Follow the instructions in this section to download and install this interim fix in your cluster.
System requirements
Linux x86_64, Windows x86_64
Installation on Linux host
a.
Log on to
the primary host as the cluster administrator, disable all applications and
stop the SD service:
> egosh user logon -u Admin -x password
> soamcontrol app disable all
> egosh service stop SD
b. On each management host, create a directory (for example, /symfixes directory) and download the soamcore-7.3.0.0_x86_64_build601467.tar.gz package to the directory.
c. Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soamcore-7.3.0.0_x86_64_build601467.tar.gz file:
>
egoinstallfixes /symfixes/soamcore-7.3.0.0_x86_64_build601467.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.
d. Run the pversions command to verify the installation:
> pversions -b 601467
e. From the primary host, start the SD service and enable your applications:
> egosh service start SD
>
soamcontrol app enable applicationName
Installation on Windows host
a.
Log on to
the primary host as the cluster administrator,
disable all applications and stop the SD service:
>
egosh user logon -u Admin -x password
>
soamcontrol app disable all
>
egosh service stop SD
b.
On each
management host, copy the sym-7.3.0.0-soamcore-7.3.0.0_build601467.msp package, and complete one of the following steps:
For an interactive installation, double-click the .msp packages and follow the prompts.
For a silent installation, enter the following command
from the IBM Spectrum Symphony command prompt:
C:\>msiexec
/update C:\sym-7.3.0.0-soamcore-7.3.0.0_build601467.msp /l*v updateSym.log
/norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus
The command syntax is as follows:
C:\>msiexec /update sym_package_name_path /l*v sym_install_log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus
where:
sym_package_name_path is the fully qualified file name to the .msp package.
sym_install_log is the log file for the interim fix.
c. Run the pversions
command to verify the installation:
> pversions
d.
From the primary
host, start the SD service and enable your applications:
> egosh service
start SD
> soamcontrol
app enable applicationName
5. Uninstallation

the primary host as the cluster administrator, disable all applications and
stop the SD service:
> egosh user logon -u Admin -x password
> soamcontrol app disable all
> egosh service stop SD
b. Log on to each management host and roll back this interim fix:
> egoinstallfixes -r 601467
c. From the primary host, start the SD service and enable your applications:

{5B7B0C11-4DDB-4C5F-96A2-D1DCF66DBB64} /norestart /quiet /l*v sym_rollback.log
The command syntax is as
