Linux/Solaris: Do the following:
Check the Metadirectory server trace to verify that your Identity Manager version is updated. The trace window shows the following output:
<product version="4.0.1.x">DirXML</product>
where x is the version of the Identity Manager patch.
On Linux, run the rpm -qa | grep nov | grep 4.0.1 command to verify Identity Manager RPMs installed on your system. On Solaris, running this command shows Identity Manager packages installed on your system.
NOTE:In a non-root patch installation/upgrade, the RPM versions are not upgraded.

where x is the version of the Identity Manager patch.
In order to run a silent installation of the Identity Manager 4.0.1 patch, you must modify the patchUpgradeSilent.Properties sample file from the cd-image directory. Start the silent installation by using the correct command for your platform:
Linux/Solaris: ./install.sh -i silent -f patchUpgradeSilent.Properties
Windows: install.bat -i silent -f patchUpgradeSilent.Properties
The sample patchUpgradeSilent.Properties property file has the following attributes:
#Silent Properties File IDMPatchInstaller #eDirectory and RemoteLoader services should be stopped before installation #Set this property to true/false for Engine Upgrade for root and non root install install_Engine=true #Set this property to true/false for Remote Loader32 Upgrade install_RL32=true #Set this property to true/false for Remote Loader64 Upgrade install_RL64=true #Set this property for Engine Upgrade for NON ROOT user #eg: If the engine location is /home/eDirectoryNonRoot/eDirectory/opt/novell/eDirectory select till eDirectory(parent directory of /opt) engine_Location=/home/eDirectoryNonRoot/eDirectory/ #Set this property for Remote Loader 32-Bit Install location #Only for Windows RL32_Location=C:\\Novell\\IdentityManager\\RemoteLoader\\32bit #Set this property for Remote Loader 64-Bit Install location #Only for Windows RL64_Location=C:\\Novell\\IdentityManager\\RemoteLoader\\64bit
On Windows, there is no option to specify the Metadirectory server installation path in the silent property file. The patch installer uses the same installation path that has been specified when Identity Manager 4.0.1 was installed.
The log files are available at the following locations:
