SA upgrade media

SA is delivered as electronic files that need to be downloaded locally and reassembled as the first prerequisite step in the installation or upgrade. After reassembly, the SA electronic distribution contains several folders, the names of which end with:

  • oracle_sas (Server Automation Database) - Media used to install the Oracle database
  • primary (Server Automation Product Software) - Media used to install the SA Core Components
  • upload (Server Automation Agents and Utilities) - Media used to upload and install SA Core content and tools
  • sat_base (Server Automation Satellite Base) - Media used to install the SA Satellite components, it does not include the OS Provisioning components
  • sat_osprov (Server Automation Satellite Base including OS Provisioning) - Media used to install the SA Satellite and the Satellite’s OS Provisioning components

The SA Installer requires that the media directory structure be maintained, for example:

<mountpoint>/<user_defined_prefix>-<media_name>/disk001/opsware_installer/hpsa*.sh

where <user_defined_prefix>-<media_name> is, for example, hpsa-primary. (The hyphen before the media name “-“ is mandatory).

The installation media can be made available on the host where the installer will be invoked, either by copying it on the local disk, or through a NFS network share. The installer will auto-mount the media on the other core hosts as needed.
