Installing the fix pack on a Multi-Master setup
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.
- Stop WebSphere Liberty 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\Liberty\bin
Linux
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty/bin
- Stop the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server.
Windows
stopServer.bat
Linux
./stopServer.sh - Stop Agent on all the master servers, in any sequence.
- Open a command line.
- Go to the GKLM_INSTALL_HOME\agent directory.
Windows
C:\Program Files\IBM\GKLMV42\agent
Linux
/opt/IBM/GKLMV42/agent - Stop the Agent.
Windows
stopAgent.bat WAS_HOME
For example: stopAgent.bat "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty"
Linux
./stopAgent.sh WAS_HOME
For example: ./stopAgent.sh /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty
- 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
- For steps to install the fix pack, see Installing the fix pack.
- To verify the installation:
- Log in to IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager and check the version number.
- Ensure that the master server is running and available for use.
Depending on your platform, see the relevant section:
Installing on a Kubernetes cluster
Install IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager container V4.2.0.3 (target).
In the Helm charts, ensure that you configure the same database and volume details that were referenced by the earlier container (source).
For more information, see Install on a Kubernetes cluster.
Installing on a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster
Install IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager container V4.2.0.3 (target).
In the Helm charts, ensure that you configure the same database and volume details that were referenced by the earlier container (source).
For more information, see Install on a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Post fix-pack installation activities
- Run the following scripts.
- On Windows:
- Log in as the administrator user and open the Db2 command prompt.
- Run the following commands:
cd C:\Program Files\IBM\DB2GKLMV42\BIN db2 connect to klmdb42 user <Db2_USER> using <Db2_PASSWORD> db2 -td# -vf C:\gklm42properties\scripts\gklmsql-fp.db2
- On Linux:
- Log in as the Db2 user and open a terminal.
- Run the following commands:
