DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Upgrading IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) Base Component in a DB2 pureScale environment

You can upgrade IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) using either the DB2® fix pack installer or the installSAM install script that is included in the IBM DB2 pureScale® Feature for Enterprise Server Edition install media.

Before you begin

Whether you are using the DB2 fix pack installer (installFixPack command), installSAM, or uninstallSAM, you must meet the following basic prerequisites for installing, upgrading, or uninstalling SA MP:
  • To install and use SA MP, your system configuration and intended use of SA MP must meet the terms of the license that comes with the SA MP that is integrated with the DB2 pureScale Feature
  • To install or upgrade SA MP your system architecture must be supported by the SA MP that is integrated with the DB2 pureScale Feature
  • You must have root authority to install SA MP.
  • the peer domain must be offline or in maintenance mode on the current node
To upgrade SA MP using installFixPack, perform the following steps before installation:
  1. Go to the Passport Advantage® website and obtain a permanent SA MP license file (sam32.lic or sam31.lic) from your entitled DB2 Version 9.8 activation CD.
  2. Copy the permanent license file into the Fixpack-path/db2/platform/tsamp/license directory where Fixpack-path represents the path where the fix pack image is located and platform represents the operating system used.
  3. Remove the sam31tb.lic or the sam32tb.lic file from the fix pack image. The installation will fail if you do not delete these additional license files.
  4. Continue with the upgrade process.

Procedure

To upgrade SA MP in a DB2 pureScale environment, first update the TSA binaries, then upgrade the peer domain:

  1. Update the TSA binaries by running either the installFixPack, or running the installSAM command:
    1. Run the installFixPack command
    2. To run the installSAM install script: The installSAM install script is located on the DB2 pureScale Feature for Enterprise Server Edition install media at the following location: 
      db2/platform/tsamp
      where platform refers to the appropriate hardware platform. For information about using installSAM see: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms Installation and Configuration Guide Version 3.2 or later
  2. To upgrade the Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT) peer domain:

    You can perform either a node-by-node migration or migrate the entire domain in 1 step. For more information, see the IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms Installation and Configuration Guide Version 3.2 or later (SC34-2584-01) and go to Chapter 1 "Installing on UNIX and Linux", section "Installing and upgrading IBM Tivoli System Automation". Complete the steps in the "Migrating an entire domain" section.
