Resolution

Steps to Verify and Update RabbitMQ Version on vIDM Nodes

1. Check the current RabbitMQ symbolic link version:

   • Navigate to the directory /usr/sbin:

     cd /usr/sbin

   • List the RabbitMQ-related symbolic links and check the version they point to:

     ls -lrt | grep rabbitmq


     

2. Identify the latest RabbitMQ version installed:

   • Navigate to the RabbitMQ library directory:

     cd /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/

   • List the contents to identify the latest RabbitMQ version directory:

     ls



3. Update the RabbitMQ symbolic links to point to the latest version:

   • Remove existing RabbitMQ symbolic links:

     rm -f /usr/sbin/rabbitmq*
rm -f /usr/sbin/vmware-rabbitmq

   • Create new symbolic links pointing to the latest RabbitMQ version's binaries:

     ln -s /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/`ls /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/`/sbin/* /usr/sbin/

4. Verify the symbolic links:

   • Confirm that the symbolic links in /usr/sbin are now pointing to the latest RabbitMQ version by repeating step 1.
