Prerequisites for this interim fix
This interim fix updates the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent Framework to 630 Fix Pack 07 Interim Fix 06 and the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Shared Libraries to 630 Fix Pack 07 Interim Fix 06. It should be used on Agent only systems (not server components such as TEMS or TEPS) but you should update your Server components to 630 Fix Pack 07 as well.
Known issues
None.
Known limitations
This interim fix should not be installed onto same CANDLEHOME where TEMS, TEPS or UE components are installed. This limitation will be addressed in a future interim fix
Installation information
Prior to installation
- Assign CANDLEHOME environment variable (UNIX/LINUX ONLY)
Before installing this interim fix on Unix systems, make sure that the
environment variable $CANDLEHOME is set to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory.
Note: The directory /opt/IBM/ITM is the default installation directory.
For example:
> CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
> export CANDLEHOME - Determine the acrhitecture of the target system.
For Linux and Unix, you need to determine the install architecture of the target
system so that you can select the correct platform file to apply to the system.
To do this execute the following command in the terminal
window on your target system.
For Linux and Unix:
$CANDLEHOME/bin/cinfo -t ui
Record the architecture information that is listed under the PLAT column which appears in the output.
Installing
Local interim fix installation
- Transfer the appropriate archive file:
6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006.tar.gz or 6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007-TEMA-IF0006.zip to a temporary directory on the system that contains the code to be updated. For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows, this includes the drive letter. - Expand the archive file using the tar command on UNIX systems or an unzip utility on Windows systems. This creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms.
- For Unix/Linux installs:
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006
./install.sh -h $CANDLEHOME -q -p `pwd`/unix/tf<PLAT>.txt
where <PLAT> is the architecuture you recorded above (i.e. lx8266) - For Windows installs:
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006/WINDOWS
setup.exe /w /z"/sf%cd%\deploy\TF_Silent_Install.txt" /s /f2"%CANDLE_HOME%\INSTALLITM\Silent_KTF.log"
Remote interim fix installation
- Transfer the appropriate archive file (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006.tar.gz or .zip) to a temporary directory on the system that contains the code to be updated. For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows, this includes the drive letter. - Expand the archive file using the tar command on UNIX systems or an unzip utility on Windows systems. This creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms.
- Add the interim fix to the TEMS Depot by executing the following command:
For Unix and Linux packages
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006/unix
tacmd addbundles -i . -t tf
For Windows packages
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006/WINDOWS/Deploy
tacmd addbundles -i . -t tf
- Record the "Version" number that is displayed as output from executing the addbundles command in step 3 above.
Example:
Type : Component
Product Code : tf
Deployable : True
Version : 063007006 <=== Record this value
Description : 6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM_TEMA-IF0006
Host Type : aix523
Host Version : aix523,aix533
Prerequisites: - Distribute the interim to the target machines requiring this update by executing the following command on the HUB TEMS for Unix Systems
$CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateframework -n <Managed System Node Name:KUX> -v XXXXXXXXX
and for Linux Systems
$CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateframework -n <Managed System Node Name:LZ> -v XXXXXXXXX
and for Windows Systems
%Candle_Home%/bin/tacmd updateframework -n <Managed System Node Name:NT> -v XXXXXXXXXX
Note: You must be have previously issued the command to log onto the HUB TEMS prior to executing the above commands.
Note: Where XXXXXXXXX is the Version value recorded from step 4 above.
Verifying the update
On a UNIX/Linux system, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory.
$CANDLEHOME/bin/cinfo -t ax
