Prerequisites

Before applying this interim fix, install the IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2.1 enhancement 600650 on your primary host, primary candidate hosts, and management hosts.

 

Installing on IBM Spectrum Symphony management hosts and compute hosts

a.      Log on to a management host as the cluster administrator:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

b.      Disable all applications, stop all services, and shut down the cluster:

> soamcontrol app disable all

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown

c.       On each management and compute host, download the soamcore-7.2.1.0_x86_64_build600827.tar.gz package to, for example, the /symfixes directory.

d.      Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soamcore-7.2.1.0_x86_64_build600827.tar.gz package:

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/soamcore-7.2.1.0_x86_64_build600827.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 600827

f.        Log on to the primary host, start the cluster, and enable your applications:

> egosh ego start all

> soamcontrol app enable application_name

Installing on IBM Spectrum Symphony client hosts on Linux

a.      Log on to the IBM Spectrum Symphony client host and stop the running client.

b.      Back up the following files which will be replaced by this interim fix:

$SOAM_HOME/lib/libsoambase.so

$SOAM_HOME/lib64/libsoambase.so

c.       Download the symclnt-7.2.1.0_x86_64-build600827.tar.gz file and extract its contents to the top-level installation directory:

> tar zxfo symclnt-7.2.1.0_x86_64-build600827.tar.gz -C $SOAM_HOME

Installing on IBM Spectrum Symphony client hosts on Windows

a.      Log on to the IBM Spectrum Symphony client host and stop the running client.

b.      Back up the following files which will be replaced by this interim fix:

%SOAM_HOME%\lib\soambase.dll

%SOAM_HOME%\lib\soambase.lib

%SOAM_HOME%\lib\soambase.pdb

%SOAM_HOME%\lib64\soambase.dll

%SOAM_HOME%\lib64\soambase.lib

%SOAM_HOME%\lib64\soambase.pdb
