Installing AE Services updates and patches using CLI

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

AE Services updates and patches consist of .bin files of RPMs. You can apply multiple updates or patches to the system. To see all the updates or patches installed on the server, use the swversion -a command.

Updates and patches are available on the following Web sites:

Check these sites periodically to see if there is a new patch that applies to your system.

Caution:

Always use the procedure described in this book, not an RPM command, to install AE Services updates or patches.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console, back up the server data before you install an update. See Backing up the AE Services server data.
  2. Download any new patch or update files to the current directory on the AE Services server.
  3. To provide executable permission to the patch file, run the command chmod +x <xxxx> where xxxx is the name of the downloaded file.
  4. Open an ssh session to the AE Services server and access an account with root privileges. See Opening an ssh session to AE Services for more information.
  5. From the command line, type ./xxxx.bin where xxxx is the name of the downloaded file.

    The system displays the update or patch ID and the RPMs contained in the package. The system then prompts you to confirm the installation of the RPMs.

    • If you type y, the installation of the update or patch proceeds. The system:

      • Stops AE Services, Tomcat service, and DBService.

      • Installs the RPMs contained in the package.

      • Restarts AE Services, Tomcat service, and DBService.

      • Once the upgrade is successful, wait for 5 minutes before accessing the AE Services OAM page.

    • If you type n, the installation of the update or patch terminates.

  6. To verify the version of the AE Services application, run the command swversion.
  7. To reconfigure AIDE, run the following command:

    /opt/mvap/bin/setAIDE configure
