SGI® REACT™ - HPE Update Server Setup

Oct.2019 Update: SGI REACT patches are moving to a more secure system, update1.linux.hpe.com, which requires both an email and a token for access. As new products are released, patches for those products will be released to the new server; patches for older releases will be available at the new location as well as at the current locations at download.linux.hpe.com.

SGI REACT is the only hard real-time performance solution for standard Linux distributions, for which no special custom kernels are required.

SGI has successfully achieved a real-time latency guarantee of 30 µsec for up to 64 threads, which is similar to more specialized hardware-software real- time solutions. With SGI REACT, system administration is easier, since the Linux used on the developer's systems is the same as the production system. The hardware system used as the developer system can also be identical to the production system. And software development is also easier, since the same compilers and tools used in non-real-time applications are also used for real-time programming.

SGI REACT includes the SGI REACT library for Linux hard real-time performance, the SGI Linux Trace debugger for real-time applications, frame rate scheduler, the SGI shield runtime anti-jitter capability, user level interrupt support and the external interrupt driver.

An active warranty or support contract is required to access SGI REACT product updates. The email associated with the HPE Passport account must be supplied as the username, and a user-generated token must be supplied as the http password to access this repository.

Installing SGI REACT packages

List available packages

# yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="react" list available
# zypper search --repo react

Show available updates

# yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="react" check-update
# zypper list-updates --repo react

Install a specific package

# yum install packagename
# zypper install packagename

URL Encoded Emails

In order for the yum and zypper to pass the correct email address to the authentication protocols on the Software Delivery Repository, email addresses in the *.repo files must be URL encoded. For most email addresses, changing the "@" to "%40" is sufficient. For instance, "john.smith@company.com" would be entered as "john.smith%40company.com" in the *.repo file. You may use the URL encoded values from the list below or use an online tool like URL Decode and Encode to help encode your email address.

    @ = %40      & = %26      / = %2F      ` = %60      space = %20
    ! = %21      ' = %27      = = %3D      { = %7B      , = %2C
    # = %23      * = %2A      ? = %3F      | = %7C      . = .
    $ = %24      + = %2B      ^ = %5E      } = %7D
    % = %25      - = -        _ = _        ~ = ~
