Abstract:  When validating an application edition, the cloned validation cluster uses the DefaultCoreGroup by default.

Description/symptom of problem:  

PK96341 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
During validation of an application edition, the new validation 
cluster which is cloned from the original validation cluster    
defaults to "DefaultCoreGroup" rather than using the coregroup  
information from the original cluster.                          

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
None                                                            

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 Users of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
Version 6.1.0.5 or earlier

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When validating an application
edition, the cloned validation
cluster uses the DefaultCoreGroup by
default.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

As a cloned validation cluster is created during the
application edition validation process, the core group
information of the original cluster is not used. As a result,
the cloned validation cluster uses the DefaultCoreGroup by
default.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The core group information of the original cluster is used      
during the creation of the cloned cluster so that the cloned    
cluster defaults to using the same core group as the original   
cluster.

The Update Installer for V5.0 does not have a maintenance directory. It uses fixpacks and fixes as the location of the unpacked files.

Customers must be at V6.1.0.17 or newer of the Update Installer.  This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

1) Copy 6.1.0.5-WS-WXDOP-IFPK96341.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (6.1.0.5-WS-WXDOP-IFPK96341.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.

7) Install the maintenance package.

8) Restart WebSphere
