5.1   Before installation

               1. Disable all applications and shutdown the cluster.

    Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and run:

C:\>soamcontrol app disable all

C:\>egosh service stop all

5.2   Installation steps

Copy the appropriate Symphony MSP packages of ego1.2.5_win-x64-238496.msp to each management or compute host.

For example, if you are upgrading Symphony on a Windows 64-bit management host, download and install ego1.2.5_win-x64-238496.msp.

กค    Silent installation:

Run the EGO installers from the command line using the following commands:

C:\>msiexec /update <Symphony_package_name_path> /l*v <symphony_install_log> /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus

Where:

กค Symphony_package_name_path is the fully qualified file name of the Symphony MSP package in this release.

กค symphony_install_log is the log file for the Symphony upgrade.

For example, to update a Windows 64-bit management host, run the following commands:

C:\>msiexec /update C:\ego1.2.5_win-x64-238496.msp /l*v updateSym.log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus
