Log on as the superuser to the Veritas Application Director (VAD) client system where the patch will be installed. 2. Freeze all the service groups running on that system persistently: a. List all the service groups configured on that system and store the list for later use: $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -list SystemList=~ b. For each service group listed in the output, enter: $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -freeze 3. Bring down the VAD client on the system: $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hastop -client -local -force 4. Use the ps command to ensure that the VAD client daemon and all agents have exited. 5. Remove the following packages using the appropriate package remove command for the operating system: VRTSvadcd, VRTSvadc 6. Add the same packages from this patch using the appropriate package add command for the operating system: VRTSvadcd, VRTSvadc 7. Bring up the VAD client on the system: $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hastart -client 8. After the VAD client has started, unfreeze the groups that you froze in step 2: $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -unfreeze $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -value Frozen 0 <== should be 0 and not 1 9. Ensure that the output from hastatus does not show any frozen groups on this system: $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hastatus -summary INSTALLING THE PATCH ON POLICY MASTER SYSTEMS --------------------------------------------- 1.

Remove the following packages from the first system using the appropriate package remove commands for the operating system: VRTSvadpm, VRTSvadc 4. Add the same packages from this patch to the first system using the appropriate package add commands for the operating system: VRTSvadpm VRTSvadc 5. Start the database: # hastart -db -sys 6. Bring the Policy Master service group online on the first system: # hastart -pm # hastart -web 7. Perform steps 4 through 6 on all the remaining Policy Master systems.
