Core services is a component of IBM Director that is installed on a managed system to provide hardware-specific function that supports communication and administration of the managed system by IBM Director. See section 5 for a list of items patched or updated. 2.0 Prerequisites and co-requisites None. 3.0 Installation information 3.1 Prior to installation See the Power Systems manager feature 6.1.0.2 README for additional instructions before applying this patch to Director on AIX. If you downloaded from ibm.com, you must import the update before you can install it using Update Manager. If you acquired the files using Update Manager, the update has already been imported. To import the update from the command line, use the following command: smcli importupd -vr To import the update from the IBM Systems Director Web interface, perform these steps: 1. In navigation area, expand Release Management and click Updates. The Update Summary page displays. 2. In the Common Tasks section, click Import updates. The Import Updates page is displayed. 3. Type the directory of the update files on the management server in the Path field. All updates in the specified directory will be copied to the update library. You cannot select specific updates from this directory. 4. Click OK. The scheduler is displayed. Choose to run the task now or schedule it to run in the future. 3.2 Install To install the update from the command-line, use the following command: smcli installupd -v [-n | -N ] -u com.ibm.director.core.manager_6.1.0.2 To install the update from the IBM Systems Director Web interface, perform these steps: 1. In navigation area, expand Release Management and click Updates. The Update Summary page displays. 2. In the Common Tasks section, click Install updates. The Install Wizard is displayed. 3. Follow the steps in the Install Wizard to install the update. 3.3 Perform the necessary tasks after install Restart the management server or managed systems on which the update has been applied. Normally, when you use Update Manager to install certain types of updates, it will first create a copy of the update's files in the termporary directory /usmi/updates/data on the target server or agent. However, with this patch, and for non-Windows target systems, Update Manager will use the temporary directory /opt/ibm/director/data/updateslib/staging. After you apply the patch, it is recommended that you clean up the update library information from the Director Server using the 'smcli cleanupd -amv' command. You will need to re-acquire any acquired updates after this step. Also, you can delete the /usmi/updates/data directory in order to free up the space used in the old staging directory. The /usmi/updates/data directory applies to either the local Director server or remote endpoints that are non-Windows. 3.4 Troubleshooting the installation For information about troubleshooting problems you encounter during installation, see the IBM Systems Director information center on the Web at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/director_6.1/fqm0_main.html 4.0 Uninstalling To uninstall the update from the command line, use the following command: smcli uninstallupd -v [-n | -N ] -u com.ibm.director.core.manager_6.1.0.2 To uninstall the update from the IBM Systems Director Web interface, perform these steps: 1. In navigation area, expand Release Management and click Updates. The Update Summary page displays. 2. In the Common Tasks section, click Uninstall updates. The Uninstall Wizard is displayed. 3.
