INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
Run the Installer script to automatically install the patch:
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you have already installed 6.0.5 Maintenance Release, you do not need to apply this patch unless
any of the LLT, GAB, VXFEN drivers have failed to add.
To install the patch perform the following steps on at least one node in the cluster:
1. Copy the patch sfha-sol11_sparc-6.0.5.100-patches.tar.gz to /tmp
2. Untar sfha-sol11_sparc-6.0.5.100-patches.tar.gz to /tmp/hf
# mkdir /tmp/hf
# cd /tmp/hf
# gunzip /tmp/sfha-sol11_sparc-6.0.5.100-patches.tar.gz
# tar xf /tmp/sfha-sol11_sparc-6.0.5.100-patches.tar
3. Install the hotfix
# pwd
/tmp/hf
# ./installSFHA605P1 [<host1> <host2>...]
You can also install this patch together with 6.0.1 GA release and 6.0.5 Maintenance Release
# ./installSFHA605P1 -mr_path [<605 path>] -base_path [<601 path>] [<host1> <host2>...]
where the -mr_path should point to the 6.0.5 image directory, while -base_path to the 6.0.1 image.
If the systems are already at 6.0.1 GA or 6.0.3 Maintenance Release, you can install this patch together
with 6.0.5 Maintenance Release
# ./installSFHA605P1 -mr_path [<605 path>] [<host1> <host2>...]
Note: If you are installing to an Alternate Boot Environment, "-rootpath <alternate_root_path>" option
can be used. For example,
# ./installSFHA605P1 -mr_path [<605 path>] -rootpath [<alternate_root_path>] [<host1> <host2>...]
where -rootpath points to the Mount point where the Alternate Boot Environment is mounted.
