Applying service

 

Service updates require hard disk space for installation. In addition, the installation process requires an identical amount of disk space to save the previous level. For example, a 16 MB service update requires 32 MB of space. This allows a service level to be removed, and the previous level to be restored automatically. To apply service named patchname:

1. End all WebSphere MQ activity:

   1. Log in as root.

   2. Use the endmqm command to stop all running queue managers.

   3. Stop any listeners associated with the queue managers, using the command:

      endmqlsr -m QMgrName

   4. To check that you have stopped all of them, enter the following:

      ps -ef | grep mq

      Check that there are no processes listed that are running command lines beginnings amq or runmq. Ignore any that start with amqi.

2. Change into the directory containing the maintenance packages.

3. Enter the following:

    pkgadd -d packagename

   where packagename corresponds to the image file name, for example,

   mqm-U1234.img

   For further information on using pkgadd to install software packages, refer to the Solaris documentation.

4. Follow the on screen instructions.
