In this entry we will document the process to apply updates in an Application Enablement Server, this what we will be applying:

812Plus_LSUPatch14.bin                               <- Linux Security Update Patch

aesvcs-8.1.3.4.0.2-servicepack.bin           <- AES Service Pack 8.1.3.4

Here is the procedure

• Upload files to /tmp (you can use WinSCP)

• SSH the AES and move current directory to /tmp (cd /tmp)

• Verify the current version (swversion)

[root@denusvm-labaes1 cust]# swversion

• Change permissions on the files uploaded

chmod 750 812Plus_LSUPatch14.bin
chmod 750 aesvcs-8.1.3.4.0.2-servicepack.bin

• Execute the Linux update first (accept all terms), when done AES will restart (reconnect)

[root@denusvm-labaes1 tmp]# ./812Plus_LSUPatch14.bin

• Now lets apply AES SP 8.1.3.4 (accept all terms), when done AES will restart (reconnect)

[root@denusvm-labaes1 cust]# ./aesvcs-8.1.3.4.0.2-servicepack.bin

• Verify the new version after patches installed (swversion)

[root@denusvm-labaes1 tmp]# swversion
