Patching Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7

To upgrade to version 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0), you must upgrade Directory Service Control Center, and Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server instances.

To Patch a ZIP Installation of Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7

Perform this migration procedure on each Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation. However, identify the server that hosts Directory Service Control Center, and upgrade it first, before upgrading any other servers.

Note - This procedure must be performed by the user account that owns the Directory Server Enterprise Edition installation.

Run the following command.
```
# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dsccsetup prepare-patch
```
The dsccsetup prepare-patch command attempts to stop all running instances of Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server. If the dsccsetup prepare-patch command does not have permission to stop a server instance, it displays a message that describes its failure, and you must stop the server before continuing.
Run one of the following commands to make sure that the server is stopped.
To stop a directory server, run this command:
```
# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dsadm stop INSTANCE_PATH
```
To stop a proxy server, run this command:
```
# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dpadm stop INSTANCE_PATH
```
Create a temporary directory TEMP_DIRECTORY, and store a copy of the installation file in it.
Type the following commands to install the Directory Server Enterprise Edition software.
```
# cd TEMP_DIRECTORY
# unzip -q ODSEE11_1_1_5_0_xxx.zip
# cd ODSEE_ZIP_Distribution
# unzip -q sun-dsee7.zip -d INSTALL_PATH
# cd INSTALL_PATH/dsee7
```
This step effectively overwrites the existing installation, so the INSTALL_PATH refers to the installation path used in Step 1. All existing files should be overwritten.

Run the following command.

# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dsccsetup complete-patch

Upgrade all Directory Server instances that were not upgraded in Step 5.
```
# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dsadm upgrade [-i] INSTANCE_PATH
```
Upgrade all Directory Proxy Server instances that were not upgraded in Step 5.
```
# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dpadm upgrade [-i] INSTANCE_PATH
```
If you are patching the server that hosts Directory Service Control Center only, redeploy the Directory Service Control Center (DSCC) WAR file, INSTALL_PATH/dsee7/var/dscc7.war, as described in Pre-Configuring the Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide and Appendix A, Deploying the DSCC WAR File, in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide.
Note - You must patch the Directory Service Control Center before patching any Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server server instances.

To Patch a Native Installation of Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7

Run the following command.
```
# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dsccsetup prepare-patch
```
The dsccsetup prepare-patch command attempts to stop all running instances of Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server. If the dsccsetup prepare-patch command does not have permission to stop a server instance, it displays a message that describes its failure, and you must stop the server before continuing.
Create a temporary directory TEMP_DIRECTORY, and store a copy of the installation file in it.
If the server is installed on Solaris 9, run the following command to begin removing the current installation.
```
# pkgrm SUNWdsee7-config
```
Run the following command to remove the current installation.
```
# pkgrm SUNWdsee7 SUNWdsee7-var SUNWdsee7-man
```
Before you can access the various installation packages, you must unzip the ODSEE11_1_1_5_0_Solaris*.zip file for each distribution.
```
# cd TEMP_DIRECTORY
# unzip -q ODSEE11_1_1_5_0_platform-pkg.zip
```

Type the following commands to install the Directory Server Enterprise Edition software.

# cd TEMP_DIRECTORY/ODSEE_PKG_Distribution 
# pkgadd -d . SUNWdsee7
# pkgadd -d . SUNWdsee7-var
# pkgadd -d . SUNWdsee7-man

If you are running the Solaris 9 operating system, you must install the SUNWdsee7-config package.
- On a Solaris SPARC system, type:
```
# pkgadd -d SunOS5.9 SUNWdsee7-config
```
- On a Solaris x86 system, type:
```
# pkgadd -d . SUNWdsee7-config
```
Run the following command to apply current patches to the new installation.
```
# patchadd PATCH_NUMBERS
```
For the complete list of patches required for your platform, see List of Packages Required Before Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide.
Verify that the JVM version used by the Common Agent Container is 1.6.0 or later.
1. Get the JVM version used by Common Agent Container.
```
# /usr/sbin/cacaoadm get-param -v java-home
```
2. Get the version of this JVM.
```
<JAVA_HOME>/bin/java -version
```
3. If the JVM version is not 1.6.0 or later, set java-home to 1.6.0 or a later version.
  JVM 1.6.0 or a later version must be installed on the machine before setting the java-home.
```
/usr/sbin/cacaoadm set-param java-home=<JAVA_1.6.0>
```

Run the following command.

# INSTALL_PATH/bin/dsccsetup complete-patch

If you are patching the server that hosts Directory Service Control Center only, redeploy the DSCC WAR file, INSTALL_PATH/dsee7/var/dscc7.war, as described in Pre-Configuring the Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide and Appendix A, Deploying the DSCC WAR File, in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide.
Note - You must patch the Directory Service Control Center before patching any Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server instances.
