---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:

Patch ID: 6.2.1.300

* 3789486 (Tracking ID: 3789485)

SYMPTOM:
On Solaris 11, in some scenarios, after upgrading SF Oracle RAC, VCS, SFHA, or 
SFCFSHA to version 6.2.1, the following error may occur: "llt failed to start on 
<server_name>".

DESCRIPTION:
Due to the LLT driver unload issue, the LLT module version persists with 6.2.0, 
even after the product is upgraded to version 6.2.1.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to unload the module prior to package upgrade for LLT, GAB 
and vxfen on Solaris 11.

* 3794821 (Tracking ID: 3801924)

SYMPTOM:
On Solaris 11, on MPXIO-enabled boot-devices such as T3, T4, T5, when you 
upgrade SF, SFHA, SFCFSHA or SF Oracle RAC from 6.2 to 6.2.1, the following 
error message will be displayed: 
"Failed to turn on dmp_native_support tunable on xxx. Refer to Dynamic 
Multi-
Pathing".

DESCRIPTION:
When DMP and MPxIP coexist, the command 'vxdmpadm settune 
dmp_native_support=off' will fail.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to not turn off the tunable dmp_native_support before 
the 
patch upgrade, and not turn on dmp_native_support after the upgrade. During 
the 
upgrade, the product doesnt stop VxVM or VxFS processes. After the 
upgrade, 
you need to reboot to reload the VxVM or the VxFS module.

* 3833269 (Tracking ID: 3832218)

SYMPTOM:
In previous releases, if users try to install SFHA on unconfirmed platform, 
the installer displays an error message and advices users to find 
corresponding patches through SORT website:

DESCRIPTION:
In this patch release, the installer uses dynamic data from web service to 
check the patch status for new platform update. If there is a patch for new 
platform update on SORT website, the installer automatically downloads and 
applies it.

RESOLUTION:
If there is a patch for new platform update on SORT website, the installer 
automatically downloads and applies it.
