Resolving The Problem
Procedure for M5 Appliances.
- Download the asu utility from Lenovo Lenovo ASU 10.4
- Using WinSCP or similar utility move the ASU utility to the /tmp directory on the Console.
- SSH to the affected appliance.
- Create the asu directory to hold the utility.
mkdir -p /opt/lenovo/toolscenter/asu
- From the Console Move the ASU utility from to the affected appliance using SCP.
scp /tmp/lnvgy_utl_asu_asut94m-10.4_linux_x86-64.tgz Affected_Appliance_IP:/opt/lenovo/toolscenter/asu/
- On the affected appliance change into the /opt/lenovo/toolscenter/asu directory.
cd /opt/lenovo/toolscenter/asu
- Using the tar command uncompress the ASU utility.
tar -xzvf lnvgy_utl_asu_asut94m-10.4_linux_x86-64.tgz
- Please do not remove the directory or files in /opt/ibm/toolscenter/asu/ as this may affect upgrades and patching.
- To test the new asu64 utility run this command:
/opt/lenovo/toolcenter/asu/asu64 show imm --kcs
Results: Now you can use /opt/lenovo/toolscenter/asu/asu64 as needed.
Note: To use the commands from the previous versions of the Asu64 you need the path /opt/lenovo/toolcenter/asu instead of /opt/ibm/toolscenter/asu
