3.   Installation and configuration

3.1 Before installation

 

1. Shut down the cluster.

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

> source $EGO_TOP/cshrc.platform

> soamcontrol app disable all

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

2. Back up the JRE folder.

Back up the JRE folder on all hosts in the cluster:

The following steps use a Platform Symphony 6.1.1 cluster as an example:

For Linux 64-bit hosts:

> $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/linux-x86_64

For Linux ppc 64-bit hosts:

> $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/linux-ppc64

For Windows 64-bit hosts:

> $SOAM_HOME\..\jre\1.2.8

3.2 Installation steps

 

1.     Log on to all hosts in the cluster and replace your current JRE folder with the downloaded ones in the following directory.

Note: For Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1, use the JRE 7 packages to replace your current JRE. For Platform Symphony 5.2, 6.1.0.1, and 6.1.1, use the JRE 6 packages to replace your original JRE.

JRE 7 packages:

symSetup_jre7sr8fp10_linux-64_build336498.tar.gz

symSetup_jre7sr8fp10_win-x86_64_build336498.zip

symSetup_jre7sr8fp10_ppc64_build336498.tar.gz

 

JRE 6 packages:

symSetup_jre6sr16fp3_linux-64_build336498.tar.gz

symSetup_jre6sr16fp3_win-x86_64_build336498.zip

symSetup_jre6sr16fp3_ppc64_build336498.tar.gz

The following steps use a Platform Symphony 6.1.1 cluster as an example:      

For Linux 64-bit hosts:

> rm ¨Crf $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/linux-x86_64

> tar zxf symSetup_jre6sr16fp3_linux-64_build336498.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/ linux-x86_64

     For Linux ppc 64-bit hosts:

> rm ¨Crf $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/linux-ppc64

> tar zxf symSetup_jre6sr16fp3_ppc64_build336498.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/ linux-ppc64

     For Windows 64-bit hosts:

> rd $SOAM_HOME\..\jre\1.2.8\*

Then, extract the symSetup_jre6sr16fp3_win-x86_64_build336498.zip file to the $SOAM_HOME\..\jre\1.2.8\ directory.

3.3 After installation

 

1. Start the cluster.

> source $EGO_TOP/cshrc.platform

> egosh ego start all

 
3.4 Uninstalling

1. Shut down the cluster.

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

> source $EGO_TOP/cshrc.platform

> soamcontrol app disable all

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

2. Restore the backup files.

Log on to all hosts in the cluster and restore the backup JRE folder:

The following steps use a Platform Symphony 6.1.1 cluster as an example:

For Linux 64-bit hosts, the JRE folder is:

> $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/linux-x86_64

For Linux ppc 64-bit hosts, the JRE folder is:

> $EGO_TOP/jre/1.2.8/linux-ppc64

For Windows 64-bit hosts, the JRE folder is:

> $SOAM_HOME\..\jre\1.2.8

3. Start the cluster and enable the application.

> source $EGO_TOP/cshrc.platform

> egosh ego start all
