Prerequisite

To install or uninstall the .rpm packages for IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2, 7.2.0.2, and 7.2.1, you must have root permission and RPM version 4.2.1 or later must be installed on the host.

Installing on Linux management hosts in grid clusters

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.      Back up or uninstall the existing JRE on all management hosts:

o   For Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 and 7.1.1, back up the JRE folder (under $EGO_TOP/jre/<EGO_version>/linux-x86_64/). For example, in Platform Symphony 7.1.1 cluster, back up the JRE folder at $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64/.

o   For IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2, 7.2.0.2 and 7.2.1, uninstall the existing JRE:

a)     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

b)     For IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2.0.2, remove the links remaining in the jre folder, for example:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/jre/8.0.5.0

d.     Log on to each management host as the cluster administrator and source the environment.

> source profile.platform

e.     On each management host, replace your current JRE folder with the files in this interim fix.

o   For Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 and 7.1.1, remove the files in the existing JRE folder and extract the interim package to the JRE folder. For example, in Platform Symphony 7.1.1, enter the following commands:

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

> tar zxfo symSetup_jre8sr5fp35_linux-x64_build520994.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64

o   For IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2, 7.2.0.2, and 7.2.1, use the same prefix and dbpath as the installation, for example:

> rpm –ivh egojre-1.8.0.535.x86_64.rpm --prefix /opt/platform --dbpath /tmp/rpm

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

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/work/*

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/workarea/*

NOTE: If you configured the WLP_OUTPUT_DIR parameter and APPEND_HOSTNAME_TO_WLP_OUTPUT_DIR is set to true in the $EGO_CONFDIR/conf/wlp.conf file, you must clean up the $WLP_OUTPUT_DIR/webgui_hostname/gui/workarea/ directory.

g.     Launch your browser and clear the browser cache.

h.     From the master host, start the cluster and enable your applications:

> source profile.platform

> egosh ego start all

> soamcontrol app enable <appName>

Installing on Linux Multicluster hosts

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

> source profile.platform

b.      Stop services and shut down the cluster:

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

c.      Back up the JRE folder (under $EGO_TOP/jre/<EGO_version>/linux-x86_64/). For example, in Platform Symphony 7.1.1 Multicluster, back up the JRE folder at $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64/.

d.      Log on to each management host as the cluster administrator and replace your current JRE folder with the files in this interim fix. For example, in Platform Symphony 7.1.1 Multicluster, enter the following commands:

> source profile.platform

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

> tar zxfo symSetup_jre8sr5fp35_linux-x64_build520994.tar.gz -C $EGO_TOP/jre/3.3/linux-x86_64

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

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/work/*

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/workarea/*

NOTE: If you configured the WLP_OUTPUT_DIR parameter and APPEND_HOSTNAME_TO_WLP_OUTPUT_DIR is set to true in the $EGO_CONFDIR/conf/wlp.conf file, you must clean up the $WLP_OUTPUT_DIR/webgui_hostname/gui/workarea/ directory.

f.       Launch your browser and clear the browser cache.

g.      From the master host, source the environment and start the cluster:

> source profile.platform

> egosh ego start all

Installing on Linux Developer Edition hosts

a.      Log on to each Linux Developer Edition (DE) host, source the environment, disable all applications and stop the agent:

> source profile.platform

> soamcontrol app disable all

> soamshutdown

b.      Back up the JRE folder (under $SOAM_HOME/jre/linux-x86_64/). For example, in Platform Symphony DE 7.1.1, back up the JRE folder at $SOAM_HOME/jre/linux-x86_64/.

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

For example, in Platform Symphony DE 7.1.1, enter the following commands:

> rm -rf $SOAM_HOME/jre/linux-x86_64/*

> tar zxfo symSetup_jre8sr5fp35_linux-x64_build520994.tar.gz -C $SOAM_HOME/jre/linux-x86_64

d.      Start the agent and enable applications:

> soamstartup &

> soamcontrol app enable <appName>

Installing on Windows Developer Edition hosts

a.      Log on to each Windows Developer Edition (DE) host, disable all applications and stop the agent:

> soamcontrol app disable all

> soamshutdown

b.      Back up the JRE folder (under %SOAM_HOME%\jre). For example, in Platform Symphony DE 7.1.1, back up the JRE folder at %SOAM_HOME%\jre.

c.      Log on to each DE host as the administrator and replace your current JRE folder with the files in this interim fix. For example, in Platform Symphony DE 7.1.1, delete all files under %SOAM_HOME%\jre, and decompress the symSetup_jre8sr5fp35_win-x64_build520994.zip package under it.

d.      Start the agent and enable applications:

> soamstartup

> soamcontrol app enable <appName>
