IMPORTANT: Various files in the ".../Tomcat/work/standalone/localhost/nps/" folder will be changed due to the application of the maintenance update, including many of the compiled JSPs. If you want to restore your system back to the pre-maintenance update state, do one of the following:
1) Backup the ".../Tomcat/work/standalone/localhost/nps/" folder before installing the maintenance update and restore it when removing the maintenance update.
2) Delete or rename this folder when removing the maintenance update, which will force the .JSPs to be compiled as needed.
IMPORTANT: iManager maintenance updates do not make a backup of files replaced. The only way to roll back to a previous state is to backup all modified files before applying the update and then manually restoring the backed up files.
Also, iManager maintenance updates must be installed on all iManager servers in your environment. Maintenance updates do not get automatically replicated to other iManager servers in your tree. To see if the maintenance update has been installed on the server, view the iManager information page by clicking on the words "Novell iManager" in the upper-left corner of the iManager application window.
NOTE: After you install the iManager maintenance
update, iManager will be non-functional until you restart Tomcat.
Do not install this maintenance update if you are unable to restart
Tomcat at the same time.
To download and install an iManager
maintenance update:
EXTRACT THE FILE
For Windows and
Netware servers use a windows decompression utility that supports
tgz, (i.e. WinZip) to extract iman26mu1.tgz to a temporary directory
either on the workstation or on the server.
For Unix servers,
use gzip and tar to decompress and extract the tarball to a temporary
directory on which the patch will be applied.
(i.e. gzip -d -c
iman26mu1.tgz | tar xvf - ). Linux users can use tar -zxvf
iman26mu1.tgz.
NOTE: Maintenance
update files, like plug-ins, are packaged in modules (NPMs). Those
modules are capable of containing one or more maintenance
updates.
This Maintenance Update patch is a comprehensive patch and includes
all fixes from previous Maintenance Update patches.
Log in to iManager.
Click the Configure button.
Click Plug-in Installation > Available Novell Plug-in Modules
Click Add and browse to the iMan26.npm file, then click OK.
Verify that the Module is iMan26.npm and the Description reads "Maintenance Update 1 for iManager 2.6"
Select the checkbox next to the maintenance update file iMan26.npm and click Install.
This install may take a few minutes.
NOTE: Internet
Explorer may append a .ZIP extension to the .NPM when it is downloaded.
IE may actually remove the .npm extension and
replaces it with .zip. The extension must be .npm or the install
will refuse to upload the
file.
Click Close and Restart Tomcat.
NOTE: Tomcat sometimes requires several minutes to fully initialize. Wait a few minutes before trying to log into iManager after restarting Tomcat.
PLATFORM |
RESTART COMMAND |
NetWare® 6.5 |
Enter TC4STOP. Wait at least 1 minute, then enter TOMCAT4 to start the service again. |
Windows* |
Stop and start the Tomcat service. |
Solaris* |
As root enter /var/opt/novell/tomcat4/bin/shutdown.sh, then enter /var/opt/novell/tomcat4/bin/startup.sh. |
HP-UX* |
As root enter /opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh, then enter /opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/startup.sh. |
Linux |
Enter /etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 stop, then enter /etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 start. |
Mobile iManager |
Close Mobile iManager and re-open Mobile iManager |
Verify that the new maintenance update has been installed.
This can be done by checking the log file located in the webapps/nps/WEB-INF/changelog directory or by viewing the list located on the iManager information screen (click "Novell iManager" in the upper-left corner of the application window).
Although
the maintenance update file will be listed as one of the available
plug-ins to install during the intial iManager 2.6 installation, there
is a possibility that the newer files copied from the maintenance
update will be overwritten with the original iManager 2.6 files by the
time the install completes. It is NOT recommended to select the
maintenance update during the initial installation. Install the
maintenance update as a POST plug-in install only.
If you install the Maintenance Update on
iManager 2.6 running on HP-UX, you will get a message that states the
installation completed, but the iMan26.npm stays in the
list of Available Plug-in Modules. If you look in catalina.out it
will report:

To get around this issue, do the following:
1. Shutdown Tomcat
su root
/opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
2. Delete the portal directory located in
/opt/hpws/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/nps/portal/
su root
rm -r /opt/hpws/tomcat/work/Standalone/localhost/nps/portal
3. Start Tomcat as the www user
su www /opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
4. Login to iManager 2.6 and follow the normal steps to install the
iMan26_<version>.npm patch.
5. After the patch is installed. Shutdown Tomcat.
su root
/opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
6. Unzip the iMan26_<version>.npm file to a temporary directory
of choice.
unzip iMan26_<version>.npm
7. Copy the <temporary_directory>/currentwebapp/WEB-INF/bin/hpux
directory to /opt/hpws/tomcat/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/bin/
cp -Rp <temporary_directory>/currentwebapp/WEB-INF/bin/hpux
/opt/hpws/tomcat/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/bin/
8. Change the ownership and permissions of the copied files.
chown www:other /opt/hpws/tomcat/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/bin/hpux/*
chmod +x /opt/hpws/tomcat/webapps/nps/WEB-INF/bin/hpux/*
