Install and Uninstall Instructions for the VxFS patches: 
-----------------------------------------------------------

1. To install the VxFS 3.5-MP4RP3 patch:

a) To install this patch on a CVM cluster, install it one
 system at a time so that all the nodes are not brought down
 simultaneously.
b) The VxFS 3.5(GA) must be installed before applying these
  patches.
c) To verify the VERITAS file system level, execute:
     # swlist -l product | egrep -i 'VRTSvxfs'
  VRTSvxfs   3.5-ga15       VERITAS File System with CFS Support

Note: VRTSfsman is a corequisite for VRTSvxfs. So, VRTSfsman also
needs to be installed with VRTSvxfs.

d) All prerequisite/corequisite patches must be installed. The Kernel patch 
  requires a system reboot for both installation and removal.
e) To install the patch, execute the following command:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s <patch_directory> PHCO_39124 PHKL_38561

If the patch is not registered, you can register it
using the following command:

# swreg -l depot <patch_directory>

The <patch_directory> is the absolute path where the patch resides.

2. To remove the VxFS PHCO_39124 PHKL_38561  patches:

a) Execute the following command:

# swremove -x autoreboot=true PHCO_39124 PHKL_38561
