This iFix addresses the following issues: - Added missing fields such as updated_at, name, and description to the instance_snapshot events - Retype of volume is failing when shared volume is in "in use" state and snapshot is available - Cloud init API for VMRM - Remove the storage_pool metadata for create/clone volume Listed below is the iFix installation procedure for PowerVC 2.1.1.1 upgraded system. Prerequisites:- ------------ 1) OpsMgr iFix IT45023-2.1.1.1-OPSMGR must be installed. 2) All the PowerVC nodes has to be on the 2.1.1.1 version. Part-A: Instructions when PowerVC is at 2.1.1.1 version ------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Take a backup of PowerVC. 2) Copy IT45023-2.1.1.1-POWERVC.tgz file to your PowerVC system. 3) Run the following command from the primary node to apply iFix on PowerVC nodes. A) powervc-opsmgr apply-ifix --ifix -c -hh Example : powervc-opsmgr apply-ifix --ifix /root/IT45023-2.1.1.1-POWERVC.tgz -c rhel8ppcle -hh B) Repeat Step A for all the other nodes. If the iFix installation fails for the host, rerun the command in StepA. Note: The can be obtained by running "powervc-opsmgr inventory -l" command. If the inventory is created with hostname,then use the hostname in the apply-ifix command.If the hostip is used when the inventory is created,then use the hostip in the apply-ifix command. 4) Check whether the iFix has been successfully applied on all nodes by running the below command. powervc-opsmgr apply-ifix -l -c 5) Below rpms would be installed as part of the iFix.
