Installing a hot fix

NOTE: FSE hot fixes are designed to solve the problems that emerge between release dates of FSE releases and/or FSE system maintenance releases. If an FSE hot fix and a particular SMR containing this hot fix are available, you are recommended to use the SMR rather than the hot fix.

FSE system maintenance releases and FSE hot fixes

This section instructs you how to install, determine, and uninstall FSE system maintenance releases and FSE hot fixes.

Installing a system maintenance release

FSE system maintenance releases are installed in the same way as FSE release software. You should always install the latest available system maintenance release. Consider the following, before installing a particular system maintenance release:

•An FSE system maintenance release may not be installed if another system maintenance release that is labelled with a higher consecutive number has already been installed, except to fall back to the previous version if the new system maintenance release introduces problems.

For details on installing FSE release software, see chapter ”Installing FSE software”.

For details on upgrading FSE release software, see chapter ”Upgrading from previous FSE releases”.

Determining the installed system maintenance release

To determine which FSE system maintenance release is installed on the system, proceed as follows:

1.Invoke the following command:

# rpm -qa grep fse

2.Inspect the output of the rpm command: fse-server-3.3.1-142.sles9fse-cli-user-3.3.1-142.sles9fse-agent-3.3.1-142.sles9fse-client-3.3.1-142.sles9fse-common-3.3.1-142.sles9fse-cli-admin-3.3.1-142.sles9

This example shows that on the host that is part of the FSE implementation, the system maintenance release 3.3.1 is installed, and the platform is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

Uninstalling a system maintenance release

FSE system maintenance releases are uninstalled in the same way as FSE release software.

For details on installing FSE release software, see chapter ”Uninstalling FSE software”.

FSE hot fixes are installed in the same way as FSE release software. Consider the following, before installing a particular hot fix:

•An FSE hot fix may not be installed if another hot fix that is labelled with a higher consecutive number has already been installed, except to fall back to the previous hot fix if the new hot fix introduces problems.

•An FSE hot fix may not be installed if a system maintenance release that includes this hot fix has already been installed.

For details on installing FSE release software, see chapter ”Installing FSE software”.

For details on upgrading FSE release software, see chapter ”Upgrading from previous FSE releases”.
