Note:
----
The patch Installer was updated on Jan. 4th, 2017 to fix following issue.

* 3907712

SYMPTOM:
The installer fails to install the patch of the base package on the node that 
has a Maintenance Release (MR) installed. 

DESCRIPTION:
If a node already has a Maintenance Release installed, the installer aborts the 
installation on the node with the following error message:
'SFCFSHA 6.2.0 does not appear to be installed or licensed'.

RESOLUTION:
The code of the installer is now modified to allow the P-patch installer to 
install the base patch on the nodes, even if they already have a base and 
Maintenance Release installed.

Patch ID: 6.2.0.100

SYMPTOM:
In Cluster File System(CFS) on Linux, stack overflow while creating
ODM file.

DESCRIPTION:
In case of CFS, while creating a ODM file, cluster inode needs
initialization, which takes GLM(Group Lock Manager) lock.  While taking GLM
lock, processing within GLM module may lead to the system panic due to stack
overflow in Linux while doing memory allocation.

RESOLUTION:

* 3821699 (Tracking ID: 3821698)

SYMPTOM:
