Publication Date: May 18, 2018

When Linux hosts in an IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2.0.2 cluster run on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12 SP2, the egoremoverc.sh and egosetrc.sh scripts report error messages. This issue occurs because the /etc/inittab path does not exist on SLES12 SP2 hosts. This interim fix resolves this issue.

SLES 12 SP2 x86_64

Installation

a.         Edit the following environment files to make a configuration change:

$EGO_TOP/kernel/activation/3.6/conf/profile.ego

$EGO_TOP/kernel/conf/profile.ego

In each file, modify line 626 by replacing “elif [ $version = "3" ]; then“ with “elif [ $version = "3" -o $version = "4" ]; then“.

Here is another example of this update:

 esac

 fi  #### end of if subver = 2.6 ####

-elif [ $version = "3" ]; then

+elif [ $version = "3" -o $version = "4" ]; then

 subver=`echo $uname_val | $AWK '{split($3, a, "."); print a[2]}'`

 if [ $subver -ge "0" ]; then

 EGO_BINARY_TYPE="fail"

 machine=`uname -m`

NOTE: If the “egoconfig mghost shared_top” command was run on the cluster to set a shared location for configuration files, ensure that you also update the $EGO_CONFDIR/profile.ego file.

b.         Log on to each SLES12 SP2 host in the cluster and back up the following files, which will be replaced by this interim fix:

$EGO_TOP/3.6/linux-x86_64/etc/egoremoverc.sh

$EGO_TOP/3.6/linux-x86_64/etc/egosetrc.sh

c.         On each host, install this interim fix:

> tar zxfo sym-7.2.0.2_x86_64_build491571.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP

5.     Uninstallation

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