Platform Cluster Manager 4.1.x & Platform HPC 4.1.x

  1. Download IBM JRE 6.0 x86_64 from the following location: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral. (For POWER platform, download ppc64 version JRE tar package. The followings steps are using x86_64 as an example.)
  2. Copy the tar package into the management node. If high availability is enabled, copy the JRE tar package to standby management node, as well.
  3. If high availability is enabled, shutdown standby management node to avoid triggering high availability.
  4. On the management node, stop GUI and PERF services

HA disabled:

pmcadmin stop

perfadmin stop all

HA enabled:

egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

egosh service stop all

  1. On management node, extract new JRE files and replace some old folders with new ones.
