Updating (Patching) BCC 1.2.0 on

OES 2 SP1 Linux

Beginning in January 2010, patches are available for Novell

1.2.0 in the Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 SP1 Linux patch channel.

BCC administrators can use a rolling update approach to download and install the BCC 1.2.0 patch

for each node in every peer cluster in the business continuity cluster. The BCC patch can be installed

on a fully patched OES 2 SP1 Linux cluster, or it can be installed when the OES 2 SP1 Linux

patches are applied in the cluster. Each of these update approaches are discussed in this section.
