Readme file
Release: AxRT 4.0_5.3 & 4.0MP4

Issue Details:
AIX 4.0_5.3 and 4.0MP4 installation program fails to detect 5.3 OS level and aborts the installation.

Error Message: 
CPI ERROR V-9-10-1167 Cannot install Cluster Server on system <sys> as its AIX version is 5.3.7 which is not supported with this release. Cluster Server 4.0.1.0 is supported on versions 5.3.0.

Solution:
Symantec is providing a new Perl module as a workaround to this installation problem.

Workaround Steps:
      1.  Copy the Perl module aix_5.3_oslevel.pl to /tmp
      2.  Usage: 
          For fresh installation with 4.1_5.3 GA release media:
	./install<prod> -require /tmp/aix_5.3_oslevel.pl
	
	Example:
	./installvcs -require /tmp/aix_5.3_oslevel.pl

           
          For maintenance pack installation with 4.0MP4 release media:
	./installmp -require /tmp/aix_5.3_oslevel.pl
