Steps for In-place upgrade of HCL Domino 14.0 FPx to
HCL Domino 14.0 FP2 to FP3 and the Mail Router high priority IF (Hot Fix 9 - KB0118192)
Notes:
- Installations steps work for any Domino 14.0 with or w/no fix pack to FP 3 and the HF9
- If you have an IF / HF installed it has to be uninstalled (by running it again) before a higher FP or HF is installed.
- The Hotfix 9 install is not an emergency since most of us leave our Domino servers always running except when upgrading/patching. This does not need to be applied until you need to restart Domino and its router.
BEFORE YOU START:
Check server drive disk for free drive space (10 GB min)
Write down or memorize the server program and data folders and the user name (e.g. notes) for verification when going through installation prompts
e.g.
/opt/hcl/domino
/local/notesdata
notes
In-Place HCL Domino Upgrade and Patching for HF 9 Mail Router Issue:
1. Using Filezilla, copy the install file to the server in the server's downloads folder after making a folder for both the new FP and the HF:
a. SSH to Domino server and become root:
$ ssh myadmin@myserver.mindwatering.net
<authenticate>
b. Make two new directories, dom140FP3 and dom140FP3hf9.
$ cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/
$ mkdir dom140FP3
$ mkdir dom140FP3hf9
c. Transfer the files from the local repository to the server into their respective folders:
Transferred:
Domino_1400FP3_Linux.tar --> dom140FP3
140FP3HF9-linux64.tar --> dom140FP3hf9
2. Extract both installations before we shut down the Domino service:
If you closed the command prompt / terminal:
a. SSH to the Domino server again:
$ cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom140FP3
$ tar -xvf Domino_1400FP3_Linux.tar
<watch files extracted>
$ cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom140FP3hf9
$ tar -xvf 140FP3HF9-linux64.tar
<watch files extract>
3. Patch to the latest FixPack, FP3:
$ sudo systemctl stop domino.service
<wait>
$ sudo su
# cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom140FP3/linux64/domino
# ./install
<go through the prompts>
<wait>
Notes:
- The steps/questions are the same for 14 FixPacks as with 12 FIxPacks. Use <tab> instead of <enter> to accept a setting. There is no 0 to skip to the end.
- There should not be any prompts for a fix pack so you can manually start Domino or just start the service.
4. Patch to the latest Hot Fix 9 which fixes the router restart / Domino reboot issue :
# cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom140FP3hf9/linux64/
# ./install
<go through the prompts>
# exit
(to exit (sudo) root user session)
5. Start the Domino service:
$ sudo systemctl status domino.service
<wait>
Verify the services are running okay:
$ sudo systemctl status domino.service
<confirm running status>

Other Notes:
If you are running Windows, the windows server will commonly lock process and cause issues since Windows Server 2003. The error is: "Notes/Domino related process is still running"
