Install and Uninstall Instructions:
-----------------------------------

1.Installing VxFS 5.0-GA-RP8 patch:

a)If you 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)VxFS 5.0(GA)  must be installed before applying these
  patches.

c)To verify the VERITAS file system level, enter:

     # swlist -l product | egrep -i 'VRTSvxfs'

  VRTSvxfs     5.0.31.0        VERITAS File System

Note : VRTSfsman is a corequisite for VRTSvxfs.Hence VRTSfsman also
needs to be installed alongwith VRTSvxfs.

    # swlist -l product | egrep -i 'VRTS'

  VRTSvxfs      5.0.31.0      Veritas File System
  VRTSfsman     5.0.31.0      Veritas File System Manuals

d)All prerequisite/corequisite patches have to be installed.The Kernel patch
  requires a system reboot for both installation and removal.

e)To install the patch, enter the following command:

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s <patch_directory> PHKL_40683 PHCO_40890

Incase the patch is not registered, the patch can be registered
using the following command:

# swreg -l depot <patch_directory>,

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

2.Removing VxFS 5.0-GA-RP8 patch:

a)To remove the patch, enter the following command:

# swremove -x autoreboot=true PHKL_40683 PHCO_40890
