Installation and configuration

a.       Log on to the primary host as the cluster administrator, and shut down all primary and primary candidate hosts:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x password

> egosh ego shutdown hostname

b.       On each management host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system), download the egocore-3.8.0_x86_64_build601041.tar.gz package, for example, to a /symfixes directory.

c.       Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the egocore-3.8.0_x86_64_build601041.tar.gz package:

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.

d.       Run the pversions command to verify the installation:

> pversions -b 601041

e.       Log on to the primary host as the cluster administrator, and start up all the primary and primary candidate hosts:
