Instructions on how to apply this software update
-------------------------------------------------

 The software update is in a file (MUPssrt0705_cpqim.tar) which contains an
 updated version of the agents in setld format.
 
 The goal will be for an administrator to download the software update from
 this FTP site, copy it to the target Tru64 UNIX System and extract the files.

 If you are applying this patch to a cluster, perform the steps below on one
 cluster member only, providing that all members are running.
 
 The following steps provide detailed instructions:

Step 1: As super user (root) create a temporary directory on the target
        Tru64 UNIX Alpha System, ie: /usr/tmp/patch

        Download the tar file into that directory.

Step 2: Uncompress and extract the target files

        # cd /usr/tmp/patch
        # /usr/bin/tar xvf MUPssrt0705_cpqim.tar

        A directory named cpqim211 will be extracted. It contains the setld
         kit files.
        
Step 3: Install the setld kit:

        # /usr/sbin/setld -l cpqim211

Step 4: Follow the setld instructions.

Step 5: When the installation is complete, delete the temporary subdirectory
        on the target server.

        # rm -r /usr/tmp/patch
