EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Update Bundle 8 (4826) Read Me
Installation
Special instructions
! IMPORTANT
Please read the following special instructions before proceeding with the UB8
installation.
! IMPORTANT
After upgrading the infrastructure and the Master Agent on the infrastructure
servers to ControlCenter 6.1 and before upgrading the agents, you must install
the latest ControlCenter Update Bundle from Powerlink. After completing the
upgrade or fresh installation of ControlCenter, the latest Update Bundle and
OCPU patch must be installed.
Ensure that you are at 6.1 UB2 (CC_4459) or later before installing UB8, unless
you have installed from CD A02 or A04, the equivalent to UB4.
! CAUTION
Do not update your Common Mapping Agent to Update Bundle 5, 7, or 8 if you
are dependent on database support provided only with Solutions Enabler 6.5.x.
Note: Any host that uses the EMC Invista® Storage must have the Host Agent running at
UB3 or later version.
Note: It is recommended to run this tool before upgrading to ControlCenter 6.1 UB8.
Preinstallation requirements
Before proceeding with the steps outlined in this document, the following
prerequisites must be met.
! IMPORTANT
Ensure that you are at 6.1 UB2(CC_4459) or later before installing UB8, unless
you have installed from CD A02 or A04, the equivalent to UB4.
Backup StorageScope
This prerequisite is only needed if UB8 is being applied to an existing
ControlCenter environment.
Note: If file level reporting (FLR) is licensed, then disable all FLR data collection policies
(DCPs) prior to the next scheduled Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) run time. If this is
not done, then the ETL process should be run before UB8 is installed.
Note: In an FLR licensed environment, the ETL run time could take up to 4 hours to
complete.
Backup ControlCenter
It is mandatory to perform a complete backup of ControlCenter prior to starting
the UB8 installation except for fresh installation.
1. Download and install patch 4563 (CC_4563.zip) on all infrastructure servers.
Readme for HF 4563 provides more information.
2. Set the ControlCenter and Oracle services to Manual.
3. Run backup.bat in the %ECC_INSTALL_ROOT%\HF4563 directory on all
infrastructure servers except for servers which have the Performance Manager
GUI Client installed alone with no other ControlCenter components.
4. Reboot the server.
5. Copy the %ECC_INSTALL_ROOT%\ directory to another storage location.
6. Change the ControlCenter and Oracle services back to Automatic and proceed
with applying the patch.
5
EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Update Bundle 8 (4826) Read Me
Installation
Note: If ControlCenter is installed in a Microsoft Cluster, leave all the ControlCenter and
Oracle services set to Manual.
Note: Depending on your infrastructure's configuration, these services might not all be
running on the same system.
! IMPORTANT
A connection to the ControlCenter Repository is required to install the patch, so
do not stop the following services: OracleECCREP_HOMETNSListener,
OracleServiceRAMBDB (ControlCenter Repository), and
OracleServiceEMCSTSDB (StorageScope Repository).
Upgrading to ControlCenter 6.1 should be done with the ControlCenter 6.1 Rev
A02 or A04 media only. Do not use the ControlCenter 6.1 Rev A01 media.
To complete the upgrade:
1. Reboot the ControlCenter Server and Repository first, then reboot the
infrastructure server(s).
2. Install the Console on the Remote Access Server and not the infrastructure
host. Uninstall the console and delete the user directories.
3. Upgrade the agents on the WLA Archiver host.
4. Upgrade the StorageScope service.
5. Connect to StorageScope and run ETL successfully.
6. Upgrade Master agent. If PM is already installed on a host with master agent
deployed, PM will be upgraded automatically. Upgrade and run Performance
Manager GUI Client.
7. Connect to the Web Console if this is part of your design.

EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Update Bundle 8 (4826) Read Me
Installation
Note: Anytime a Master Agent is installed on a new host it must be patched immediately to
6.1.0.8.470 or later. This does not apply to ControlCenter 6.1 A02 or A04 or later.
Note: The EMC Ionix ControlCenter Planning and Install Guide, Volume 1 provides details to
discover pre-61 agents into a fresh install of ControlCenter 6.1.
In a Microsoft Cluster
When applying any ControlCenter upgrade, Update Bundle or OCPU Patch, the
ControlCenter and Oracle resources found in the Cluster Administrator must be
removed from the cluster as follows:
1. Open the Cluster Administrator.
2. Select the Oracle Repository Resources and take it off-line.
Note: All of the Oracle and ControlCenter resources should be stopped with this action.
Note: All of the Oracle and ControlCenter resources should be selected for deletion.
Note: Verify that the services are running. For distributed Infra check on each host where
the following DBs are installed (RAMBDB and EMCSTSDB):
OracleECCREP_HOMETNSListener
OracleServiceRAMBDB (ControlCenter Repository)
OracleServiceEMCSTSDB (StorageScope Repository)
UB8 installation
Note: The ControlCenter Infrastructure and the Repository must be completely upgraded
and rebooted before continuing to the other infrastructure components.
The bundle should be installed on the infrastructure hosts in the following order:
◆ ControlCenter Repository
◆ ControlCenter Server
◆ StorageScope Repository
◆ StorageScope Server

EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Update Bundle 8 (4826) Read Me
Installation
Note: If the StorageScope Server and the StorageScope Repository reside on different hosts,
you may need to reapply this patch to the StorageScope Server host after you update the
StorageScope Repository.
Note: The InstallShield may display a dialog box indicating that the StorageScope Server
will not be updated at this time if the StorageScope Server and the StorageScope Repository
reside on different hosts, and the StorageScope Server is on the same host as the
ControlCenter Repository and/or the ControlCenter Server.
4. Click Next on the welcome screen to go to the "Ready to Install" step of the
wizard.

5. You will receive confirmation that the patch has been successfully applied to
the system with a Finish button.
6. Restart the ControlCenter services.
7. After the ControlCenter server and Repository are rebooted, update the next
infrastructure component in the order shown above.
8. Reboot each infrastructure host and confirm that the ControlCenter services
started.
9. For each ControlCenter 6.1 Console:
Note: If the server is a licensed Terminal Services or Citrix remote access server, then follow
the steps to installing/upgrading the Console in the EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Planning
and Installation Guide, Volume 1 and the EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1 Upgrade Guide. This step
is only relevant for a Console running on a single user workstation.
! IMPORTANT
Important: The Master Agent must be patched first before the sub-agents can be
patched.
Note: If the "Apply Patch" task fails when attempting to start agent(s), issue "Restart Master
Agent" from the Console. Refer to the section, “Failed agent recovery instructions” for more
information.

Recovery scenario #1
1. In the Console agent view, verify that agents are active and at the correct
version.
2. If agents are running at the correct version, agent installation is complete and
task failure was due to a timeout and can be disregarded.
Recovery scenario #2
1. In the Console agent view, verify that agents are active and at the correct
version.
2. If agents are not running or are not at the correct version, agent patch
installation was unsuccessful.
3. Stop Master Agent via task manager or remote tool (all mstragent.exe
processes should be stopped).
4. Stop all subagents via task manager or remote tool. Refer to Table 1 on page 13
for agent process names.
5. Restart Master Agent from Windows control panel services dialog.
6. Perform agent patch task.
Recovery scenario #3
1. If Master Agent is currently inactive, patch cannot be applied due to
communication problem or application errors are seen against the
mstragent.exe process
2. Stop Master Agent through Task Manager or remote tool (all mstragent.exe
processes should be stopped).
3. Stop all subagents through Task Manager or remote tool. Refer to Table 1 on
page 13 for agent process names.
4. Restart Master Agent from Windows Control Panel services dialog.
Prerequisites
