Date: 2011-Oct-13 OS: [CommandCentral Storage Management Server Platform: Windows, Solaris]; [Target Platform: AIX] Etrack Incidents: 1973566, 1973567 This HotFix provides the following enhancements: [ - Enables correlation of IBM LPAR hosts with information discovered from HMC by LPARExplorer (e1973566) => LPAR discovery through HMC requires you to upgrade the Management Server to CommandCentral 5.2 RU1. - StorageExplorer running on IBM LPAR hosts now detects and discovers VSCSI device handle, without attempting a SCSI enquiry on them (e1973567) ] Installation and Uninstallation Instructions: =========================================================================== Applying the HotFix =========================================================================== A - Overview of the Release HotFix --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apply the HotFix (VRTSccs-F520002569617) to the 5.2 AIX LPAR Managed Hosts. This HotFix is only meant for AIX Managed Hosts that are LPARs. B - Deploying the HotFix from a Windows Management Server -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The examples in the following procedure assume that you installed CommandCentral on a 32-bit host in the default installation directory. 1. Copy ccs-win-5.2HF520002569617w.zip to a temporary location, such as C:\Temp 2. After you extract the hotfix, you see the following: - patches - patches\VRTSccs-F520002569617.tar.gz - README (this file) 3. To push the HotFix to managed hosts, run the following commands from the Management Server: - Go to the HAL bin directory: "C:\Program Files\VERITAS\CommandCentral Storage\HAL\bin" - Type the following command: halsecurity login You may have to enter the password for the 'admin' account that you use to log in to the Console. The default password for this account is 'password' (without single quotes). - To get a list of all managed hosts in a text file, run the following command: perl CHMGetManagedHosts.pl -f C:\Temp\mhs.txt The text file includes the list of all managed hosts. - Edit this file, keeping only the names of those hosts that you want to update. - To deploy the HotFix to the hosts listed in C:\Temp\mhs.txt, run the following command: perl PushUpgrade.pl -u "C:\Temp\VRTSccs-F520002569617.tar.gz" -H C:\Temp\mhs.txt 4. To verify the installation, check the installation logs on the relevant managed hosts as follows: - Go to the CommandCentral HAL Data directory: /var/VRTSccs/data/VRTShal/maint/\VRTSccs-F520002569617//output - Check if there are any errors in the stderr.txt file. - Check the detailed logs for the hotfix application in the stdout.txt file. 5. Verify the updated version as follows: - Open cc_version.txt from the following directory: /opt/VRTS/version/ - Check the VERSION. It should look like this VERSION=5.2 - Check the FIXID. It should look like this FIXID=F520002569617 DATE= Thu Oct 13 15:11:34 2011 DESCRIPTION=CC Storage 5.2 HotFix for AIX Managed Hosts that are LPARs OBSOLETES=F520002242401 C - Deploying the HotFix from a Solaris Management Server --------------------------------------------------------- The examples in the following procedure assume that you installed CommandCentral on a 32-bit host in the default installation directory. 1. Copy the file ccs-sol_sparc-5.2HF520002569617u.tar.gz to a temporary location, such as /tmp. Unpack the file. 2.

The default password for this account is 'password' (without single quotes). - To get a list of all managed hosts in a text file, run the following command: ./perl CHMGetManagedHosts.pl -f /tmp/mhs.txt The text file includes the list of all managed hosts and the Management Server. - Edit mhs.txt, keeping only the names of those hosts that you want to update - To deploy the HotFix to the hosts listed in /tmp/mhs.txt, run the following command: ./perl PushUpgrade.pl -u /tmp/VRTSccs-F520002569617.tar.gz -H /tmp/mhs.txt 4.
