C. Updating IBM Dynamic System Analysis



Uninstalling the IBM Systems Director LSI plug-in

There is an incompatibility between the newer releases of IBM Dynamic System Analysis and IBM Systems Director LSI plug-in because both products use the same LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Because the LSI plug-in is no longer supported on IBM Systems Director version 6.3.2 or later, the product can be removed from the system.


1. Determine if the LSI plug-in is installed on the node by running the following command:

    rpm -qa | grep lsi_mr_hhr

    If the command returns lsi_mr_hhr-00.32.0503-sles..., the LSI plug-in is installed. Continue to the next step.

    If the command does not return lsi_mr_hhr-00.32.0503-sles, the LSI plug-in is not installed. Skip to the Updating Dynamic System Analysis procedure.


2. Run the following command to remove the LSI plug-in from the node:

    rpm -e lsi_mr_hhr


3. Verify that the LSI plug-in was removed from the node by running the command:

    rpm -qa | grep lsi_mr_hhr


4. Remove all LSI Pegasus environment variables from /etc/environment with the command:
    sed -i '/pegasus/d' /etc/environment


5. Clear the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable by running the following command:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""


Updating Dynamic System Analysis

1. Download the IBM Dynamic System Analysis update using the link provided in the Download Link column of the security bulletin.


2. On each node, create a temporary directory using the following command:

    mkdir -p /opt/ibm/toolscenter/dsa


3. Copy the ibm_utl_dsa_<version>.bin file into the /opt/ibm/toolscenter/dsa temporary directory.


4. Change the file permission so that the update is executable using the command:

    chmod +x /opt/ibm/toolscenter/dsa/ibm_utl_dsa_dsyte1d-9.61_portable_sles11_x86-64.bin


5. Run a test to collect data from the node:

    /opt/ibm/toolscenter/dsa/ibm_utl_dsa_dsyte1d-9.61_portable_sles11_x86-64.bin -b -text -x -c -d /tmp/DSA/

    Note: If you encounter an "26837 Segmentation fault" error, it indicates the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable might not be set properly. Run in the procedure in the Uninstalling the IBM Systems Director LSI plug-in section and verify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set properly.
