The IBM SmartCloud Entry 2.3.0.3 Interim Fix 1 for Fix pack 3 Readme

Please see the IBM SmartCloud Entry Administrators Guide 2.3 for a description of required products and fixes you need to install prior to running IBM SmartCloud Entry.

No prerequisite or co-requisite IBM SmartCloud Entry fixpacks are required for this update. IBM SmartCloud Entry fix packs are cumulative, so you only need to install the latest version to pick up all the available fixes.

If you are using IBM SmartCloud Entry to manage provisioning via IBM Systems Director 6.3.1 running VMControl version 2.4.1.1, you should install the vmc-update.2.4.1.1-20121019-LAFix.zip updates along with this SmartCloud Entry interim fix or fix pack. Use the instructions located in the IBM SmartCloud Entry Administrator Guide 2.3, Chapter 4, section 'Applying prerequisite fixes for IBM Systems Director 6.3.x and VMControl 2.4.x'. Follow the instructions outlined in the 'Procedure' section, replacing the fix name 'vmc-update.2.4.1.0-iFix' with the current fix name 'vmc-update.2.4.1.1-LAFix'.

IBM SmartCloud Entry has a Command Line Interface (CLI) which is used to update the application. The CLI is available from the OSGi console which is opened when starting the application -- commands are typed into the console to perform update operations.

Updates for the application are stored in repositories. Repositories are either URLs for remotely installing/updating packages, or local file system directories. Updates via remote (URL based) or local file system (directory) repositories are performed in the same manner, the only difference being the format the repository specified on the CLI.

URL based repositories are of the form http://UPDATE_REPOSITORY, while local file system (directory) repostiories have the form file:PATH_TO_DIRECTORY. When using a local file system repository, the full path to the local directory must be given using forward slashes.

The following update commands are available via the CLI:

• version - Returns the current product version.
• showrepos - Returns a list of the update repositories associated with the product.
• addrepo [url] - Adds a repository to the product from the given file or remote URL.
• delrepo [url] - Removes a repository (* for all repositories) from the product.
• checkupdates - Returns a list of the current updates available.
• installupdates - Installs the available updates to the product.
• updatetimestamps - Returns a list of the product's update timestamps.
• rollbackupdates [timestamp] - Rolls back to the given timestamp. If no timestamp is given the rollback is to the previous timestamp.

Installation of the fixes will require stopping and restarting the application.

1. Download the update package (zip file) from IBM Fix Central to the computer running the IBM SmartCloud Entry application.
2. Create a directory on the local file system of the computer running the IBM SmartCloud Entry application. For example, C:\temp\repository
3. Extract the update package (zip) to the directory created in the previous step.
4. From the IBM SmartCloud Entry OSGi console, type:
   addrepo file:PATH_TO_DIRECTORY
   Where PATH_TO_DIRECTORY is the full file path to the directory the update zip was extracted to. For example: addrepo file:C:/temp/repository
   **Note the use of forward slashes.
5. Type installupdates
6. The CLI output from the installupdates command should indicate installation success.

After installing updates to the application, IBM SmartCloud Entry should be restarted. To restart:

1. Type close into the OSGi console in which the application is running.
2. When the application ends, the console window will close indicating the application has stopped.
3. Restart IBM SmartCloud Entry.

The installed fixes should now be active.

To uninstall previously installed updates, use the rollbackupdates command. When this command is run with no parameters, the most recent update applied will be uninstalled.

To rollback to an earlier level, first use the updatetimestamps command to display a list of update timestamps, then use the rollbackupdates command with the desired level timestamp as a parameter.
