4.    Installation and configuration

Follow the instructions in this section to download and install this interim fix to your cluster.

System requirements

·           Linux x86_64

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

Installation

a.      Log on to the primary host as the cluster administrator and stop the WEBGUI and HostFactory services:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service stop WEBGUI HostFactory

b.      Log on to each management host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system) in the cluster and move the following files to a backup directory for recovery purposes, for example:

mkdir -p /tmp/json-smart_bk

mkdir -p /tmp/underscore_bk_platform

mkdir -p /tmp/underscore_bk_platformv5

> mv $EGO_TOP/3.8/hostfactory/providers/common/lib/json-smart-2.3.jar /tmp/json-smart_bk

> mv $EGO_TOP/wlp/usr/servers/gui/apps/ego/3.8/platform/bower_components/underscore/* /tmp/underscore_bk_platform

> mv $EGO_TOP/wlp/usr/servers/gui/apps/ego/3.8/platformv5/bower_components/underscore/* /tmp/underscore_bk_platformv5

c.       On each management host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system), download the egomgmt-3.8.0.0_noarch_build600508.tar.gz and egocore-3.8.0.0_x86_64_build600508.tar.gz packages to, for example, the /symfixes directory.

d.      On each management host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system), run the egoinstallfixes command to install the egomgmt-3.8.0.0_noarch_build600508.tar.gz and egocore-3.8.0.0_x86_64_build600508.tar.gz packages:

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/egomgmt-3.8.0.0_noarch_build600508.tar.gz

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/egocore-3.8.0.0_x86_64_build600508.tar.gz

Note: 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.      Delete all subdirectories and files from the following directories:

> 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/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.      Run the pversions command to verify the installation:

> pversions -b 600508
