Can't install HFA04 on IP265 with R60

[Thieron]

Hello all ;)

I am currenty trying ti install the HFA04 on a IP265 with Ipso 4.1. I have found several threads on this Forum but so far nothing worked for me ;( The CP Knowledgebase wasn´t helpful for me either.

I have tried installing with the UnixInstallScript and without it. I made sure that the Simlink 5.0 is pointing to the R60 Folder. I uninstalled all packages, installed R60 again and did a cpconfig and tried again, resulting in the same error.

I hope someone can give me a tip/hint ;)

Here are the error messages:

jpfw01[admin]# ./UnixInstallScript

I've been trying for a couple of months to get this patch installed with no luck. I've even blown the whole IP265 away (i.e. BOOTMGR> install) installed NGX, then HFA3, then tried HFA4 and can't get it to work.

I've heard that some have had success doing the following:

Install HFA3
Turn on PCMCIA memory card
Install Checkpoint's bootstrap fix
Install HFA4.

Good luck. I'd like to know if you get it installed.

Thanks for your reply ;)

What Ipso are you running on that 265? I am currently running 4.1.016.

It would be helpful to know if anyone else managed to install HFA04 on a IP265 and if so, what Ipso he had.

I have tried several IPSO versions of 3.9 upto and including 3.9.56.

Hi,

I have an IP265 with Compact flash for CP packages, these ip265 have serious issues with installing any HFA.

From the research I did concerning this issue.

1. Install NGX R60, Make sure your using the flash based packages from CP.
file should be called fw1_R60_591000437_1_IPSO.tgz
2. Then upgrade to NGX R60 HFA_04. According to the release notes for HFA_04 special instructions for installation on a flash based system.
Prerequisites for Nokia IP265 Machines are
• Install the latest NGX R60 bootsrap script. Perform the installation according to the instructions in sk31660.
• IP265 Flash-based machine with an external flash (optional disk) that has been configured for type "Packages".
3. Well it's part of step 2, but I decided to add it here just in case. So before the HFA_04 gets installed you have to install the boot strap fix before HFA_04.
4. With optional disk enabled for packages.
5. At this point all we should have to do is install the HFA_04, making sure you are using this VPN-1_R60_HFA_04_wrapper.ipso.tgz

This has worked always worked for me, some people i notice have a problem doing this.

I hope this helps others.

Here are the error messages:

I had this similar issue and the problem had to do with a broken or missing link. In essence 5.0 must link to /opt/CPsuite-R60/svn (not just the R60 directory but "svn"). In your post you said it is linked to the directory. Perhaps you meant differently.

It works now, thanks for all your help!

Here is what I have done:

- Fresh install of Ipso 4.1.016
- Install of R60 for IP265 (no cpconfig afterwards, no activation of flash card either)
- ln -sf fw1_R60_591000xxx_1_IPSO.tgz CPsuite.tgz in /preserve/opt/packages/installed
- Install Bootstrap following SK31660 exactly ! (at the end of this the flash-card in finally enabled forpackages)
- Install R60HFA04 following the special instructions for Flash-Based platform in "r60_04_hfa-rn-pdf"

Yeah, I got it working too. But after all that trouble I decided to replace IP265 internal Compact flash card with bigger one. Works very well, no more trouble with disk space.
