Storage Foundation Manager 2.1 Rollup Patch 1 (SFM 2.1RP1)

Date: 2010-01-21
OS: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, and Windows

Downloading SFM2.1RP1
====================
Click on the download link, to download the binaries on your system. You might have to download multiple binaries, depending on your environment (One download per platform). The Central Management Server (CMS) downloads are in .BIN (Solaris, Linux) and in .EXE (Windows) format. The Managed Host (MH) downloads are in .tar.gz format

Installing SFM 2.1RP1 for the CMS (Central Management Server)
============================================================
The CMS binaries are available as a self extracting BIN file for Linux and Solaris, and an EXE for Windows platforms. 
After downloading the binaries, use ftp, scp or any other file transfer mechanisms to copy the file to the management server.  Executing these binaries will install RP on the central management server. The user will not be prompted with any questions.
If the Central Management Server is configured in High Availability mode, the patch needs to be applied on both the active and passive nodes.

Installing SFM2.1RP1 for the MH (Managed Hosts)
==============================================
There are 2 mechanisms to deploy SFM 2.1RP1 on the Managed Hosts

1> Deploy the patch on the managed host by using SFM Deployment mechanism:
a. Once the tar.gz file for your Managed Hosts is downloaded and uncompressed, upload these binaries to the Central Server using the Settings -> Deployment -> Package/Patch functionality. 
b. Once the upload is done, the patch details will be visible in the table labeled "Package/Patch Repository".
c. Select the particular patch and use "Install Package/Patch" operation to deploy the patch on the managed host(s).
d. Repeat this sequence of steps for every managed host platform in your environment

2> Deploy the patch on the managed host using OS native commands by going to individual machines:
a. Once the tar.gz file for your Managed Hosts is downloaded, gunzip and un-tar the file, to retrieve the native package / patch. Use gunzip to extract the files on UNIX. For Windows, use Winzip or a similar utility
b. The extracted files contain a directory, which contains another directory for the OS platform flavor.
c. Within the OS platform flavor directory, the OS native patch will be present which can be deployed using OS native commands.

Solaris - once you untar you should see a directory named "141270-02". You need to use the following command to install the patch: patchadd -M 141270-02

Linux - once you untar you should see a directory named "VRTSsfmh-2.1.229.0". Inside that you will find a ".rpm" file. You can use rpm -Uvh [file] to upgrade the package

Windows - once you untar you should see a directory named "VRTSsfmh-2.1.229.0". Inside that you will find different ".msi" files for 32bit / 64 bit. You can double click on the correct msi based on the host architecture to upgrade the package

AIX - once you untar you should see a directory named VRTSsfmh-2.1.229.0. Inside that you will a VRTSsfmh.bff. Copy the .bff file to temporary location say /tmp. You can use "installp -d /tmp/VRTSsfmh.bff VRTSsfmh" to upgrade the package.

HP - once you untar you should see a directory like UNOF_39818. Copy the directory to /var/spool. Then use "swinstall -s /var/spool/UNOF_39818 UNOF_39818" install the patch.
