Readme File for IBM^® Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2 Interim Fix 543722

Readme File for: IBM Spectrum Symphony

Product Release: 7.1.2

Update Name: Interim Fix 543722

Fix ID: sym-7.1.2-build543722

Publication Date: April 07, 2020

In an IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2 cluster, the maximum length for a client name used by SD or SSM when either registers a client is 256 characters. Moreover, a long consumer path will result in a long client name, which may exceed this maximum length, leading to failure when enabling the corresponding application. This interim fix increases the maximum length for a client name to be 1024 characters.

Installation

a. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator, disable all applications and stop all EGO services:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> soamcontrol app disable all

> egosh service stop all

b. On each management and compute host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system), copy the sym-7.1.2.0-soamcore-7.1.2.0_build543722.msp and sym-7.1.2.0-egocore-3.4.0.0_build543722.msp packages, and complete one of the following steps:

o To perform an interactive installation, double-click the .msp package and follow the prompts.

o To perform a silent installation from the IBM Spectrum Symphony command line, enter the following command:

C:\>msiexec /update C:\sym-7.1.2.0-soamcore-7.1.2.0_build543722.msp /l*v updateSym.log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus

C:\>msiexec /update C:\sym-7.1.2.0-egocore-3.4.0.0_build543722.msp /l*v updateSym2.log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus

The command syntax is as follows:

C:\>msiexec /update sym_package_name_path /l*v sym_install_log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus

where:

o sym_package_name_path is the fully qualified path to the .msp package.

o sym_install_log is the log file for the upgrade.

c. Log on to the master host in the cluster as the cluster administrator, start EGO services, and enable applications:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service start all

> soamcontrol app enable appName

5. Uninstallation

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

where:

o interim_fix_code is the identifier of the .msp package for the interim fix; in this case, {87EDA1A6-E7F8-4AF5-A8A6-374914D560B0} and {7347985A-4D0B-4247-B3AC-B1BBF478B913}.
