3.9.1. Updating a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system using rpm

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS and ES systems, update an individual package by doing the following:

  1. Stop all Certificate System instances. 

    /etc/init.d/instance_ID stop

  2. Log in as root.

  3. Install the updated package. 

    rpm -Uvh package name

    For example, to update the java-tools package with a new package named rhpki-java-tools-7.3.0-4.noarch.rpm, the command is as follows: 

    rpm -Uvh rhpki-java-tools-7.3.0-4.noarch.rpm

  4. Restart the Certificate System instances. 

    /etc/init.d/instance_ID start
