DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH --------------------------------------- This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents: Patch ID: 6.2.1.400 * 3789486 (Tracking ID: 3789485) SYMPTOM: On Solaris 11, in some scenarios, after upgrading SF Oracle RAC, VCS, SFHA, or SFCFSHA to version 6.2.1, the following error may occur: "llt failed to start on ". DESCRIPTION: Due to the LLT driver unload issue, the LLT module version persists with 6.2.0, even after the product is upgraded to version 6.2.1. RESOLUTION: The code is modified to unload the module prior to package upgrade for LLT, GAB and vxfen on Solaris 11. * 3794821 (Tracking ID: 3801924) SYMPTOM: On Solaris 11, on MPXIO-enabled boot-devices such as T3, T4, T5, when you upgrade SF, SFHA, SFCFSHA or SF Oracle RAC from 6.2 to 6.2.1, the following error message will be displayed: "Failed to turn on dmp_native_support tunable on xxx. Refer to Dynamic Multi- Pathing". DESCRIPTION: When DMP and MPxIP coexist, the command 'vxdmpadm settune dmp_native_support=off' will fail. RESOLUTION: The code is modified to not turn off the tunable dmp_native_support before the patch upgrade, and not turn on dmp_native_support after the upgrade. During the upgrade, the product doesnt stop VxVM or VxFS processes. After the upgrade, you need to reboot to reload the VxVM or the VxFS module. * 3833269 (Tracking ID: 3832218) SYMPTOM: In previous releases, if users try to install SFHA on unconfirmed platform, the installer displays an error message and advices users to find corresponding patches through SORT website: DESCRIPTION: In this patch release, the installer uses dynamic data from web service to check the patch status for new platform update. If there is a patch for new platform update on SORT website, the installer automatically downloads and applies it. RESOLUTION: If there is a patch for new platform update on SORT website, the installer automatically downloads and applies it. * 3851011 (Tracking ID: 3846363) SYMPTOM: When upgrading SFHA environments to SFHA 6.0.5 or higher, the CVMTypes.cf is NOT updated with the VCS ClearClone attribute. Customers are unable to specify the ClearClone attribute in main.cf to update the on-disk UDID content for DMP detected hardware replicated devices. DESCRIPTION: The ClearClone attribute was introduced from 6.0.5 onwards. The installer doesn't update CVMTypes.cf with the VCS ClearClone attribute. RESOLUTION: The code is modified to add the VCS ClearClone attribute to CVMTypes.cf. * 3851013 (Tracking ID: 3814804) SYMPTOM: Fail to configure the CP server because the network interface name for VIP is not recognized, such as bond0.636. DESCRIPTION: The Symantec product installer has some limitations for the network interface name. RESOLUTION: The code is modified to remove the limitations for the network interface name. * 3851205 (Tracking ID: 3847737) SYMPTOM: When install or upgrade products in SFHA environment, the system displays an error message after the installer performs pre-check operation. The message reports the Linux kernel version is not supported despite of the fact that the version is actually supported. The error message is as follows: CPI ERROR V-9-40-1395 Kernel Release 3.0.101-0.47.55-default is detected on vmr720-31-v01, which is not supported for this product. DESCRIPTION: The issue occurs because the Linux kernel version you use is not 100% match the kernel version stored in database. RESOLUTION: The code is modified to match only the core part of the kernel version string in database. INSTALLING THE PATCH -------------------- 1. Copy the hotfix CPI_6.2.1_P4.pl to /tmp 2.
