DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH --------------------------------------- This patch fixes the following incidents: Patch ID: 7.1.0.500 * 3893137 (Tracking ID: 3893138) SYMPTOM: The secure cluster configuration fails after you install InfoScale Availability. DESCRIPTION: The secure cluster configuration depends on the presence of the ksh package. When you install InfoScale Availability, the installer does not check for the ksh package as the other packages do not have a dependency on ksh. So the installation is successful but the secure configuration fails. RESOLUTION: Add ksh package to the VRTSvcs dependency check list during the installation. * 3895362 (Tracking ID: 3895368) SYMPTOM: The installer blocks the installation when you install an InfoScale product on the Linux platform with an unqualified Linux kernel. DESCRIPTION: If you attempt to install an InfoScale product on the Linux platform with an unqualified Linux kernel, the installer blocks the installation. But it is not necessary for the intaller to block the installation, it should just give a warning. RESOLUTION: The installer gives a warning message when you attempt to install an InfoScale product on the Linux platform with an unqualified Linux kernel. * 3896140 (Tracking ID: 3896188) SYMPTOM: The installer blocks the configuration when you configure LLT over UDP with a private link using a different subnet on a cluster. DESCRIPTION: If you try to configure a VCS cluster with LLT over UDP mode with a private link using a different subnet, the installer blocks the configuration. But this kind of configuration is actually possible. The installer should not to forbid it. RESOLUTION: The installer allows the configuration of a cluster when you configure LLT over UDP with a private link using a different subnet on a cluster. * 3904941 (Tracking ID: 3904943) SYMPTOM: The installer fails with the error message 'No padv object defined for padv SLESx8664 for system on Sles12 SP2. DESCRIPTION: The installer fails with the error message 'No padv object defined for padv SLESx8664 for system' on Sles12 SP2. RESOLUTION: The installer code is modified to resolve the issue. * 3908993 (Tracking ID: 3909010) SYMPTOM: One of the rpool devices display UNAVIL state after upgrading from 6.1 to 7.1 on Solaris Sparc systems. The devices vxdmp pseudo device was disappeared when enable dmp native support in 7.1 product and reboot. DESCRIPTION: One of the rpool devices display UNAVIL state after upgrading from 6.1 to 7.1 on Solaris Sparc systems. The devices vxdmp pseudo device disappears when the system is rebooted after enabling dmp native support in 7.1. This is because the installer fails to process the configuration file /kernel/drv/vxdmp.conf appropriately during the upgrade. RESOLUTION: The installer code is modified to use the correct vxdmp.conf file after the upgrade. * 3915934 (Tracking ID: 3916443) SYMPTOM: The Veritas product installer fails to close the SSH socket connection, allowing the connection to run in the background indefinitely in some scenarios. DESCRIPTION: The Veritas product installer fails to close the SSH socket connection in the following scenarios: > When customers use the comsetup or comcleanup options to create or remove the ssh password-less connection > When customers choose to delete the ssh password-less connection at the end of the installer processes RESOLUTION: The installer code has now been updated to close the SSH socket connection INSTALLING THE PATCH -------------------- 1.
