Hello,
I have an hp itanum server with ( redhat Enterprise linux AS v3 update 3 ) installed on it
and i want to upgrade the system into ( redhat Enterprise linux AS v3 update 4 ).
I have insalled Update 4 CDs .
I want to reboot the system and boot from the first cd of the new update 4 , but
what should i write in the prombt (boot:) to have upgrading my system into update 4 ??
i tried boot: linux updates
boot: linux update
but it relays into a normal installation and when reaching the disk druid option
i choose next to leave the same partition with its data , but it says that there is no
/ partitions defined , then i formated the swap partition only and complete the installation
but at the end , i founded that the data is ok but the /etc/hosts and /etc/fstab files has been
changed and didnot have the original data as before upgrading.
is there any option that i can write in the boot: prombt that leds me into the same system but with the new update ??
how can i do the upgrading process of the system without losting any configuration ?
** i have a storage and a tape library that connected to my system and partition defined in the fstab file.
any answer please ???????
Regards
