DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:

Patch ID: 6.1.1.200

* 3629843 (Tracking ID: 3629873)

SYMPTOM:
The installer requires the package 'postgresql' as a necessary package when 
customers 
try to install SFHA on RHEL6.5.

DESCRIPTION:
VRTSsfadv provides the package 'postgresql'. It's redundant to add this package 
into the list of required OS packages.

RESOLUTION:
The installer has been modified to remove the package 'postgresql' from list of 
required OS packages.

* 3658198 (Tracking ID: 3658195)

SYMPTOM:
In previous release, if users install SFHA on RHEL 6.6, installer gives an 
error and notifies users that the current kernel release is not supported.

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 need to change the notification to guide 
customers to find corresponding patches.

RESOLUTION:
Installer notifies customers to download Symantec product patches when they 
install SFHA on RHEL 6.6.

Patch ID: 6.1.1.100

* 3439524 (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.
TechNote: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?
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.
