You must upgrade to VCS 5.0 MP1 or 50MP1+e1174520 before applying the patch. This is a mandatory patch for VCS 5.0MP1, whereas, it is optional for VCS 5.0MP1+e1174520 version. Please check if it applies to your environment from the description of the incident mentioned below. This is a cumulative patch which also includes fixes for incidents other than e1142970. POINT PATCH SUMMARY OF CONTENT ------------------------------ This point patch contains: README (this file) 127328-04 (solaris 8) 127329-04 (solaris 9) 127330-04 (solaris 10) PACKAGES AFFECTED BY PATCH -------------------------- VRTSvcs PATCH'S BASE VERSION -------------------- VCS 5.0 MP1 VCS 5.0MP1+e1174520 SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS --------------------------- Solaris 8, 9, 10 LIST OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY PATCH -------------------------------- 1142970: VCS should not log error message if channel is disconnected after initial non-secure handshake. INSTALLING THE PATCH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the point patch to a directory on your system: # cp . 2. Unzip the compressed patch files that you want to install: # gunzip *.gz 3. Extract the compressed patch files from the tar files: # tar -xvf For example, for patch 127328-04, enter: # tar -xvf 127328-04.tar 4. Verify that /opt/VRTS/bin is in your PATH so you can execute all the product commands. Refer to the VCS Installation Guide for more information. 5. Verify that the version of VRTSvcs is 5.0 MP1 or 5.0MP1+e1174520. Assuming that 5.0MP1 is installed, here is the output of pkginfo. On each system, type: # pkginfo -l VRTSvcs Output should resemble the following: PKGINST: VRTSvcs NAME: Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec CATEGORY: system ARCH: sparc VERSION: 5.0 BASEDIR: / VENDOR: Symantec Corporation DESC: Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec PSTAMP: Veritas-5.0MP1-11/29/06-17:15:00 INSTDATE: Sep 14 2007 12:07 STATUS: completely installed FILES: 160 installed pathnames 22 shared pathnames 45 directories 85 executables 1 setuid/setgid executables 142190 blocks used (approx) 6. Stop the cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is writable, you may close the configuration before stopping the cluster. # haconf -dump -makero From one node, execute the following command. # hastop -all -force Verify that the cluster is stopped on all nodes by running the ha command. # hasys -state On all nodes, make sure that both had & hashadow processes are stopped. Also, stop the VCS CmdServer on all nodes. Determine the PID of the CmdServer and enter: # kill -9 7. If you have configured DNS resources, please take a backup of /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf. You may restore this file after the patch is added. Do not perform step 11. 8. Change directory to the patch location. 9. On each node in the cluster, install the patch that corresponds to the version of the operating system running: # patchadd For Solaris 8, install patch 127328-04. For Solaris 9, install patch 127329-04. For Solaris 10, install patch 127330-04. Output resembles (for Solaris 9): Checking installed patches... Executing prepatch script... Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)... Installing patch packages... /var/sadm/pkg Patch number 127329-04 has been successfully installed. See /var/sadm/patch/127329-04/log for details Patch packages installed: VRTSvcs 10. After installation is complete, verify that the patch has been installed. On each system, type: # showrev -p | grep The information displayed after successful installation resembles the following (Solaris 9 example): # showrev -p | grep 127329-04 Patch: 127329-04 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: VRTSvcs 11. If you have configured DNS resources, skip this step. Copy /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf 12. At this time, you can start cluster services on all cluster nodes. On one node, please verify that VCS configuration is valid. # hacf -verify config If the configuration is valid, start VCS: # hastart On all other nodes, start VCS by issuing hastart once the first node goes to LOCAL_BUILD or RUNNING state. REMOVING VCS PATCH ---------------------------------------------------------------- To remove the patch from a running VCS cluster: 1. Perform step 6 from INSTALLING THE PATCH procedure. 2. On each node in the cluster, type the following command: # patchrm 3. Verify that the patch has been removed from each system. For example, on a Solaris 8 machine, type: # showrev -p | grep 127328 It should not list the patch on this system. 4. Copy /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf 5. Restart the cluster by following step 12 from INSTALLING THE PATCH procedure.
