    1. Remove current installation
         /var/opt/SUNWsamfs/Uninstall
 
    2. Install the new Software
 
       a)For a CD installation
         1)Insert the installation CD disk 1 into the Linux system.
         2)Type the following commands as root on the Linux system:
              # mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
              # /mnt/cdrom/Install
 
       b)For an ftp download installation
	 1)Type the following commands as root on the Linux system
            (where ######-## is the Linux Patch ID for this patch):
              # cd /path/######-##
              # mount -o loop,ro iso_open.iso /mnt
              # /mnt/Install
 
     The installation program installs the software.
 
     If the installation program does not recognize the Linux kernel
     version, it will display the following message:
 
     "A direct match for your kernel wasn't found. Attempt creating a
      custom rpm for your kernel (yes/no)?"
 
     Select yes to enable the installation program to adapt the Sun StorEdge
     QFS loadable binary kernel module to the Linux system. If you select
     no, the installation cannot be completed.
 
    3. Review the /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/mcf file to verify that it contains the
      correct paths for your installation.
 
     NOTE: An mcf file is automatically generated for the Linux client
     but will not be generated if the existing one has been modified
 
     For most installations, the mcf file that is created will be correct,
     but it may have to be edited to reflect your specific environment.
