INSTALLING THE PATCH ON CLIENT SYSTEMS
--------------------------------------

1. Log on as the superuser to the Veritas Application Director (VAD)
   client system where the patch will be installed.

2. Freeze all the service groups running on that system persistently:

   a. List all the service groups configured on that system and store 
      the list for later use:

      $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -list SystemList=~<system_name>

   b. For each service group listed in the output, enter:

      $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -freeze <group_name>

3. Bring down the VAD client on the system:

   $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hastop -client -local -force

4. Use the ps command to ensure that the VAD client daemon and all 
   agents have exited.

5. Remove the following packages using the appropriate package remove  
   command for the operating system:

   VRTSvadag

   package add command for the operating system:

   $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hastart -client

8. After the VAD client has started, unfreeze the groups that you 
   froze in step 2:

   $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -unfreeze <group_name>
   $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hagrp -value <group_name> Frozen
   0  <== should be 0 and not 1

9. Ensure that the output from hastatus does not show any frozen groups 
   on this system:

   $ /opt/VRTSvad/bin/hastatus -summary
