Installing and Uninstalling Liberty iFix for WebSphere eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment

How To


Summary

This article describes how to apply and roll back a Liberty iFix for a WebSphere eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment (XSLD). Use IBM Installation Manager to manage the iFix installation. The steps vary depending on whether you are applying the iFix to a running XSLD environment or installing it together with an XSLD fix pack.

Steps

Applying a Liberty iFix

If XSLD is running

Complete the following steps:

  1. Stop the XSLD servers by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/stopXSLD.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/stopXSLD.bat
  2. Apply the iFix by using IBM Installation Manager.
  3. Start the XSLD servers by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/startXSLD.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/startXSLD.bat

  4. Update the LTPA keys by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/updateLTPAKeys.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/updateLTPAKeys.bat

    Note: Running updateLTPAKeys stops the XSLD servers.
     

If an XSLD fix pack and a Liberty iFix are installed together

Complete the following steps:

  1. After installation is complete, start the XSLD servers by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/startXSLD.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/startXSLD.bat

  2. Update the LTPA keys by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/updateLTPAKeys.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/updateLTPAKeys.bat

    Note: Running updateLTPAKeys stops the XSLD servers.
     

Rolling back a Liberty iFix

Complete the following steps:

  1. Stop the XSLD servers by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/stopXSLD.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/stopXSLD.bat
  2. Roll back the Liberty upgrade by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/rollbackLibertyUpgrade.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/rollbackLibertyUpgrade.bat
  3. Roll back the Liberty iFix by using IBM Installation Manager.

  4. Regenerate the LTPA keys by running the appropriate script for your operating system:

    • Linux/UNIX: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/generateLTPAKeys.sh

    • Windows: 

      <XSLD_installation_location>/wxs/generateLTPAKeys.bat

    Note: Running generateLTPAKeys stops the XSLD servers.
