Readme File for: IBM Spectrum Symphony

Product Release: 7.3.0.0

Update Name: Interim Fix 536337

Fix ID: sym-7.3-build536337

Publication Date: February 19, 2020

IBM Spectrum Conductor 2.4.1 includes an upgraded version of Elasticsearch. IBM Spectrum Symphony Advanced Edition for Linux uses Elasticsearch for Explorer reports. For a cluster with both IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.3.0 and IBM Spectrum Conductor 2.4.1, you must apply this fix on top of IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.3.0 so that Explorer reports within the cluster work with the upgraded Elasticsearch.

4.    Installation and configuration

Follow these instructions to download and install this interim fix.

Note: If you are performing a rolling upgrade so that your cluster is at the latest product level, in order to use your existing Explorer dashboard with your Charge Back chart, ensure that you apply this interim fix before you run the egoupgrade cluster command; otherwise, you must create a new dashboard manually after upgrading. 

Prerequisites

Your Linux host must include the “ed” Linux line-oriented text editor.

System requirements

Linux x86_64

Installation

a. On each management host, perform these steps:

1.      Log on as the cluster administrator and source the profile.platform file:

> source profile.platform

> egosh user logon –u Admin –x Admin

2.      Download the soammgmt-7.3.0.0_noarch_build536337.tar.gz package to a directory for this fix (for example, to a /symfixes directory).

3.      Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soammgmt-7.3.0.0_noarch_build536337.tar.gz package:

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/soammgmt-7.3.0.0_noarch_build536337.tar.gz

4.      Run the pversions command to verify the installation:

> pversions -b 536337

/integration/elk/upgrade/script/Symphony_import_ChargeBack.sh

 

Note: If your cluster uses a shared directory, ensure that you also copy the .json files above to that shared directory.

 

b.      (Optional) If you are performing a rolling upgrade to IBM Spectrum Conductor 2.4.1 (according to the steps in https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZU2E_2.4.1/upgrade_sym/rolling_upgrade_task_overview.html), and you have used Elasticsearch data with your previous IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.3 cluster, to migrate that data, use the provided import and export scripts by copying the scripts into the Elasticsearch directory before starting the new cluster.

Here are guidelines on using the scripts in conjunction with your rolling upgrade process:

1. On one of the management hosts, log on as the cluster administrator and copy the /integration/elk/upgrade/script/Symphony_export_ChargeBack.sh script into the /integration/elk/1.4.2/scripts/directory and set the executable permission for this script.

2. Before you run the egoupgrade cluster command for a rolling upgrade, run the Symphony_export_ChargeBack.sh script, using this syntax:

  ./Symphony_export_ChargeBack.sh Admin Admin export_directory

where export_directory is the directory where you want the script to export the data. The script creates an ibm-symphony-report-charge-back directory under this export directory. If not specified, script exports to the current_directory/ibm-symphony-report-charge-back directory.

3. Run egoupgrade cluster as per your rolling upgrade instructions.

4. Copy the /integration/elk/upgrade/script/Symphony_import_ChargeBack.sh script into the /integration/elk/1.4.3/scripts/directory and set the executable permission for this script.

5. After you have run the egoupgrade cluster command, run the Symphony_import_ChargeBack.sh script, using this syntax:

  ./Symphony_import_ChargeBack.sh Admin Admin export_directory

where export_directory is the directory where you exported the data from the previous version. The script takes the JSON file containing the exported information from the current_directory/ibm-symphony-report-charge-back directory and imports that information into Explorer reports for your upgraded cluster.

c.      Restart ELK and Explorer services:

1.      Log on to any one of the management hosts as the cluster administrator and source the profile.platform file:

> source profile.platform

> egosh user logon –u Admin –x Admin

  2. Restart the services:

    > egosh service stop Explorer elk-manager elk-elasticsearch-data elk-elasticsearch-master elk-elasticsearch

    > egosh service start Explorer elk-manager elk-elasticsearch-data elk-elasticsearch-master elk-elasticsearch

 

5.    Uninstallation

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

a.      Log on to the host of this fix installed in the cluster as the cluster administrator and stop ELK and Explorer services:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service stop Explorer elk-manager elk-elasticsearch-data elk-elasticsearch-master elk-elasticsearch

b.      On each management host with the fix installed:

1.      Log on as the cluster administrator and source the profile.platform file:

> source profile.platform

> egosh user logon –u Admin –x Admin

2.      Roll back this interim fix with the build number:

 > egoinstallfixes -r 536337

c.      Restart ELK and Explorer services:

> egosh service stop Explorer elk-manager elk-elasticsearch-data elk-elasticsearch-master elk-elasticsearch
> egosh service start Explorer elk-manager elk-elasticsearch-data elk-elasticsearch-master elk-elasticsearch
