Question
What are the steps to follow in order to apply OS updates?
Answer
Basically Oracle and Apache are controlled by start/stopp via /exlibris/startup which includes also all Primo components. There is a start_stop script which is doing the job. This script will stop/start all ExLibris components on the server including Oracle and Apache. So if they are running OS update, it is better to perform this start_stop script in order to stop all Ex Libris components, and then to restart them all after the update.
In order to apply OS updates,
- You can stop everything related to Ex Libris applications using
/exlibris/startup/start_stop stop.
This will stop everything related to Ex Libris apps - Run OS Update
- After OS apply is finished, you can start everything by
/exlibris/startup/start_stop start
Note: You need to do both stop and start as root.
