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

Patch ID: 7.2.0.100

* 3910704 (Tracking ID: 3729030)

SYMPTOM:
The fsdedupschd daemon failed to start on RHEL7.

DESCRIPTION:
The dedup service daemon failed to start because RHEL 7 changed the service 
management mechanism. The daemon uses the new systemctl to start and stop 
the service. For the systemctl to properly start, stop, or query the 
service, it needs a service definition file under the 
/usr/lib/systemd/system.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to create the fsdedupschd.service file while installing 
the VRTSfsadv package.
