SA provides support for Oracle RAC. In order to configure SA for Oracle RAC support, you must perform a fresh installation of SA 7.80, configured for Oracle RAC, then upgrade to SA 7.88. For more information about configuring SA for Oracle RAC support, see Oracle RAC Support: Oracle Setup for the Model Repository/SA Planning and Installation Guide, Appendix A . For information about supported Oracle RAC versions, see the Server Automation Support and Compatibility Matrix for this release at: http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/manuals.
Back to the Table of Contents
SA 7.88 requires a new SA Client Launcher (1.5.0, or later). Make sure that Adobe Flash Player is installed before you install the new SA Client Launcher. Every SA user (not just the SA administrator) must install both Adobe Flash Player and the new SA Client Launcher.
To ensure that you install these items in the right sequence:
If you have customized such settings as Java heap settings, you must reapply your customizations after you install 7.88, as the settings are set to the SA default during installation or upgrade.
SA has supported HP-UX patching for several releases. In a previous 7.8x version, a new HP-UX whitepaper became available for this feature: HP-UX Patching. The document can be downloaded at: http://support.openview.hp.com/selfsolve/manuals.

This section describes the SA 7.88 installation procedure.
Warning: SA 7.88 is not supported on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 core platform. Installations of 7.88 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 cores will fail and will rollback the core to SA 7.80. See QCCR1D142208 for more information.

. This section discusses issues related to the 7.88 upgrade.
For upgrades only:
Due to Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, if you were previously accessing the SunSolve website and you migrated your Sun account to an Oracle account instead, your solpatch_import.conf file is out of date and must be updated to reflect that change.
To update your solpatch_import.conf file:
patch_url=https://getupdates.oracle.com/all_unsigned/${patch_name}.zip
patch_readme_url=https://getupdates.oracle.com/readme/${patch_name}
patchdiag_xref_src=https://getupdates.oracle.com/reports/patchdiag.xref

bundle_url=https://getupdates.oracle.com/patch_cluster/${chunk_filename}
bundle_readme_url=https://getupdates.oracle.com/patch_cluster/${chunk_basename}.README
download_user=xxxxx
download_pass=xxxxx
To determine the build ID for a core machine:
Open the file:
/var/opt/opsware/install_opsware/inv/install.inv
and find the section beginning with %basics_
. Under this line, find the build_id
.
For example:
%basics_linux
build_id: opsware_37.0.3006.*
When you install an SA patch, the patch
installation updates the install.inv
file to
record the patch installation and the patch build ID. For example:
%opsware_patch
build_id: opsware_37.0.3826.0
Before a patch operation (such as install/upgrade/uninstall), all
core/satellite services must be up and running. If any services are stopped or
dysfunctional (as reported by the
/etc/init.d/opsware-sas status
command), the patch operation
will terminate.
Upon completion of a patch operation, all services on the core/satellite machine should be up and running.
Patches are "mesh compatible" with unpatched cores (i.e. patched and unpatched cores can interoperate). As a result, patches can be installed and rolled-back on one core at a time, and mesh-wide downtime is not required when applying patches.
NOTE: Mesh-wide data changes (such as the uploading of updated Wayscripts) will only be made from the primary core, so it is recommend that this core is patched first.
If you are patching a multi-host core/satellite, you must patch each core and satellite host separately, one at a time.
If you are patching a Multi-master mesh, HP recommends that you patch the primary core first, followed by secondary cores and satellites, thus ensuring that the primary core is at a higher version (such as SA 7.88 or higher) than the secondary cores.
If you must roll back this patch in a Multi-master Mesh, HP recommends that you roll back the secondary cores and satellites first, then the primary core.
Mixed version core environments are not supported. However, during the patch upgrade, a transitory mixed core version environment is supported. For example, while the patch upgrade is in progress, cores at different patch levels can temporarily coexist in a Multimaster Mesh.
In order to patch and/or roll back Wayscripts, the spog.pkcs8
certificate must exist under/var/opt/opsware/crypto/occ
(typically the
certificate is installed with the Shell, SA Web Client, or Build Manager). If
the certificate does not exist, the patch operation will fail with the
following error:
Could not find spog.pkcs8 /var/opt/opsware/crypto/occ
Copy the certificate from another core machine (for
example, occ ) to /var/opt/opsware/crypto/occ
and retry
this operation.
In order to patch and/or roll back Software Repository (
word ) updates, the spin.srv certificate must
exist under /var/opt/opsware/crypto
(typically the certificate is installed with the Web Services Data Access
Engine ( spin )). If the certificate does not exist,
the patch operation will fail with the following error:
Could not find spin.srv under /var/opt/opsware/crypto/spin.
Copy the certificate from another core machine
(such as occ) to
/var/opt/opsware/crypto/spin
and retry this operation.
The following error may occur during upgrade on cores on which Solaris patching has not yet been set up:
You don't have permission to update the patch meta database in HP SA.
Please re-run this command with a proper hpsa_user and hpsa_pass.
T he hpsa_user needs permission to write the folder
"/Opsware/Tools/Solaris Patching" and the Package Management
Client Feature, "Manage Package" permission set "Read & Write".
There was a problem with running update_supplements.
Please refer to section Patch Management for Solaris of the Users Guide:
Application Automation manual for details on how to set up Solaris
patching on your core.
You can safely disregard this error.
Obtain the required Windows patch management files by performing the following tasks:
1. Obtain the following files from Microsoft:
mbsacli.exe
(version 2.1.1) This file is packaged with the MBSA 2.1.1 setup file, MBSASetup-x86-EN.msi, that you must download from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=B1E76BBE-71DF-41E8-8B52-C871D012BA78
After the download, on a Windows machine run
MBSASetup-x86-EN.msi
to install MBSA 2.1.1. In the directory where you installed MBSA 2.1.1, locate thembsacli.exe
file. By default, the file is installed here:
%program files%\Microsoft Baseline Security
Analyzer 2\mbsacli.ex
wusscan.dll
The wusscan.dll file is in the directory where you installed MBSA 2.1.1.
By default, the file is here:
%program files%\Microsoft Baseline
Security
Analyzer 2\wusscan.dll
2. Import the files you just downloaded into SA:
a. Log in to the SA Client
b. Navigate to Administration > Patch Settings > Windows Patch Utilities.
c. Select the Windows Patch Utility.
d. Select the Utility name in the table.
e. Select the Import Utility Update button to open the Import Patch Utility file picker.
f. Select one of the files (

Note: When you upgrade from 7.8x to 7.88, you do not need to run the
prepatch.sh
script, since it should already have been applied
during the upgrade to 7.8x.
You must complete the following pre-patch procedures before applying the SA
7.88 patch.
You must install an SA update on 7.80 cores before installing the SA 7.88
patch. If you are upgrading from SA 7.81 or 7.82, this update will have already
been installed. This update enables the SA Core to handle new supported managed
platforms introduced in CORD patch releases by ensuring mesh compatibility
between a First Core patched with SA 7.84 and unpatched Secondary Cores.
The
update should be applied to each Slice Component bundle host in all secondary
cores and only needs to be applied once during the lifetime of the SA 7.80
server. If for some reason you have not applied the update, the CORD
installation will automatically install the update before installing the CORD
release.
Note: This update cannot be rolled-back.
To install the pre-patch update, run the following script:
<distro>/opsware_installer/tools/prepatch.sh
If the patch has not been previously been applied, the following is displayed:
Patching /opt/opsware/occclient/ngui.jar

When you ran the SA 7.88 patch_database.sh
script, Garbage
Collection was modified so that during the next run, the old child records are
completely deleted from the SESSION_SERVICE_INSTANCES
table to
improve performance.
After you have upgrade to SA 7.88, you should perform the following tasks to
delete any existing old child records in your
SESSION_SERVICE_INSTANCES
table which reduces the size of the
table.
Note: The following steps are optional but HP highly recommends that you perform this step, especially for large databases. If this step is not performed then nightly Waypurge Garbage Collection job will run automatically and delete the old unwanted records.
When you ran the pre-patch script, patch_database.sh
, it updated
the Waypurge garbage collection PL/SQL and added a new
WAY_GC_SESSIONTREES_DELETE_MAX
to the lcrep.audit_params
table.
To view the new row you can use the following SQL*Plus
command:SQLPLUS> col NAME format a30

If you install additional Slice Component bundle instances after patching the SA core to version 7.8X, wayscript versions are set to version 7.8, rather than to the patch version. Use the following procedure to remedy the situation:
In the SA Web Client:
This section describes how to set up SA support for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.
Required only if you have not set up SA support for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 when you applied the SA 7.88 patch. SA 7.88 and later provide improved support for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 now appears with its own entries in the SA Client rather than as a subset of Windows Server 2008.
However, there are some tasks you must perform in order to migrate any Software Policies, Application Configurations, packages (units), Patch Policies and/or OS Provisioning objects you may already have set up for your server(s).
Migrating Software Policies, Application Configurations and/or
Patch Policies is handled by running a script, windows_2008_R2_fix_script.pyc
, provided with
SA 7.88 and later in the directory:
<distro>/opsware_installer/tools
The script is called windows_2008_R2_fix_script.pyc
and is invoked
as follows:
/opt/opsware/bin/python2
windows_2008_R2_fix_script.pyc
[--mrl=<MRL_ID>|--listmrls|--help
The windows_2008_R2_fix_script.pyc
script has the following options:
Script Options Table
Options |
Description |
---|---|
|
List all Windows Server 2008 x64 MRLs (ID, Name and Media Path) |
|

Server 2008 R2 x64 platform. |
|
Display usage and help |
If a Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 server is in an unreachable state after the migration script is run, data integrity errors may cause the server to appear in the Mismatched Server Platform list.
To resolve the mismatch error, do the following:
- Bring the server to MANAGED state.
- Run hardware registration on the server.
HP strongly recommends that your perform a backup of your Model Repository database before running this script.
You must:
windows_2008_R2_fix_script.pyc
script:
word
) host.OPSWpytwist
installed.root
. After migration completes, the Software Policy appears in the SA Client Navigation pane under Library/By Type/Software Policies/Windows/Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and Windows Server 2008 x64.
During migration, Software Policies are modified only if one of the following is true:
When processing policy items, the script looks for the following types of objects:
If the script finds a policy item that has Windows Server 2008 x64 in the platform list it will migrate that policy item to Windows Server 2008 R2x64.
The order of items in the Software Policy is retained and remediation status remains unchanged.
If the script identifies an existing Software Policy as a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 policy, it does not modify it during processing.
The script migrates only the packages that have Windows Server 2008 x64 in the platform list and are included as policy item inside a Software Policy that is migrated by the script.
After migration, the package will appear in the SA Client
under both the Windows Server 2008 x64 and Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
folders in Library/By Type/Packages/Windows.
The script does not take into account the package type. It looks for packages included in migrated Software Policies that are attached to Windows Server 2008 x64. Server Module Result objects, Windows Registry objects and Windows Services objects cannot be migrated by the script because their platform associations cannot be changed.
Properties settings (including general, archived scripts, install parameters, install scripts, uninstall parameters, uninstall scripts) are preserved.
The migration script migrates an application configuration if one of the following is true:
During migration the script adds Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 to the application configuration's platform list. The script also inspects all application configurations' associated templates (CML templates) and if a template has Windows Server 2008 x64 in the platform list it is also migrated.
There is no undo option.
During migration, the script appends R2 to the Patch Policy name. For example, for a patch policy named 2008 XYZ Policy
, the migration script creates
a new Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 policy named 2008
XYZ Policy R2
if:
Note: If a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 policy named 2008 XYZ Policy R2 already exists, the applicable patches will be added to it.
If Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 servers, or device groups containing Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 servers, are attached to Windows Server 2008 x64 patch policies, the migration script will detach these policies and attach the newly created or updated equivalent Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 policies. Applicable Patch Policy exceptions are also migrated.
If metadata associated with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 patches has been modified (for example: install/uninstall flags, pre/post install/uninstall scripts), that metadata will be migrated.
Note: In some cases, for example supplemental patches, Microsoft patches may have more than one version with the same name which causes those patches not to be migrated when running the migration script. In these cases, you must manually migrate the affected patches.
The specification of the WindowsImageName custom attribute with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 is somewhat different from other platforms.
For Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, the expected values are:
Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERDATACENTER
Windows
Server 2008 R2 SERVERDATACENTERCORE
Windows Server 2008 R2
SERVERENTERPRISE
Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERENTERPRISECORE
Windows
Server 2008 R2 SERVERSTANDARD
Windows Server 2008 R2
SERVERSTANDARDCORE
Windows Server 2008 R2 SERVERWEB
Windows Server 2008
R2 SERVERWEBCORE
A new option, --no_w2k8r2
, is provided for the populate-opsware-update-library
script and
is used to specify that Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 patch binaries should not be uploaded. For more information about the populate-opsware-update-library
script,
see the SA User's Guide: Application Automation .
If you plan to install the SA Command-line Interface (OCLI) on a Windows Server after upgrade to SA 7.88, you must update the SA Agent on that server to the latest version. Errors occur during OCLI installation on Windows servers with earlier SA Agent versions.

On Windows servers that have EMC PowerPath installed as the
multipathing software, the SCSI Bus number provided by PowerPath (using
the powermt command) does not match the bus number of the disks (LUNs). In
these cases, LUNs are displayed as ROOT and display alongside LUNs that
are correctly displayed in the Inventory > Storage > Volumes
Panel. |
Windows | None | |
QCCR1D104960 | On some Windows servers, after you install multipatching software, the
server Disk Management panel displays the software disks as foreign disks.
In addition, volumes are not displayed in the Disk Management panel, but
they are displayed in the Inventory > Storage > Volumes panel when
you run a storage snapshot specification. |
Windows |
Log on to the Windows server. Open the Disk Management panel and import the disks that are categorized as Foreign. Run the storage snapshot specification from the SA Web client for this server. For more information on importing disks on Windows servers, see the relevant Microsoft documentation at: http://www.microsoft.com. | |
QCCR1D105382 | On Windows 2008, if the disk information is changed, such as
presenting new LUNs or removing existing LUNs, running the storage
snapshot specification results in incorrect capacity values shown in the Inventory > Storage > Disk panel. This occurs if there is a mismatch
in the disk names, as reported by the hardware registration script and the
storage snapshot specification. |
Windows 2008 | To resolve this issue, after changing disk information (such as
installing or uninstalling multipathing software, presenting new LUNs, deleting LUNs, and so on) on the Windows managed server, the server must be rebooted. Run the hardware registration before running the storage snapshot specification. | |

Oracle RAC Support: Oracle Setup for the Model Repository |
The following information is in addition to that found in the SA
Planning and Installation Guide: Appendix A and the document,
Oracle Setup for the Model Repository. Concurrent with the SA 7.82 patch release, SA adds support for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). Note: Oracle RAC support requires a new installation of both Oracle and SA. Therefore, in order to enable Oracle RAC support in SA, you must first install SA 7.80 and Oracle 10.2.0.4 or 11.1.0.7 configured as described in the following sections. Supported Oracle Versions Matrix
Supported Oracle Enterprise Edition Versions: 10.2.0.4, 11.1.0.7 Supported Operating Systems: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 x86_64 and 5 x86_64 Set up the Oracle RAC Database/InstancesSA supports any valid Oracle RAC configuration, such as any number of
nodes, ASM or regular disks, and so on.
Installing the Model RepositoryIn most production environments with Oracle RAC, the Model Repository
installation can be done from any SA server. The database server or RAC
nodes in this case are considered to be remote. The examples used in the following sections assume this
configuration: Two (active-active) Node RAC environment:
Model Repository Installation on a Remote Database (truth) RAC ServerIn an Oracle RAC environment, only one of the RAC nodes is used during
the SA installation/upgrade process. The SA Installer connects to only one
Oracle RAC instance to install/modify the Model Repository. During the
regular SA operations, all RAC nodes are used.
