You can update Load Balancer to a later version using the IBM® Installation Manager GUI.
Before you begin
Make sure that the web-based or local service repository location
is listed and checked or that the
Search service repositories
during installation and updates option is selected on
the Repositories panel in your Installation Manager preferences. For
more information on using service repositories with Installation Manager,
read the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.
Procedure
- Log on to your system.
- Stop all the executors and servers that are related to
Load Balancer.
- Start Installation Manager.
- Perform the update process.
- Click Update.
Note: If
you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that you registered with
on the program's web site.
- Select the package group to update.
Tip: If you select Update all, Installation
Manager will search all of the added and predefined repositories for
updates to all of the package groups that it has installed. Use this
feature only if you have full control over which fixes are contained
in the targeted repositories. If you create and point to a set of
custom repositories that include only the specific fixes that you
want to install, you should be able to use this feature confidently.
If you enable searching service repositories or install fixes directly
from other live web-based repositories, then you might not want to
select this option so that you can select only the fixes that you
want to install for each offering on subsequent panels.
- Click Next.
- Select the version to which you want to update under
the section for IBM Websphere Edge Components: Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6.
- Select any fixes that you want to install.
Any
recommended fixes are selected by default.
If there are recommended
fixes, you can select the option to show only recommended fixes and
hide non-recommended fixes.
- Click Next.
- Accept the terms in the license agreements, and click Next.
- Review the summary information, and click Update.
- If the installation is successful, the program displays a message
indicating that installation is successful.
- If the installation is not successful, click View Log
File to troubleshoot the problem.
- Click Finish.
- Click to close Installation Manager.
