Follow the instructions in this section to download and install this interim fix on your cluster.

System requirements

Linux-x86_64, Windows x86_64

Prerequisites

Fix 601711 must be installed before applying this fix package.

Installation on Linux Management Hosts

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

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x password

> soamcontrol app disable all

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

c.     Run the egoinstallfixes command to install the soamcore-7.3.2.0_x86_64_build602155.tar.gz file:

> egoinstallfixes /symfixes/soamcore-7.3.2.0_x86_64_build602155.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.

Installation on Windows Compute Hosts

a.     Log on to each compute host in the cluster, copy the sym-7.3.2.0-soamcore-7.3.2.0_build602155.msp package, and complete one of the following steps:

o   To perform an interactive installation, double-click the .msp package.

o   To perform a silent installation from the IBM Spectrum Symphony command line, enter the following command:

C:\> msiexec /update C:\sym-7.3.2.0-soamcore-7.3.2.0_build602155.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:

o   <sym_package_name_path> is the fully qualified path to the .msp package.

o   <sym_install_log> is the log file for the fix.

b.     Run the pversions command to verify the installation.

c.     From the primary host, enable your applications:

> soamcontrol app enable <application_name>

 

5.   Uninstallation

Linux Management Hosts

If required, follow the instructions in this section to uninstall this interim fix from your cluster:

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

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x password

> soamcontrol app disable all

b.     On each of your management host, roll back this interim fix:

> egoinstallfixes -r 602155

    Windows Compute Hosts

a.     Log on to each compute host in the cluster, roll back to the previous version of IBM Spectrum Symphony either from the Windows Control Panel or from the IBM Spectrum Symphony command line:

o   To roll back from the Windows Control Panel, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates, click Update for Symphony 7.3.2.0 (build"602155") and click Uninstall.

o   To roll back from the IBM Spectrum Symphony command line, enter the following command:

C:\> msiexec /uninstall {C6E66871-E13B-4915-A2E4-04203D3BC1CA} /package {E0D84198-BD82-44E9-BE9E-56BC19B4AE75} /norestart /quiet /l*v sym_rollback.log

The command syntax is as follows:

C:\>msiexec /uninstall <interim_fix_code> /package <product_code> /norestart /quiet /l*v <rollback_log>

where:

o   <interim_fix_code> is the identifier of the .msp package for the interim fix; in this case, {C6E66871-E13B-4915-A2E4-04203D3BC1CA}.

o   <product_code> is the identifier of the .msi file in the product installation package; in this case, {E0D84198-BD82-44E9-BE9E-56BC19B4AE75}.

o   <rollback_log> is the name of the log file to capture details of the interim fix rollback; in this case, sym_rollback.log.
