VISULOX Hotfix

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.
