* 3390290 (Tracking ID: 3542842)

SYMPTOM:
The Symantec Product Installer attempts to start the vxconfigd daemon before 
upgrade, which leads to data corruption.

DESCRIPTION:
In Volume Manager (VxVM), while upgrading from 5.1SP1 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 
5.1SP1RP3, the LUNs over 1 Terabyte(TB) in size encounter data corruption.

page=content&id=TECH188018
 
During upgrade from 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 5.1SP1RP3 to 6.0 release, 
the Symantec Product Installer attempts to start vxconfigd daemon before 
upgrade which leads to data corruption.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to prevent the vxconfigd daemon from getting started while 
upgrading from 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2 or 5.1SP1RP3.

* 3658198 (Tracking ID: 3658195)

SYMPTOM:

DESCRIPTION:
Since RHEL 6.6 is released, SFHA now supports it with branches including 
6.0.1/6.0.5/6.1/6.1.1. Installer needs to change the notification to guide 
customers to find corresponding patches.

RESOLUTION:

install SFHA on RHEL 6.6.
