Action:

ihs_80_install_plugin_fixpack

Summary:

Installs Fix Packs and Fixes for IBM HTTP Server V8.0 Plug-in. Installs IBM Installation Manager if it is not already installed.

Details:


IBM HTTP Server Plug-in must be installed before you can apply a maintenance
patch; this action does not install the IBM HTTP Server Plug-in. [1]

Required Media:


RAFW_HOME/media/OS_DIR/ihs/80/patches/<IHS_PATCHES>
RAFW_HOME/media/OS_DIR/im/<IM_VERSION>/install_image

Required Data:


The install.properties file[2] at the node scope is required. The
configuration generator creates this file and sets these properties:

ALLOW_NON_ROOT_SILENT_INSTALL, BASE_HOST_NAME[3], HTTP_PORT, IHS_ADMIN_PORT,
IHS_HOME, IHS_VERSION, ND_HOST_NAME[4], OS_GROUP[5],OS_USER[5],PLUGIN_HOME,
PLUGIN_INSTALL_TYPE, WEB_SERVER_DEF_NAME, IM_HOME, IM_CACHE_HOME[7], IHS_PATCHES[8]

IHS_PATCHES in install.properties specifies a comma-separated list of fix pack
directories or fix packs; they are applied in the order listed.

Example: IHS_PATCHES=ihs80_fp2

configure.properties in the cell scope[2] directory contains the following
relevant properties:
IM_VERSION[6] The version of IBM Installation Manager to install

Optional Data:


IHS80_PATCHES[8] in install.properties overrides the default fix packs.
Specify a comma-separated list of fix pack directories or fix packs;
they are applied in the order listed.

Example: IHS80_PATCHES=ihs80_fp2,ifpm40361

You can also override the list of patches being applied on the command
like by supplying the patch[8] command line option. This can be supplied
as follows:
-opt "patch=ihs80_fp2,ifpm40361"

Supported Modes:

execute

Supported Scopes:

node    

Restrictions:

This action and other install actions are not supported on z/OS target systems.

Notes:


[1] The WebSphere Customization Toolbox is required in order to configure
the HTTP Server Plug-in within the Application Server.

[2] The configuration generator creates the install.properties file at the node
scope in RAFW_HOME/user/environments.

node scope: <env_name>/cells/<cell_name>/nodes/<node_name>

[3] Applies to stand-alone cells

[4] Applies to network deployment cells

[5] Applies to UNIX and Linux environments

[6] IM_VERSION can either be 143, 144, 150, 151, 152, or Latest. IBM Installation Manager
is required in order to install WebSphere products at version 8.

[7] As the installation is happening, this directory can get fairly large.
Its best to make sure this directory has room to grow.

[8] Only a single patch variable will be used when applying fixpacks/patches
to WebSphere Application Server. The command line variable specified by
the -opt switch takes precedence over all other variables. If it is not
supplied then the IHS80_PATCHES variable is used. If it is not set then
the IHS_PATCHES variable is used which should always be supplied in the
NODE scope install.properties.
