    EnhancementDescription

    Auto diagnosis of JServer failure

    With this update of infrastructure Management Server, if JServer fails to initialize, JServer automatically diagnoses and reports the cause of the failure including the duration of each failure in the jserverautodiagnosis.log file. This log file also provides the details of processes that JServer initializes, including the initialization time taken by each process. 

    JServer also reports the status of its initialization on multiple platforms in the jserver_initialization_report_<timestamp>.html file. The log and HTML files are located in the following folder:

    (Windows) InfrastructureManagementInstallDirectory\pw\pronto\logs\

    (Linux/Solaris) InfrastructureManagementInstallDirectory/pw/pronto/logs/ 

    View events from a remote cell on the TrueSight console

    From Events page of the TrueSight console, you can select a remote cell as an event source and view and manage these events on the Events page. For more information, see Viewing events from a remote cell Open link .

    Downloading the update

    1. Create a directory in which to place the downloaded files.

      Note

      On Microsoft Windows computers, ensure that the new directory is only one level into the directory structure. The EPD package creates a directory in the temporary directory when you extract the files, and the directory that contains the installation image must not be in a directory deeper than two levels into the directory structure.

    2. Go to http://www.bmc.com/available/epd.html.
    3. At the logon prompt, enter your user ID and password, and click Submit.
    4. On the Export Compliance and Access Terms page, provide the required information, accept the terms of the agreements, and click Continue.
    5. If you are accessing this site for the first time, create an EPD profile to specify the languages and platforms that you want to see, according to the EPD site help; otherwise, skip to step 6.
    6. Verify that the correct profile is displayed for your download purpose, or use the Profile list to select a different profile.
    7. From the Component View (the default view), in the Filter Products text box under Products, type BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management and press Enter, or click Go.

    You can apply this update using either GUI-based installation or silent installation.

    GUI-based installation

    1. Run the installation utility for your operating system:
      • (Windows) From Windows\Disk1, double-click install.cmd.
      • (Linux) From Linux/Disk1, run install.sh.
      • (Solaris) From Solaris/Disk1, run install.sh.
    2. On the Welcome page, click Next.
    3. On the license agreement page, select I agree to the terms of the license agreement, and click Next.

    4. On the Update Confirmation page, click Yes, and click Next.

      Important

      After you confirm, the Infrastructure Management Server is stopped temporarily and then restarted automatically after the upgrade.

    5. On the Installation Preview page, review the information and click Previous to make changes, or click Install.
    6. After the update is complete, click View Log to view the log files and confirm that the update process was successful.
    7. Click Done to exit the installation wizard.

    Silent installation

    1. From the command prompt, navigate to the following directory for your operating system:
      • (Windows) Windows\Disk1
      • (Linux) Linux/Disk1
      • (Solaris) Solaris/Disk1
    2. Customize the server_update_silent.options file as required.
    3. To install the update by using the server_update_silent.options file, enter the following command at the command prompt:

      • (Windows) install.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fullyQualifiedPath>\server_update_silent.options

      • (Linux/Solaris) ./install.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE=<fullyQualifiedPath>/server_update_silent.options

        fullyQualifiedPath indicates the complete path where you have saved the server_update_silent.options file. If the fullyQualifiedPath parameter contains a space in it, enclose the path within double quotation marks.

        Example for Windows

        install.cmd -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="C:\Program Files\TSIM Installation\server_update_silent.options"

        Example for Linux/Solaris

        ./install.sh -i silent -DOPTIONS_FILE="/opt/TSIM Installation/server_update_silent.options"

    Check for a successful update by using the pw viewhistory command to view a log file of patches and hotfixes applied to Infrastructure Management Server. You can also use the pw version command to check the latest version number.

    To apply this update in the high availability deployment

    For high availability deployment, apply this update on the Primary server only. Running this update on the Secondary server is not required. Both Primary and Secondary servers are synchronized automatically reflecting the Primary server’s data on the Secondary server.

    Troubleshooting the update

    This section provides information that can help you troubleshoot problems that might occur during or after applying this update. 

    Restoring the Infrastructure Management version 10.0 if the update fails

    • (Windows) installationDirectory\TrueSight\TSIMServerBackup
    • (Linux/Solaris) installationDirectory/TrueSight/TSIMServerBackup

    Restore the Infrastructure Management Server 10.0:

    1. Stop the Infrastructure Management Server if it is running.
    2. In the TSIMServerBackup folder, Copy the pw folder and paste it outside the TSIMServerBackup folder in the TrueSight folder. 
    3. The TrueSight folder already contains the pw folder. Select Yes, when prompted for Confirm Folder Replace.
    4. Select the Do this for all current items check box and select Yes. 
    5. In the Copy File dialog box, select Copy and Replace and the Apply this for all conflicts checkfox.
