You must upgrade to VCS 5.0 MP3 RP2 before applying this patch.

Ensure that "/opt/VRTS/bin" directory is included in your PATH environment variable so you can execute all the VCS commands. Refer to Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for more information. 2. Verify that the version of VRTSvcs is 5.0 MP3 RP2 for Linux. 3. Freeze all the service groups persistently. # haconf -makerw # hagrp -freeze -persistent # haconf -dump -makero 4. Stop the cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is writable, you may close the configuration before stopping the cluster. # haconf -dump -makero From any node, execute the following command. # hastop -all or # 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 and hashadow processes are stopped. Also, stop the VCS CmdServer on all nodes. # CmdServer -stop 5. Run the following command to change to the RPMs directory. For example: # cd 6. Run the following command to upgrade to 5.0 MP3 RP2 HF2: # rpm -Uvh VRTSvcsag-5.0.30.22-MP3RP2HF2_..rpm 7. Verify that the patch has been installed. # rpm -q VRTSvcsag The following information is displayed after successful patch installation: VRTSvcsag-5.0.30.22-MP3RP2HF2_ where, DIST is either RHEL4, RHEL5, SLES9 or SLES10. 8. Repeat step 5, 6, and 7 on the all the nodes of the cluster. 9. At this time, you can start the cluster services on all cluster nodes. First start VCS on one node: # hastart On all the other nodes, start VCS by issuing hastart after the first node goes to LOCAL_BUILD or RUNNING state. 10. Unfreeze all the groups. # haconf -makerw # hagrp -unfreeze -persistent # haconf -dump -makero III] REMOVING THE PACKAGE -------------------------- 1. Make sure that VCS is not running in the cluster. # hastop -all or # hastop -all -force 2. Remove the package from each node using the rpm command: # rpm -e VRTSvcsag 3. Verify that the package has been removed from each node. # rpm -qa | grep VRTSvcsag The package VRTSvcsag should not be displayed, which confirms that the package is removed.
