Steps for In-place Upgrade of HCL Domino 12.0.2 FP1 to Domino 12.0.2 FP2
2024/12/14 Router Failure Warning
- All versions of Domino, at least through version 8.5.x, have a long-term bug where, unless you are running routing defaults, the router will stop working midnight 2014/12/13. Immediately upgrade to Domino 12.0.2 FP5 HF9 (HF9 is also IF1.)
Notes:
- Linux server OS is CentOS 8.x, existing HCL Domino is 64-bit, or course.
- The existing start-up script is the Nashed one. It's a few years old, but still worked, so we didn't replace it with the newest one.
- A FixPack can be installed on top of another FP. If an InterimFix is installed, it MUST be uninstalled by running the same ./installer again before applying the new FP2.
- The NUI_NOTESDIR command needs to be updated to your install's program folder location (current is /opt/hcl/domino, our older server are /opt/ibm/domino). Update step 3b to your specific path.
In-Place Domino Upgrade to HCL Domino 12.0.2 FP2 from FP1:
1. Using Filezilla, copy the updated FP2 install file to the server in the server's downloads folder.
- The Domino 12.0.1 FP2 installation tar to a dom1202fp2 folder in the current users home folder
- In our case, we are using /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom1202fp2/
Domino_1202FP2_linux.tar
2. Start SSH Terminal to server. View and extract files.
$ ssh myadmin@mydomserver.mindwatering.com
<enter password>
$ cd /home/myadmin/Downloadsdom1202fp2/
# pwd
/home/myadmin/Downloads/dom1202fp2
# tar -xvf Domino_1202FP2_linux.tar
3.Perform installation.
3a. Stop the HCL Domino services
# systemctl stop domino.service
<waited>
# systemctl status domino.service
... Domino for xLinux (notes) shutdown completed
<ctl + c>
3b. Install HCL Domino 12.0.2 FP2:
# cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom1201fp2/linux64/
# pwd
/home/myadmin/Downloads/dom1202fp2/linux64
# NUI_NOTESDIR=/opt/ibm/domino
# export NUI_NOTESDIR
# ./install
<go through the prompts. Use Tab to accept screens for a FixPack.>
Start the Domino server manually, or start with service and watch the local console if a GUI is installed.
To start manually, modify the lines below for your environment; start the server manually to upgrade the directory.
# cd /local/notedata/
# su notes -
$ /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server
<No directory update unless, answered N before. If applicable, answer Yes, with Y>
Y
After letting it run for 5 mins or so, to confirm all is working, shutdown the Domino service.
> q
$ exit
4. Restart the Domino service as normal:
# systemctl start domino.service
<waited>
# systemctl status domino.service
