Installation and Migration Guide

Control workstation steps

Perform the following steps on the control workstation:

1. Install the ssp.spmgr file set

   If the file set ssp.spmgr is not already installed on the control workstation, install it now by issuing the following commands:
   

   If using:	Do this:
   SMIT	TYPE smit install_latest The Install New Software Products at Latest Level window appears. ENTER /spdata/sys1/install/pssplpp/code_version for Input Device PRESS Do to display the default install parameters. PRESS List to show options. SELECT ssp.spmgr PRESS Do to complete option selection and to begin installation. When the installation is complete, check the SMIT log file for the installation status. If errors occur, see the IBM AIX Problem Solving Guide and Reference.
   installp	You can use installp to install multiple file sets. For example, to install all of the file sets, enter: installp -a -d /spdata/sys1/install/pssplpp/code_version -X ssp.spmgr Note: installp automatically commits the packaging file set when you specify the -a option. To list all of the options for ssp, enter: installp -l -d /spdata/sys1/install/pssplpp/code_version/pssp.installp

2. Verify Port Information

   Once ssp.spmgr is installed on the control workstation, UDP port 162 becomes reserved for SNMP traffic between the SP Extension Node SNMP Manager and the SNMP Agent on the extension node. This port is the default SNMP trap port for any SNMP Manager. If another LP which includes an SNMP Manager is configured on the control workstation, there is a conflict which you would need to resolve by modifying the entry for spmgrd-trap in /etc/services on the control workstation to specify an unused UDP port number.

3. Define the Extension Node

   Issue the endefnode command to add an extension node definition in the SDR. You need to issue this command for each extension node you want to configure. For more information, refer to the PSSP: Command and Technical Reference.

4. Define the Extension Node Adapter

   Issue the endefadapter command to add an extension node adapter definition in the SDR. You need to issue this command for each extension node adapter you want to configure.
