INSTALLING THE PATCH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Copy the point patch to a directory on your system:

	# cp <patch.gz> .

2.  Unzip the compressed patch files that you want to install:

	# gunzip *.gz

3.  Extract the compressed patch files from the tar files:

	# tar -xvf <filename.tar>

        For example, for patch 144139-01, enter:

	# tar -xvf 144139-01.tar
4.  Verify that /opt/VRTS/bin is in your PATH so you can execute all the 
    product commands. Refer to the VCS Installation Guide for more 
    information.

5.  Verify that the version of VRTSvcsag is 5.0 MP3 RP3. 
    On each system, type:

	# pkginfo -l VRTSvcsag
    Output should resemble the following:

   PKGINST:  VRTSvcsag

    On each system, type:

              149372 blocks used (approx)

6. Stop the cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is writable, you may
   close the configuration before stopping the cluster.

        # haconf -dump -makero

   From one node, execute the following command.

        # 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 & hashadow processes are stopped.
   Also, stop the VCS CmdServer on all nodes.
   Determine the PID of the CmdServer and enter:
        # kill -9 <PID>

7. Change directory to the patch location.

8. On each node in the cluster, install the patch that corresponds to the
   version of the operating system running:
	# patchadd 144139-01

	Validating patches...
	Loading patches installed on the system...
	Done!
	Loading patches requested to install.
	Done!
	Checking patches that you specified for installation.
	Done!

	Approved patches will be installed in this order:

	144139-01 

	Checking installed patches...
	Executing prepatch script...
	Installing patch packages...

	Patch 144139-01 has been successfully installed.
	See /var/sadm/patch/144139-01/log for details

	Patch packages installed:
	  VRTSvcs
	  VRTSvcsag

9. After installation is complete, verify that the patch has been installed. 
   On each system, type:   
	# showrev -p | grep <patch_id>
    The information displayed after successful installation resembles the 
    following (Solaris 10 example):

	# showrev -p | grep 144139-01
	Patch: 144139-01 Obsoletes:  Requires: 139358-03 Incompatibles:  Packages: VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag

10. Now save the original types.cf and copy the new one, on all nodes of the cluster.
	# mv /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf.orig
	# cp /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/types.cf /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/types.cf

11. Change the main.cf as per the new types.cf.

12. At this time, you can start cluster services on all cluster nodes.
    On one node, please verify that VCS configuration is valid.

	# hacf -verify config

    If the configuration is valid, start VCS:

	# hastart

    On all other nodes, start VCS by issuing hastart once the
    first node goes to LOCAL_BUILD or RUNNING state.

REMOVING VCS PATCH
----------------------------------------------------------------
To remove the patch from a running VCS cluster:

1.  Perform step 6 from INSTALLING THE PATCH procedure.

2.  On each node in the cluster, type the following command:

	# patchrm 144139-01 

	Validating patches...

	Loading patches installed on the system...

	Done!

	Checking patches that you specified for removal.

	Done!

	Approved patches will be removed in this order:

	144139-01 

	Checking installed patches...

	Backing out patch 144139-01...

	Patch 144139-01 has been backed out.

3.  Verify that the patch has been removed from each system. 
    For example, on a Solaris 10 machine, type:   
	# showrev -p | grep 144139-01

	It should not list the patch on this system.

4. Restart the cluster by following step 10 from INSTALLING THE PATCH
   procedure.
