PERF, Linux x86_64, sym-7.2.1-build526266
4. Installation and configuration
Follow these instructions to download and install this interim fix on hosts in your cluster:
System requirements
Linux x86_64
Prerequisites
Your Linux host must include the “ed” Linux line-oriented text editor.
Installation
a. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and stop the plc and purger services:
> egosh user logon –u Admin –x Admin
> egosh service stop plc purger
b. On management host, back up the $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata directory, then clean it up, for example:
> cp -rf $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata.ORG
> rm -rf $PERF_WORKDIR/backupdata
Note: this step mainly ensures this enhancement taking effect when backupdata folder generated new files.
c. On each of management host, download the soammgmt-7.2.1_noarch_build526266.tar.gz and egomgmt-3.7.0_noarch_build526266.tar.gz packages to, for example, the /symfixes directory.
d. Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soammgmt-7.2.1_noarch_build526266.tar.gz and egomgmt-3.7.0_noarch_build526266.tar.gz packages:
> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/soammgmt-7.2.1_noarch_build526266.tar.gz
> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/egomgmt-3.7.0_noarch_build526266.tar.gz
NOTE: Running the egoinstallfixes command automatically backs up the current binary files to a fix backup directory for recovery purposes. Do not delete this backup directory; you will need it if you want to recover the original files. For more information on using this command, see the egoinstallfixes command reference.
e. Run the pversions command to verify the installation:
> pversions -b 526266
