c.       On each management host, create a directory (for example, /symfixes) and download the egocore-3.8.0.0_x86_64_build601113.tar.gz and egomgmt-3.8.0.0_noarch_build601113.tar.gz files to the directory.

d.      Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the egocore-3.8.0.0_x86_64_build601113.tar.gz and egomgmt-3.8.0.0_noarch_build601113.tar.gz files:

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/egocore-3.8.0.0_x86_64_build601113.tar.gz

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/egomgmt-3.8.0.0_noarch_build601113.tar.gz

Important: Running the egoinstallfixes command automatically backs up the current binary files to a fix backup directory.  For recovery purposes of the original file, do not delete this backup directory. For more information on using this command, see the egoinstallfixes command reference.

e.      Run the pversions command to verify the installation:

> pversions -b 601113

f.        Delete all subdirectories and files in the following directories:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/work/*

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/workarea/*

g.      (Optional) If failover is enabled, you can delete all subdirectories and files in the following directory:

> rm -rf $WLP_OUTPUT_DIR/webgui_hostname/gui/workarea/*

h.      Clear your browser cache.
