Description

The Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) Java Console, is a graphical user interface that is used for managing Veritas Cluster Servers (VCS) and uses Amazon Corretto JDK (x86) components.

To ensure it is not susceptible to any vulnerabilities, there may be a need to update these components to their latest version.

This article contains the steps to upgrade the Amazon Corretto JDK (x86) components used by the Java Console with its latest version.

NOTE: This article is only applicable when the currently installed VCS Java Console is using Amazon Corretto JDK (x86). For steps to configure the VCS Java Console to use Amazon Corretto JDK (x86), refer to How to download and install Veritas Cluster Java Console for Infoscale.

Solution

Perform the following steps to upgrade the Amazon Corretto JDK (x86) components:

1)      Close the VCS Java console if it is running.

2)      Verify from the Task Manager -> Details tab and ensure there are no process(s) as ClusterManager.exe. If found, then kill it using End process tree option.

NOTE: Performing the above steps does not impact the cluster or the clustered application.

3)      Take a backup of jre folder that is located at C:\Program Files(x86)\VERITAS\Cluster Manager\jre path.

4)      From the Amazon Corretto download center, download the latest x86 Corretto JDK for Windows as a zip archive.

5)      Extract the downloaded zip file and copy the contents of x86 Corretto JDK to the C:\Program Files(x86)\VERITAS\Cluster Manager\jre folder to replace the earlier components.

IMPORTANT: Once the zip file is extracted, do not copy the root jdkx.xx.x.x folder, but the contents inside the jdkx.xx.x.x folder to C:\Program Files(x86)\VERITAS\Cluster Manager\jre

This installs the latest updates and replaces older components.

NOTE: No reboot is required.

6) Browse to the path C:\Program Files(x86)\VERITAS\Cluster Manager\jre\bin from an elevated command and run the below command to verify the latest Amazon Corretto version is successfully installed.

           java -version

7) Launch the VCS Java Console and confirm it is accessible.
