Interim fixes and fix packs are applied to virtual system
instances as emergency fixes. You can apply emergency fixes to your
virtual system images.
Before you begin
You must be assigned the all access to the virtual system
instance or be assigned the Appliance administration role with full
permissions to perform these steps. The virtual system instance must
be started for service to be scheduled or applied. The emergency fix
must be added to the catalog before it can be applied to a virtual
system.
About this task
When you add a new emergency fix, you define the virtual
images for which the fix is applicable. The list of fixes available
when you schedule a service request is constructed using all the fixes
applicable to the virtual image used to create your virtual system
instance. If a fix has already been applied to your virtual system,
you can see it in the
History listing and it
is not included in the list of available fixes.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to apply an interim fix.
- Select a virtual system instance to which to apply the
fix from the Virtual System Instances window.
- Click the
Apply service
icon.
- Optional: Schedule a service request. By default,
the fix is applied immediately. To schedule it to be applied at a
later time, click Schedule service and provide
the necessary information.
- Click Select service level or fixes.
- Click Apply emergency fixes to see
and select the fix to apply. The emergency fix is applied to all virtual
machines in the virtual system instance. The status of the virtual
system instance shows that the service has been applied on the virtual
system.
- Check for errors. Check the following files
to ensure that no errors occurred during the process of applying the
emergency fixes:
- Remote_std_out.log
- Remote_std_err.log
You can access the log files from the Virtual System Instances window.
