Manually Installing Maintenance Releases

Individual maintenance releases can be installed in the CommServe hosts.

Note

It is recommended to install maintenance releases using the procedure described in Installing Updates / Hot Fixes to ensure that both the production and standby CommServe hosts have the same set of binaries.

Manually install maintenance releases on the CommServe hosts when the recommended installation process fails.

Installing Maintenance Releases on the Production CommServe Host

Before You Begin

Download the maintenance release. For more information about downloading maintenance releases, see Downloading Software Using the CommCell Console.

Procedure

Log in to the production CommServe host.
Navigate to the maintenance releases folder located in the CommServe Cache folder. For more information about CommServe Cache, see Managing the CommServe Cache.
Run Setup.exe and then follow the prompts to install the maintenance release.

Installing Maintenance Release on the Standby CommServe Host

Before You Begin

Download the maintenance release. For more information about downloading maintenance releases, see Downloading Software Using the CommCell Console.
Configure the remote cache for the standby CommServe host. For more information, see Synchronizing Software Cache on the Standby CommServe Host.

Procedure

Login to the standby CommServe host.
Open command prompt and navigate to the remote CommServe Cache folder.
Run Setup.exe from the installation package.

Follow the instructions in the installation wizard and complete the installation. The program automatically detects the standby CommServe host and performs a binary-only maintenance release installation.

Alternatively, you can install the service pack from the command line as follows:
```
Setup.exe -donotpatchdb -nostartsvc
```

Installing Maintenance Release on the SQL Clients in Production and Standby CommServe Hosts

Click OK.

An Install Updates job will be started. You can monitor the progress of the job from the Job Controller window.
