(1) How to perform overwrite installation of JP1/Software Distribution Manager in a cluster system environment

If you use an Embedded RDB relational database, you must overwrite the database in both the active and standby servers to upgrade JP1/Software Distribution Manager in a cluster system environment.

To perform overwrite installation of JP1/Software Distribution Manager:

  1. Delete the Registry Copy settings in the generic-service resource Remote Install Server.
    If you perform overwrite installation without deleting the Registry Copy settings, the installed components may not function correctly.
  2. Place the generic-service resource Remote Install Server offline.
  3. Place the generic-service resource Asset Information Synchronous Service offline.
  4. Execute the netmdb_stop.bat command stored in JP1/Software-Distribution Manager-installation-directory\BIN.
    Check the message to make sure that Embedded RDB has stopped.
  5. Place the generic-service resource HiRDB/ClusterService_JN1 offline.
  6. Execute the jamemb_dbstop.bat command stored in JP1/Software-Distribution-installation-directory\jp1asset\exe.
    Check the message to make sure that Embedded RDB has stopped.
  7. Place the generic-service resource HiRDB/ClusterService_AM1 offline.#
  8. Install JP1/Software Distribution Manager on the executing server by overwriting.
  9. Place the generic-service resource HiRDB/ClusterService_JN1 online.
  10. Use Database Manager to upgrade the database from Upgrade database.
    In the Cluster System Environment Settings dialog box, specify the settings in the same manner as when a new database is created.
  11. Place the generic-service resource HiRDB/ClusterService_AM1 online.#
  12. From the Start menu, choose Software Distribution Manager, Asset Information Manager, Setup, and then Database Manager to upgrade the database by using Upgrade the database.#
  13. Execute the netmdb_stop.bat command that is stored in JP1/Software-Distribution-Manager-installation-directory\BIN to terminate the database. Check the message to make sure that Embedded RDB has terminated.
  14. Place the generic-service resource HiRDB/ClusterService_JN1 offline.
  15. Execute the jamemb_dbstop.bat command that is stored in JP1/Software-Distribution-installation-directory\jp1asset\exe to terminate the database. Check the message to make sure that Embedded RDB has terminated.#
  16. Place the generic-service resource HiRDB/ClusterService_AM1 offline.#
  17. As the cluster system administrator, move the group and set the owner to the standby server.
  18. Install JP1/Software Distribution Manager by overwriting at the standby server.
  19. Execute steps 9 and 16 at the standby server.
  20. As the cluster system administrator, move the group and set the owner to the executing server.
  21. Enter the Registry Copy settings for the generic-service resource Remote Install Server.
    Enter the settings according to the information provided in 11.1.2 Creating an environment that enables failover of JP1/Software Distribution.
