IBM is pleased to announce the release of supplementary content for Recommended Patch Cluster Fixlets. The Recommended Patch Cluster patch contains hundreds of updates and requires a significant amount of disk space to download and install.
Highlights:
- Disk space check
- The ‘Solaris 10: Insufficient Disk Space - /var’ task (ID 3) that checks whether the file system containing /var has sufficient space to extract and install Recommended Patch Cluster patches.
- Client pre-cache configuration setting
- For pre-caching scenarios, you can use the ‘Set Client Pre-cache Configuration Setting’ task (ID 8) to assign a new value for the pre-cache configuration setting (BE SCli ent Down load _Pre Cach eSta geDi skLi mitM B) to enable the Recommended Patch Cluster installation.
- Additional log
- To debug the commands used to install patch cluster, check the log located in var/ opt/ BESC lien t/__ BESD ata/ __Gl obal /Log s/.i nsta llcl uste r.lo g. The log follows the IBM Endpoint Manager log format, which starts with a timestamp for each run.
- Note: If the Fixlet is deployed to an endpoint multiple times on the same day, each run is appended to the log file. The log file does not get overwritten.
