copycsmpkgs Command

Purpose

Copies CSM packages and prerequisites to the /csminstall directory.

Syntax

copycsmpkgs [-h] [-v | -V] -p pkg_path:pkg_path [Attr=value [Attr=value...]]

Description

The copycsmpkgs command is used when the attributes of the nodes to be installed do not match the attributes of the management server. For example, the command should be used if the CSM version to be installed on the nodes is different than the CSM version on the management server. The copycsmpkgs command is also used when the management server is an AIX machine, and one or more nodes are Linux machines.

The copycsmpkgs command copies install packages from the directories specified with the -p flag. The following install packages are copied:

CSM Packages

CSM product packages are installed on the management server or the nodes.

Open Source Packages

Packages that are not part of the operating system, but are shipped with CSM and must be installed on the management server or the nodes.

Operating System Packages

Packages that are part of the base operating system and must be installed on the management server or the nodes.

The copycsmpkgs command also copies CSM commands and data files that are appropriate to the CSM version to /csminstall. These commands and data files are extracted from the appropriate CSM packages and copied to /csminstall/csm/InstallCSMVersion. These commands and data files are used during the installation of CSM on the nodes.
