b.     Log on to the primary host as the cluster administrator and disable all applications:

c.   Download the packages to each of your compute hosts (or just one host if you are using a shared file system) to, for example, to a /symfixes directory.

d.   Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soamcore-7.3.1.0_x86_64_build601366.tar.gz files:

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.

> pversions -b 601366
