3.9.3. Updating through up2date

There is an alternative update method on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS and ES systems by using the up2date to update an individual package.

  1. Stop all Certificate System instances. 

    /etc/init.d/instance_ID stop

  2. Log in as root.

  3. Run up2date for the package. 

    up2date 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: 

    up2date rhpki-java-tools-7.3.0-4.noarch

  4. Restart the Certificate System instances. 

    /etc/init.d/instance_ID start
