System requirements

Linux x86_64

Installation

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

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x password

> soamcontrol app disable all

b. Download the package to each of your management and compute host to, for example, to a /symfixes directory.

c. Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soamcore-7.3.0.0_x86_64_build601731.tar.gz file on each of your management and compute host:

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/soamcore-7.3.0.0_x86_64_build601731.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.

d. On the management host, add the ENABLE_SESSIONRETRY_FOR_BINDININVOKE parameter in the $EGO_CONFDIR/../../eservice/esc/conf/services/sd.xml file:

<sc:ActivityDescription>

 <ego:EnvironmentVariable name="SOAM_HOME">${EGO_TOP}\soam</ego:EnvironmentVariable>

<ego:EnvironmentVariable name="ENABLE_SESSIONRETRY_FOR_BINDININVOKE">TRUE</ego:EnvironmentVariable>

         …

</sc:ActivityDescription>

e. Run the pversions command to verify the installation:

> pversions -b 601731

f. From the primary host, modify the SD service, and enable your applications:

> egosh service stop SD

> egosh service modify SD -f $EGO_CONFDIR/../../eservice/esc/conf/services/sd.xml

> egosh service start SD

> soamcontrol app enable <application_name>
