Patch description

A patch provides one or more fixes to an EMC Smarts product. A patch can only be applied to the specific major or minor release and Service Pack of the particular product for which it is intended; this is called the product's baseline.

Note:

All EMC Smarts 9.5.0.x products will not be released for every patch release. A patch may apply only to a subset of products, for example, the next patch release may be only for SAM and IP. Also, if the latest patch version for all products is 1 and Patch 2 is only for SAM and IP, the next patch number irrespective of which product is released will be Patch 3. In addition, Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is also part of EMC Smarts 9.5 release and impacts the patch numbering for the release. Details for this product are kept in a separate Patch Readme.

Installation directory In this document, the term BASEDIR represents the location where EMC Smarts software is installed.

? For UNIX, the default location is: /opt/InCharge/. ? For Windows, the default location is: C:\InCharge\.

Patch description

The represents the EMC Smarts product suite to which the product belongs.

Optionally, you can specify the root of BASEDIR to be something other than /opt/InCharge (on UNIX) or C:\InCharge (on Windows), but you cannot change the name of the that is part of the BASEDIR.

The System Administration Guide provides additional information about the directory structure of EMC Smarts software.

Installation overview A patch installs files to the BASEDIR/smarts/local directory of the product. The Installation software performs the following actions:

? Backs up all files that are being replaced or merged.

? Merges changes from your current, user-modifiable configuration files into the new versions of the files from the patch.

? Displays a list of files that were merged and files that could not be merged due to conflicts.

? Displays the location of a log file that lists the results of merging the files.

? Leaves user-modifiable files that are not updated by the patch untouched.

Note:

If the original product was installed on one computer and then was copied to another computer, the patch cannot be applied to the copied installation. You must apply the patch to the computer with the original installation, and then the results can be copied to another computer.

JRE requirement for Installation software If the patch Installation software cannot find the correct version of the JRE, it displays the message: "A suitable JVM could not be found."

If this occurs, use the is:javahome option to specify the absolute path of the JRE installed with the EMC Smarts software on one line. For example:

./setup-IP-linux-9_5_0_7-20180717-64BIT.bin -is:javahome BASEDIR/IP/_jvm

Or, if software is being installed in Wizard mode and an error message is thrown saying "Cannot find a compatible JVM. Select the java.exe file of the JVM from the /_jvm/bin directory".

Note: The term BASEDIR represents the location where EMC Smarts software is installed; for example, C:/InCharge/.

Install a new patch over an older patch Patches are cumulative; each successive patch includes all of the fixes from any previous patches. As a result, a newer patch can be installed on top of an older patch. The patch number, which increments itself for each successive patch, indicates the version. A patch with higher version number can be installed over a patch with a lower version number.

Enhancements and changes

The Installation software checks the version of the installed product and the version to be installed at the beginning of its process. It will not allow an older version to be installed on top of a newer version.

Upgrade after applying a patch During an upgrade, the Installation software automatically uninstalls any applied patches. Patch files, which are installed to BASEDIR/smarts/local, are removed if the files are not modified by the user. The files that are modified are not removed and are copied to /smarts/.local.bkp. directory for manual reconciliation.

Note: is the complete version number for the patch, for example, 9.5.0.7
