Visulox Hotfix (Core)

It can be reasonable to install an available hotfix for Visulox instead of using the Visulox update mechanism.

/opt/visulox/setup/hotfix.sh checks the status of all files on all Visulox Nodes, applies the hotfix files and creates a backup of the original files.

Requirement for Visulox Hotfix

Hotfix has to be applied on each node.

Depending on the hotfix, the following scenarios are possible:

  • Total restart is needed

  • Service kill is needed

  • No restart is needed

See attached Release Notes for the hotfix.

(See also: Manual restart of a missing VISULOX service)

Usage:

sh  /opt/visulox/setup/hotfix.sh <hotfix-file>


The backup files are copied to /opt/visulox/setup/hotfix/hotfix-backup-<date of installation>.tgz and can be re-established with Visulox Hotfix.

The backup history can be found in /opt/visulox/setup/hotfix/history.

After a Visulox update to a new version, /opt/visulox/setup/hotfix will be deleted.
