Before installing the fix pack

Be aware of the following considerations before installing this fix pack:

Prerequisites

You must already have Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager 8.5.0.0 and its prerequisites installed.

Fix pack package

The fix pack package is provided as an executable file for the Microsoft Windows platform and as an archive file for each supported non-Windows platform.

 

Installing the fix pack

Installing the fix pack on Microsoft Windows systems

  1. Before installing the fix pack, close the Management Console. Otherwise, fixes for the Management Console might fail to be applied. If this problem occurs, close the Management Console and install the fix pack again.
  2. Ensure that the fix pack is installed when there is no other process in progress, such as the daily restart task or loads.
  3. It is preferable not to have iView open while applying the fix pack. If iView is open, it might become unavailable after the fix pack is applied. In that case the "IBM Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager Tomcat" service needs to be restarted.
  4. Run the 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-Win32-FP001.exe file to install the fix pack.

    The fix pack detects all the Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager components that are installed on the system and automatically updates them.

    Note: If one or more interim fixes have already been installed on the system, the fix pack automatically detects them and takes the appropriate action to ensure they do not need to be reapplied.

Installing the fix pack on AIX

To apply the fix pack for Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager Actuator for AIX, follow these steps:

  1. Transfer the 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-AIXPPC32-FP001.tar.gz to a temporary directory on the AIX system by using FTP in binary mode.
  2. Decompress the upgrade package:
    # gzip -dc 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-AIXPPC32-FP001.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  3. Apply the correct executable permissions to the "apply.sh" file. For example:
    # chmod 755 ./apply.sh
  4. Apply the fix pack package, (The default installation directory is assumed.)
    # ./apply.sh /usr/lpp/IBM/TCIM/actuator
  5. Verify that the Actuator agent has started by inspecting the list of active processes:
    # ps -ef | grep agent

    Note: Only one instance of the Actuator agent should be active.

Installing the fix pack on Solaris

To apply the fix pack for Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager Actuator for Solaris, follow these steps:

  1. Transfer the 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-SolarisSparc-FP001.tar.gz to a temporary directory on the Solaris system by using FTP in binary mode.
  2. Decompress the upgrade package:
    # gzip -dc 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-SolarisSparc-FP001.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  3. Apply the correct executable permissions to the "apply.sh" file. For example:
    # chmod 755 ./apply.sh
  4. Apply the fix pack package, (The default installation directory is assumed.)
    # ./apply.sh /opt/IBM/TCIM/actuator
  5. Verify that the Actuator agent has started by inspecting the list of active processes:
    # ps -ef | grep agent

    Note: Only one instance of the Actuator agent should be active.

Installing the fix pack on HP-UX

To apply the fix pack for Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager Actuator for HP-UX, follow these steps:

  1. Transfer the 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-HPUXPARISC-FP001.tar.gz to a temporary directory on the HP-UX system by using FTP in binary mode.
  2. Decompress the upgrade package:
    # gzip -dc 8.5.0-TIV-TCIM-HPUXPARISC-FP001.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  3. Apply the correct executable permissions to the "apply.sh" file. For example:
    # chmod 755 ./apply.sh
  4. Apply the fix pack package, (The default installation directory is assumed.)
    # ./apply.sh /opt/IBM/TCIM/actuator
