This release of OVP (5.0.1.12) in particular contains an on target orchestrator framework and API (namely ovirt) and the guest OS live migration capability (again implemented via ovirt) across cores and across nodes.

Installation Notes

Installation Notes

Requires Wind River Linux 5.0.1 to be installed Requires Wind River Linux Open Virtualization Profile 5.0.1 to be installed.

Wind River Linux OVP 5.0.1.12 is now only available via Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) method accessible via the Wind River Installation Tool (wrInstaller) available within your product installation.

Step 1 - Prepare
  • Shut down all product processes, including any license server.
  • If you have altered any Wind River-supplied file in your installation tree (not a recommended practice), archive them manually before installing any update, as these files may be overwritten during the installation process.
 Step 2 - Install
  • Linux:   Go to installDir/maintenance/wrInstaller/x86-linux2 and run wrInstaller.   (Windows:   Go to installDir\maintenance\wrInstaller\x86-win32 and run wrInstaller.exe.)
  • At the Choose Installation Type screen, choose "Online Content" and click next. Updates to the lastest installer is required. 
  • The installer will automatically search all available updates and verify your entitlement. (This may take a few minutes.)
  • Select "Wind River Linux OVP 5.0.1.12" in "Select Products" drop-down list.
  • Continue your selections through the installation process and complete by clicking Finish.

 PLEASE NOTE

1) If you're having connectivity (firewall or network setup) issues, Wind River allows you to run the wrInstaller on a machine with Internet connectivity by downloading this update pack into a convenient location and then installing the content back onto the development machine. Follow these instructions:

·         Retrieve the executable from here:  Linux    

o    For Linux, change the permission (example: chmod a+x setup_linux32)  

·         Launch the executable (example: ./setup_linux32) with the following options:

o    -download -sdf http://updates.windriver.com/repos/wrlinux/wrlinux-5.0/wrlinux-5.0-rcpl.repos

 

Copy the download folder to the other host machine and run setup.

2) On Windows hosts, you may notice some errors in the "setup.log" around "readlink" and "uninstall_mgr.sh". These messages can be ignored as they do not affect the running of the product. If though you should decide to un-install the product, there may be some error messages about changed files which the Installer will not remove. In this case, you can simply remove the remaining files and the installation directory manually.
