Before installation

a.     Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

b.     Disable your applications, stop services, and shut down the cluster:

> soamcontrol app disable all

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

c.     Complete the following steps for your product version:

·       For 6.1.1, 7.1 Fix Pack 1 and 7.1.1 clusters, log on to each host and back up the JRE folder under $EGO_TOP/jre/<EGO_version>/linux-x86_64/.

For example, in the 7.1.1 cluster, back up the JRE folder at $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64/.

·       For 7.1.2 and 7.2 clusters, log on to each host and uninstall the existing JRE.

NOTE: To uninstall the RPM package, you must have root permission; RPM version 4.2.1 or later must be installed on the host.

                             i.         Query the existing JRE package and uninstall it from the dbpath location, for example:

    > rpm -qa --dbpath /tmp/rpm |grep egojre

      egojre-1.8.0.3-408454.x86_64

    > rpm -e egojre-1.8.0.3-408454.x86_64 --dbpath /tmp/rpm --nodeps

                            ii.         For IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2, remove the link under the jre folder, for example:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/jre/8.0.3.21

Installation

a.      Log on to each host as the cluster administrator and replace your current JRE folder with the files in this interim fix.

NOTE: To install the RPM package, you must have root permission; RPM version 4.2.1 or later must be installed on the host.

·       For 6.1.1, 7.1 Fix Pack 1 and 7.1.1 clusters, remove the files in the existing JRE folder and extract the interim fix package to the JRE folder on each host.

For example, for hosts in the 7.1.1 cluster, enter the following commands:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64/*

> tar zxfo symSetup_jre8sr5fp7_linux-64_build479051.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64

·       For 7.1.2 and 7.2, use the same dbpath and prefix, for example:

> rpm –ivh --dbpath /tmp/rpm --prefix /opt/platform egojre-1.8.0.507.x86_64.rpm

b.      Delete all subdirectories and files in the GUI work directory:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/work/*

c.       Launch your browser and clear the browser cache.

d.      Start the cluster and enable your applications:

> egosh ego start all

> soamcontrol app enable <appName>

4.    Uninstallation

If required, follow the instructions in this section to uninstall this interim fix in your cluster.

a.     Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

b.     Disable your applications, stop services, and shut down the cluster:

> soamcontrol app disable all

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

c.     Log on to all hosts in the cluster as cluster administrator and restore the JRE folder from your backup.

·       For 6.1.1, 7.1 Fix Pack 1 and 7.1.1 clusters, restore the $EGO_TOP/jre/<EGO_version>/linux-x86_64/ folder from your backup.

For example, in the 7.1.1 cluster, restore the $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64/ folder.

·       For 7.1.2 and 7.2 clusters, uninstall the existing JRE, then install the old one:

        NOTE: To uninstall the RPM package, you must have root permission and RPM version 4.2.1 or later must be installed on the host.

                             i.         Uninstall the JRE fix, for example:

> rpm -e egojre-1.8.0.507-479051.x86_64 --dbpath /tmp/rpm/ --nodeps

For the 7.2 cluster, remove the link under the jre folder, for example:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/jre/8.0.5.7

                            ii.         Extract the egojre RPM package from the BIN installation package for IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2, for example:
