upgrade GPFS on CentOS 5.4

剛好最近 CentOS 5.4 release 了，更新一下，順便 update gpfs (3.2.1-14 -> 3.3.0-1)

更新上沒有太大問題。

$ cat /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

$ tar xvf gpfs-3.3.0-1.x86_64.update.tar.gz

README

gpfs.base-3.3.0-1.x86_64.update.rpm

gpfs.docs-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm

gpfs.gpl-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm

gpfs.gui-3.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm

gpfs.msg.en_US-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm

$ rpm -U gpfs.base-3.3.0-1.x86_64.update.rpm

$ rpm -U gpfs.docs-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm

$ rpm -U gpfs.msg.en_US-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm

$ rpm -U gpfs.gui-3.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm

You may start the GPFS GUI now by typing : /etc/init.d/gpfsgui start

Alternatively, the GPFS GUI will start on reboot.

$ rpm -ivh --force gpfs.gpl-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm
