N/A                                                             

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Extended Deployment
who are using the maintenance mode function

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Stopping maintenance mode on one node
causes all nodes to be synchronized.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When maintenance mode is stopped on a specific node, all nodes
are synchronized. However, nodes in large environments might
not need to all be synchronized.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Stopping maintenance mode has been changed to not synchronize   
all nodes in the cell.

The Update Installer for V5.0 does not have a maintenance directory. It uses fixpacks and fixes as the location of the unpacked files.

Customers must be at V6.1.0.17 or newer of the Update Installer.  This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

1) Copy 6.1.1.0-WS-WXDOP-IFPM01530.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (6.1.1.0-WS-WXDOP-IFPM01530.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.

7) Install the maintenance package.
