DESCRIPTION: Since RHEL 6.6 is released, SFHA now supports it with branches including 6.0.1/6.0.5/6.1/6.1.1. Installer need to change the notification to guide customers to find corresponding patches. RESOLUTION: Installer notifies customers to download Symantec product patches when they install SFHA on RHEL 6.6. Patch ID: 6.1.1.100 * 3439524 (Tracking ID: 3542842) SYMPTOM: The Symantec Product Installer attempts to start the vxconfigd daemon before upgrade, which leads to data corruption. DESCRIPTION: In Volume Manager (VxVM), while upgrading from 5.1SP1 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 5.1SP1RP3, the LUNs over 1 Terabyte(TB) in size encounter data corruption.
