Applying this fix involves the following steps:

5.1 Download the "scf-4.2.2-build418840" fix package from IBM Fix Central.

5.2 Upload the fix tar file to the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node.

5.3 On the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node, extract the fix tar file.

# mkdir -p /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840

# tar -zxvf scf_4.2.2_418840_fix.tar.gz -C /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840

5.4 Back up the files in IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node.

       # mkdir -p /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/backup
       # cp /tftpboot/xcat/genesis.fs.ppc64.gz /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/backup
       # cp /tftpboot/xcat/ genesis.kernel.ppc64 /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/backup
       # cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/ppc64/fs/usr/bin/bmcsetup /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/backup
       # cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/ppc64/fs/usr/bin/doxcat /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/backup

5.5 On the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node, uninstall the existing ipmitool-xcat package and then install the ipmitool-xcat-1.8.15 package.

# rpm -e ipmitool-xcat --nodeps
# rpm -ivh /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.1.1_build410409/ipmitool-xcat-1.8.15-2.ppc64le.rpm

5.6  On the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node, uninstall the existing xCAT-genesis-base package and then install the xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64-2.12 package.

# rpm -e xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64 --nodeps
# rpm -ivh xCAT-genesis-base-ppc64-2.12-snap201609010654.noarch.rpm

5.7 On the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node, replace bmcsetup script and doxcat script.

# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/bmcsetup /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/ppc64/fs/usr/bin/bmcsetup
# cp /opt/pcm/pcm_4.2.2_build418840/doxcat /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/ppc64/fs/usr/bin/doxcat

5.8 On the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation management node, generate new genesis.

# /opt/xcat/sbin/mknb ppc64

5.9 If high availability is enabled, repeat steps 5.2 to 5.8 on the IBM Spectrum Cluster Foundation standby management node. Otherwise, omit this step.
