Platform Symphony 7.1.1 Interim Fix 425121 Readme File
Abstract
This fix enables SSM to create subdirectories
under the $EGO_CONFDIR/../../soam/work/history
directory with the same permissions as the $EGO_CONFDIR/../../soam/work/history directory.
Description
Currently, SSM creates subdirectories under the $EGO_CONFDIR/../../soam/work/history directory
with permission 775. With this enhancement, SSM can create subdirectories using
the same permissions (read, write, and execute permissions, and sticky bit) as
the $EGO_CONFDIR/../../soam/work/history
directory. The user that SSM used to create the subdirectories will be the same
one used for SD.
This fix applies only to the following platform:
Linux-x86_64

None.
5. Installation
and configuration
5.1
Before installation
1. Stop the cluster. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and run:
> soamcontrol app disable
all
> egosh service stop all
> egosh ego shutdown all
2. Back up the following files on all management hosts:
$EGO_TOP/soam/7.1.1/linux-x86_64/etc/sd
$EGO_TOP/soam/7.1.1/linux-x86_64/etc/ssm
5.2
Installation steps
1. Log on to all management hosts in the cluster and decompress
the tar.gz file:
> tar zxfo
pssasetup2015_linux-x86_64_build425121.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP
2. Ensure that the owner of the symmkdir
file is the same as the one for SD, and then run chmod 4xxx symmkdir to ensure that the symmkdir file can be executed by all the SSMs with the
owner for SD.
Note: “xxx” is the permission that allows all the SSMs to
run symmkdir. Configure it based on your environment.
3. Edit the
$EGO_CONFDIR/../../eservice/esc/conf/services/sd.xml file to add the
SSM_CREATE_SUB_DIRECTORY_WITH_HISTORY_PERMISSIONS environment variable with a
value of "y" or "Y".
Here is an example:
<sc:ActivityDescription>
<ego:Attribute name="hostType" type="xsd:string">X86_64</ego:Attribute>
<ego:ActivitySpecification>
....
<ego:EnvironmentVariable
name="SSM_CREATE_SUB_DIRECTORY_WITH_HISTORY_PERMISSIONS">y</ego:EnvironmentVariable>
...
</ego:ActivitySpecification>
</sc:ActivityDescription>
5.3
After
installation
