Affected operating systems =============================== This rolling patch is for CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter 5.0MP1 components running on the Solaris operating system. 1.B. 5.0MP1-RP1 requirements/interoperability ============================================= - Patches required with this patch: None - Patches that conflict with this patch: None - Patches accumulated and made obsolete by this patch: None 1.C. Executable and patch manifest ================================== This section lists the patches that comprise CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter 5.0MP1-RP1. VRTSsmweb = 128056-01 VRTSccer = 139143-01 1.D. Files modified/added ========================== For a list of the files that are added/modified in 5.0MP1-RP1, open the following file: ER50MP1RP1_changed_files.txt ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Section 2: Installation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This section describes how to install the rolling patch. 2.A - Patch information ======================== The 5.0MP1-RP1 patch is contained in the following file: ER_50MP1_RP1.tar.Z 2.B - Preparing Enterprise Reporter for installation ===================================================== 1. Log in to the Enterprise Reporter Console. 2. Verify that there are no data rollups in progress. In the Enterprise Reporter Console, click Data Management > Data Rollup Configuration > Status. All data rollup processes must be complete. 3. Disable all data sources for data rollup. 2.C - Installing the patch =========================== 1. Download the files that you need and uncompress them as follows: - `uncompress ER_50MP1_RP1.tar.Z` (outcome of the above command will be ER_50MP1_RP1.tar) - To extract the tar ball: `tar -xvf ER_50MP1_RP1.tar` By default, the files are uncompressed to a ER/50MP1_RP1/unix directory. 2. Copy the unix directory on the host where CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter 5.0MP1 is installed. Please do not install from a mounted file system as we dont support it. 3. Run ./installrp from the unix directory. 4. Follow the install script prompts. When the installer prompts you to update database schema, if you choose option 1, the installer guides you through the process. If you choose option 2, refer to section 2.D for instructions. The installer displays the path to all logs at the end of the install. 2.D - Manually upgrading Enterprise Reporter database schema ============================================================= NOTE: You need to perform this procedure only if you choose option 2 in the 5.0MP1-RP1 installer. 1. If the Enterprise Reporter Management Server and the Enterprise Reporter database are on same hosts, perform the following steps: - Open a UNIX console and log in as root on the Enterprise Reporter Management Server. - Change the OS user to the user running the database server. For example: su - oracle 2. If the Enterprise Reporter Management Server and the Enterprise Reporter database are on different hosts, perform the following steps: - Open a UNIX console and log in as root on the Enterprise Reporter database host. - Provide access from the Enterprise Reporter database host to the directory on the Management Server host where the 5.0MP1-RP1 database scripts resides (enterprise_reporter/scripts/db/). You can either create a network share, or copy the directory contents to the database host. - Change the OS user to the user running the database server. For example: su . oracle 3. Upgrade the Enterprise Reporter database as follows: - Change to a writable directory. For example, the following command changes to the writable directory tmp. cd /tmp Note: The current directory should be writable as the SQL scripts create temporary files. - Connect to the Enterprise Reporter database as a sysdba user. sqlplus user_name/password@ER_database as sysdba - Run the following commands at the SQL*Plus prompt. mnt_path is the directory where the product installer is mounted. SQL> shutdown immediate SQL> startup restrict SQL> @/mnt_path/enterprise_reporter/scripts/db/saharaUpgradeRP1.sql Verify that no errors occur during the database upgrade before proceeding to the next step. At the end of a successful database upgrade, the message "Sahara schema successfully updated!" appears. - After the database upgrade, the upgrade script disconnects from the Enterprise Reporter database. Connect to the Enterprise Reporter database again as a dba user. sqlplus user_name/password@ER_database as sysdba - Run the following command at the SQL*Plus prompt. SQL> alter system disable restricted session; - Run the following command to exit from SQL*Plus. SQL> quit 2.E - Confirming installation ============================= After you install CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter 5.0MP1-RP1, you can verify that all patches and files have been added/modified by confirming that your host has been updated as follows: Product version will remain as Veritas CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter 5.0MP1 by Symantec. The command 'showrev -p | grep VRTS' will list patch IDs 128056-01 and 139143-01. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Section 3: What's new in this rolling patch ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 5.0MP1-RP1 contains and builds upon CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter 5.0MP1 functionality, providing the following new capabilities: - Support for rolling up data from CommandCentral 5.1 Management Servers - Ability to roll up the following attributes: - For NetApp unified storage devices, quota capacities are rolled up as qtree measures/facts. You can use these attributes for billing. - For hosts, cluster related information that identifies if the host is part of a cluster, the type of cluster to which the host belongs, and the version of the cluster. - For LUNs, physical disk size, disk vendor information, vendor layout, number of array ports to which the LUN is connected, and if the rollup is based on an external LUN. You can use these attributes to better define storage tiers. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Section 4: Issues fixed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ============================================================================= Incident Description ============================================================================= 1202272 After importing business views, not all of the rejected or invalid objects are present in the reject log file ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1217007 Enterprise Reporter does not have the ability to update a data source's version if it changes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1384313 On the Dashboard, ToolTips do not display in the View Reports tree (left panel) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1431899 When data rollup fails, the descriptions do not provide enough detail about why data rollup failed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1450032 If a host does not have a value for OS_Detail, the value displays as "0" when it should display an empty value =============================================================================
