Upgrade AIX Native Packages

To manage the CA ControlMinder installation with all your other software installations, use a customized CA ControlMinder AIX native package for upgrades. The CA ControlMinder AIX native packages (bff files) let you upgrade CA ControlMinder on AIX easily.

Important! You must customize the package to specify that you accept the license agreement using a keyword you can find inside the license agreement.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as root.
2. (Optional) Record the level (version) of the package that you want to install:

   installp -l -d pkg_location
   

   pkg_location

   Defines the directory where the CA ControlMinder package (CAeAC) is located.

   For each package in pkg_location, AIX lists the level of the package.

   Note: For more information about the AIX native packaging installation options, refer to the man pages for installp.

3. Upgrade the customized CA ControlMinder package using the following command:

   installp -ac -d pkg_location CAeAC [pkg_level]
   

   pkg_level

   Defines the level number of the package you recorded earlier.

   Important: If you are upgrading CA ControlMinder on WPARs, upgrade the installation in the global environment.

   AIX starts installing the CAeAC package from the pkg_location directory. CA ControlMinder is now fully upgraded but not started.

4. (Optional) Upgrade on a specific WPAR wparname. (Use -A to install on all system WPARs).
   • From global environment:

     syncwpar wpar_name
     

   • Or from a WPAR:

     syncroot
     

5. Restart the machine.
