Prerequisites

Prerequisites include:

IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator Fix Pack 1 (2.3.0.1) for 2.3 must be installed before applying this iFix.

IMPORTANT: Before applying this iFix, ensure that all the vCenter clusters in the VMware regions are set DRS enabled, which means that the DRS function is opened and set to automatically; otherwise, IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator will fail to manage the VMs previously deployed in that cluster.

IMPORTANT: Take the snapshots of all the instances before proceeding further it is better to have backup incase of failure, you can always revert back.

Review the Software prerequisites page in the IBM Knowledge Center to ensure your environment meets the minimum hypervisor and operating system requirements, especially if you are upgrading from a previous release of IBM Cloud Orchestrator.

Installation Instructions

Important Notice: Please ensure your environment have met all the requirements in Section II before applying this iFix.


  1. Backup your IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator installation

    Backup the Central Servers and Region Server virtual machines.

    For VMware hosted virtual machines, review the Taking Snaphots topic for information about taking snapshots of the virtual machines.

  2. Copy and extract 2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0008.tar on Central Server 1

    Extract 2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0008.tar in a directory of your choice <your_dir> by running the following command:

    Note:
    Do not place the package under /root path

    tar -xvf 2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0008.tar

  3. Download iFix7 (interim fix: 2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0007) from Fix Central

    Extract it using the command:

    tar -xvf 2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0007.tar

    After extracting, copy the the 2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0007 folder in the ifix8 (2.3.0.1-CSI-ISCO-IF0008) folder.

    The structure will look like:

  5. Ensure the public key from Central Server 1 is available on all KVM Compute nodes.

    Command to execute as root on Central Server 1 for all KVM Compute nodes:

    ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/smartcloud.pub <IP-Of-KVM-Computenode>

  6. Run the iFix installation script on Central Server 1.

    From the directory where you unpacked the iFix package, run the iFix installation script using the following command:

    ./ifix8.py --cs2=<cs2> --cs3=<cs3> --cs4=<cs4> --rs=<regionservers> --cn=<compute_node> --wasavil=<wasviladmin> --waspvil=<password> --wasabpm=<wasbpmadmin> --waspbpm=<password>

    Example:

    ./ifix8.py --cs2=10.10.0.12 --cs3=10.10.0.13 --cs4=10.10.0.14 --rs=10.10.0.15,10.10.0.16 --wasavil=wasadmin --waspvil=passw0rd --wasabpm=admin --waspbpm=passw0rd

    You can use ./ifix8.py -h to show the usage.

    Usage: ifix8.py [options]

    Options:
        -h, --help            show this help message and exit
        --cs2=CS2             hostname/ip address of central server 2
        --cs3=CS3             hostname/ip address of central server 3
        --cs4=CS4             hostname/ip address of central server 4
        --rs=RS               (optional)list of hostnames/ip addresses of region servers format server1,server2,server3,...
        --cn=CN               (optional)list of hostnames/ip addresses of compute nodes format compute1,compute2,compute3,...
        --wasavil=WASADMINVIL                           virtual image library WAS administrator ID to be used during the installation procedure
        --waspvil=WASPASSWORDVIL                  virtual image library WAS administrator password
        --wasabpm=WASADMINBPM                     business process manager WAS administrator ID to be used during the installation procedure

Test Results

Definitions

Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed.
This includes:

  • Coding errors that cause a regression
  • Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression
  • Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression

Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed.
This includes:

  • Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new
  • APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression


Notes:
  • Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error
  • Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error)
  • Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition

There are no known regressions to report.
