2.   Download location

Download interim fix 601055 from the following location: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/.

3.   Products or components affected

Component name, Platform, Fix ID:

EGO, Linux x86_64, sc-2.4.1-build601055

4.   Installation and configuration

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

System requirements

Linux x86_64               

Configuration

LIM uses a hybrid combination of RSA and AES to encrypt UDP and TCP traffic. The current version utilizes an AES (Advanced Standard Encryption) 256 byte (2048 bit) key length and requires generating and deploying the RSA key pair.

1. Generate the RSA key pair (which must be 2048 bits) in PEM format:

> openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048
> openssl rsa -in private.key -outform PEM -pubout -out public.key

2. Ensure that both RSA public and private keys are readable by LIM processes (both on management and compute nodes).

3. Add new configuration to the $EGO_CONFDIR/ego.conf file:

EGO_LIM_TRANSPORT_SECURITY=AES

EGO_LIM_DEFAULT_TS_PARAMS="SSL[PUBLIC_KEY=/shared/public.key,PRIVATE_KEY=/secured/private.key]"

EGO_LIM_CLIENT_TS_PARAMS="SSL[PUBLIC_KEY=/shared/public.key]"

Installation

a.     Log on to the primary host as the cluster administrator, stop all EGO services and shut down all hosts in the cluster:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x $PWD

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

b.     Source your environment:

(BASH) . $EGO_TOP/profile.platform

(CSH) source $EGO_TOP/cshrc.platform

c.     Download the egocore-3.8.0.1_x86_64_build601055.tar.gz package to each of your host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system), for example, to a /conductorfixes directory.

d.     Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the egocore-3.8.0.1_x86_64_build601055.tar.gz package:

> egoinstallfixes /conductorfixes/egocore-3.8.0.1_x86_64_build601055.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 601055

f.      Update EGO configuration file.

g.   Download the sparklibrary_build601055.tar.gz package and extract the binary file libSparkVEMApi.so. Replace the libSparkVEMApi.so file within the Spark archive for each Spark version. Here is an example for Spark 2.4.3:

$ mkdir /tmp/Spark2.4.3-Conductor2.4.1

$ tar xzf $EGO_CONFDIR/../../conductorspark/conf/packages/Spark2.4.3-Conductor2.4.1/Spark2.4.3.tgz -C /tmp/Spark2.4.3-Conductor2.4.1

$ cd /tmp/Spark2.4.3-Conductor2.4.1

$ tar xzf spark-2.4.3-hadoop-2.7.tgz

$ cp NEWBINARYPATH/libSparkVEMApi.so spark-2.4.3-hadoop-2.7/jars/native/x86_64

$ tar czf spark-2.4.3-hadoop-2.7.tgz spark-2.4.3-hadoop-2.7

$ tar czf Spark2.4.3.tgz spark-2.4.3-hadoop-2.7.tgz scripts deployment.xml

$ cp Spark2.4.3.tgz $EGO_CONFDIR/../../conductorspark/conf/packages/Spark2.4.3-Conductor2.4.1

$ cd /tmp

$ rm -rf /tmp/Spark2.4.3-Conductor2.4.1

h.   For each deployed instance group, replace the libSparkVEMApi.so file:

$ find DEPLOY_HOME -name libSparkVEMApi.so | xargs cp NEWBINARYPATH/libSparkVEMApi.so

j.       Start the primary, primary candidate hosts and all compute hosts:

> egosh ego start hostname

5.   Uninstallation

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

a.     Log on to the primary host as the cluster administrator, stop all EGO services and shut down all hosts in the cluster:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x $PWD

> egosh service stop all

> egosh ego shutdown all

b.     Manually restore the binary libSparkVEMApi.so from your backup.

c.   On each of your host (or just one host if you are using a shared file system), roll back this interim fix:

> egoinstallfixes -r 601055

d.     Start the primary, primary candidate hosts and all compute hosts:

> egosh ego start hostname
