Applying fix packs:Note: - Services to be taken back-up before doing this activity

1. Check the version of the WAS in that particular Machine and the http and plugin
versions too (./versionInfo.sh)
2. Check the java version of that particular machine from Java bin dir (cmd :- java
-version)
(Path: - Installation_root(WAS/IHS/Plugin) java jre bin)
3. Check the machines Operating System (uname -a)
4. Check which mount-point is having more free space? (df sm)
5. Go into the Particular Machine where Patch files are there
6. Copy the files to the /tmp mount-point (Use winSCP to copy them)
7. Then give them full permissions Recursively
8. See the /tmp mount point size using the cmd df sg or df -sm. If it is having
less space after coping them to /tmp mountpoint then move them to another mount
point (before moving them do as below mentioned)
10. See whether the full permissions are give. If not then give them complete user
permissions to that that particular folder (chmod R 777 <folder_name>) and then
move the folder
11. Now check whether the /tmp mount point & the other mountpoints are having
quite enough space for the process to takes place.
12. Now check whether any java process is running using ps ef|grep java
11. Also check the httpd process is running
12. Take the backup of those processes in a notepad along with the IP address of
that machine
13. Now take the back up of the Appserver and http server & also plugin (which is
generally been installed in the http path) using the command (tar cvf
/location_of_the_file_where_to_taken_bkup.tar Appserver or HTTP Server)
14. Now stop the processes. If the user id is not available to you, then you just kill
the process taking the permission of your team.
Process Steps: Fix Pack can be applied in to ways

a) Using the response file (i.e. in silent mode)

b) Using the GUI Mode
a) Silent Mode: Now use response file of the update installer. Take the copy of that file and
rename it and do the needful changes in that file (Like give the path of was
location and give the path of mediafiles/ fixpack files)
Cmd: ./update.sh options <response_file_location> -silent
b) GUI Mode: Execute the cmd from update installers path where the update.sh cmd is present
Cmd: export DISPLAY=IPaddress:0.0 (Example: - export DISPLAY=172.30.161.76:0.0)
xclock
./update.sh
(Note: - mean while from other duplicate session you open the file update.log
from tmp logs of the update installer as these files will be created and running
only during the process takes place, later the disappears)
Command (tail -100f update.log) to verify whether it is patched successfully or not
After completing the process for all the three in an order (was, Ihs & plugin) once
again verify the versions. This completes the patching process.
