the packaging script i am using to upgrade package is as follows
 
./axp-sdk.1.6.1/tools/pkg_build.sh --project-dir '/home/axpdev/axp/source/jdk1.6/75msf' --auth-bundle '/home/axpdev/axp/source/certs/auth_bundle.sig' --private-key '/home/axpdev/axp/source/certs/private.key'  --deps  '8cec8ee5-54c3-4667-b62e-d4a31805d44a,all' --name 'msf' --version '1.6' --description 'contains Mysql.5.0, Jdk1.6, Heartbeat 3.0.3 and Pacemaker 1.0.9  and tomcat-6.0.18 instances and openssh4.3' --uuid 'eb5804df-ae82-4922-b5e2-8adedf3506e3' --source-dir '/home/axpdev/axp/source/jdk1.6/build' --disk-limit '315975M' --memory-limit '1024M' --cpu-limit '36000' --postinstall  'bin/postinstall.sh'

Hi Anusha


Thank you very much for providing the solution

FYI
we had requested the customers to increase the space of SDRAM on the Service-Module and the SDRAM size was increased ,which had solved our issue , and now we are able to upgrade the AXP package installed on the serivce-module.
