Install/Uninstall Instructions:

For Solaris 8, 9, and 10 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm'
scripts provided with Solaris. Any other special or non-generic installation instructions are described below
as special instructions. The following example installs a patch on a standalone machine:

        example# patchadd 124358-xx

The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:

        example# patchrm 124358-xx

For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.


Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
If you are updating using Live Upgrade, a new vxlustart script is provided in scripts/vxlustart.  This should be used in place of script from original installation media.

Use the shutdown command to reboot the system after installing or uninstalling a patch:

        # shutdown -g0 -y -i6


For Solaris 10 systems only, before installing this VM patch, install Solaris 10 patch 119254-09 (or later).
If a user does not install this Solaris patch, VM installation may fail.
Also, without the Solaris patch, the patchrm script will fail for paths beginning with "/".
This Solaris patch fixes packaging, installation and patch utilities. [Sun Bug ID 6337009]

if patch 124354-02 is removed after patch 117080-07 is installed.  See Sun bug CR 6529882 for details.
To ensure that these problems do not occur, do the following in the EXACT order shown here BEFORE
