SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
Patch ID: 7.3.1.200
* 3944164 (3944161) Installer could not upgrade VRTSvxfs and VRTSodm inside
non-global zones
* 3945461 (3945456) When performing an upgrade from InfoScale 7.3 to 7.3.1.xxx, CPI installs the packages from 
the 7.3.1.xxx patch only and does not install the base packages of 7.3.1 GA.


DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following incidents:

Patch ID: 7.3.1.200

* 3944164 (Tracking ID: 3944161)

SYMPTOM:
If older versions of the VRTSvxfs and VRTSodm packages are installed in
non-global zones, they are not 
upgraded when upgrade to a newer version of the product.

DESCRIPTION:
If older versions of the VRTSvxfs and VRTSodm packages are installed in
non-global zones, you must 
uninstall them before you perform a product upgrade. After you upgrade those
packages in global zones, you 
must then install the VRTSvxfs and VRTSodm packages manaully in the non-global
zones.

RESOLUTION:
The CPI will handle the VRTSodm and VRTSvxfs package in non-global zone in the
same manner it does in global zone.

* 3945461 (Tracking ID: 3945456)

SYMPTOM:
CPI assumes that the third digit in an InfoScale 7.3.1 version indicates a patch release, and 
not a GA release. It then upgrades the packages from the patch only and does not upgrade 
the base packages.

DESCRIPTION:
To compare release versions and set the type of installation, CPI compares the currently 
installed release version with the target release version to be installed. However, instead of 
considering all the digits in a release version, it incorrectly compares only the first two 
digits. In this case, CPI compares 7.3 with 7.3.1, and finds that the first 2 digits match 
exactly. Thus, it assumes that the base release is already installed and so it only installs the 
patch packages.

RESOLUTION:
This hotfix updates the CPI to recognize InfoScale 7.3.1 as a higher release and 7.3.1.100 
(for example) as a patch release. CPI can now properly upgrade the base packages first 
and then proceed to upgrade the packages that are in the patch.
