Installing the fix pack on a Multi-Master is set up



Prerequisites 

If the original primary master server is acting as a standby master server, promote it to primary and then, install the fix pack. Otherwise, the database updates are not applied to the cluster.
To promote a master server to primary, see Promote to primary. 

To install the fix pack
  1. Stop WebSphere Application Server on all the master servers, in any sequence.
    • Open a command line.
    • Go to the WAS_HOME\bin directory.
      Windows
      C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin
      Linux
      /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin
       
    • Stop the IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager server.
      Windows
      stopServer.bat server1 -username wasadmin -password mypwd
      Linux
      ./stopServer.sh server1 -username wasadmin -password mypwd 
  2. Stop Agent on all the master servers, in any sequence.
    • Open a command line.
    • Go to the SKLM_INSTALL_HOME\agent directory.
      Windows
      C:\Program Files\IBM\SKLMV301\agent
      Linux
      /opt/IBM/SKLMV301/agent
    • Stop the Agent.
      Windows
      stopAgent.bat WAS_HOME
      For example: stopAgent.bat "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"
      Linux
      ./stopAgent.sh WAS_HOME
      For example: ./stopAgent.sh /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
       
  3. Apply fix pack on each master server and verify the installation.
    Complete this step in the following sequence:
    • Primary master server
    • Principal standby master server
    • Auxiliary standby master servers
    • Non-HADR master servers

      For steps to install the fix pack, see Installing the fix pack.
      To verify the installation:
      • Log in to IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager and check the version number.
      • Ensure that the master server is running and available for use.
