That's what we do. You did leave a couple of things out, but I assume you are doing these. I'm mentioning them just in case that's not true...
For #2 - when you say "remove it from the server group", I assume you're un-checking the "server group member" box AND changing the server name back to the actual machine name. And the only other thing is setting the environment variables on the non-admin servers: BMC_AR_LOADAPP_SKIP=TRUE BMC_LOADAPP_SKIP=TRUE From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Hynes, Douglas Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 11:10 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: ARS 8.1.01 Server Group Install ** All, In previous ARS patch install instructions it was recommended that you: 1. Shut down the non-admin servers 2. Remove the admin server from the server group o If it's on a load balancer, remove it from the LB as well 3. Disable escalations 4. Patch the admin server 5. Re-enable escalations, put the admin server back into the server group, restart it, and re-load balance it. 6. Complete the rest of the patches on the non-admin servers I don't see anything that specifically states I need to do this with the 8.1.01 SP. I'm going to follow this standard procedure unless anyone has any insight that says otherwise. Any thoughts or comments? (besides making sure I have the SP1 download that was on the EPD post-Feb) Cheers, -Doug Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
