Apply Analytics Platform System hotfixes

This article explains how to apply hotfixes to the Analytics Platform System software.

Warning

Don't attempt to apply an Analytics Platform System hotfix if your appliance or any appliance component is down or in a failed state. In that case, contact support for assistance.

Warning

Don't apply an Analytics Platform System hotfix while the appliance is in use. Applying a hotfix can cause appliance nodes to restart. Apply the hotfix during a maintenance window when the appliance isn't being used.

Prerequisites

To perform these steps, you need:

  • An Analytics Platform System login with permissions to access the Admin Console to monitor the appliance state.

  • Knowledge of the Microsoft Fabric Domain Administrator account to connect to the <domain_name>-HST01 node.

Apply an analytics Platform System hotfix

Unlike Microsoft updates, WSUS doesn't handle hotfixes for the Analytics Platform System software. These hotfixes use a different workflow. To install them, run a hotfix package.

  1. Verify appliance state indicators.

    1. Open the Admin Console and go to the Appliance State page. For more information, see Monitor the Appliance by Using the Admin Console (Analytics Platform System).

    2. Resolve all red or yellow indicators before you proceed to the next step. A couple exceptions to this rule are:

      • If there are disk failures, use the Admin Console Alerts page to verify there's no more than one disk failure within each server or SAN array. If there's no more than one disk failure within each server or SAN array, you can proceed to the next step before fixing the disk failures. Be sure to contact Microsoft support to fix the disk failures as soon as possible.

      • If there's a noncritical (yellow) disk volume error that isn't on the C:\ drive, you can proceed to the next step before resolving the disk volume error.

  2. Install the Analytics Platform System hotfix

    1. Sign in to the <appliance_domain>-HST01 node as the domain administrator.

    2. Use the Run as administrator option to open a Command Prompt.

    3. Run the following command. Replace <HotfixPackageName> with the name of the hotfix executable package. Replace the other placeholder items < > with the appropriate information.

      <HotfixPackageName> /DomainAdminPassword="<password>"

    4. Follow the steps as presented by the hotfix package.
