DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:
Patch ID: 6.2.1.700
* 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.
* 3851011 (Tracking ID: 3846363)
SYMPTOM:
When upgrading SFHA environments to SFHA 6.0.5 or higher, the CVMTypes.cf
is NOT updated with the VCS ClearClone attribute. Customers are unable to
specify the ClearClone attribute in main.cf to update the on-disk UDID
content for DMP detected hardware replicated devices.
DESCRIPTION:
The ClearClone attribute was introduced from 6.0.5 onwards. The installer
doesn't update CVMTypes.cf with the VCS ClearClone attribute.
RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to add the VCS ClearClone attribute to CVMTypes.cf.
* 3851013 (Tracking ID: 3814804)
SYMPTOM:
Fail to configure the CP server because the network interface name for VIP
is not recognized, such as bond0.636.
DESCRIPTION:
The Symantec product installer has some limitations for the network
interface name.
RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to remove the limitations for the network interface
name.
* 3851205 (Tracking ID: 3847737)
SYMPTOM:
When install or upgrade products in SFHA environment, the system displays
an error message after the installer performs pre-check operation. The
message reports the Linux kernel version is not supported despite of the
fact that the version is actually supported. The error message is as
follows:
CPI ERROR V-9-40-1395 Kernel Release 3.0.101-0.47.55-default is detected on
vmr720-31-v01, which is not supported for this product.
DESCRIPTION:
The issue occurs because the Linux kernel version you use is not 100% match
the kernel version stored in database.
RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to match only the core part of the kernel version
string in database.
* 3854284 (Tracking ID: 3854453)
SYMPTOM:
For AppHA product, the installation and upgrade may be blocked because the installer fails to detect VMware Tools installed.
The following error message is displayed:
CPI ERROR V-9-40-6284 The installer did not detect vmware-tools installed on itgsydtst612
DESCRIPTION:
Even though VMware Tools is already installed and running, the installer fails to detect them because the location of the VMware Tools control script is changed.
RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to detect the new location for VMware Tools control script.
* 3857148 (Tracking ID: 3861130)
SYMPTOM:
On Solaris 11, in some scenarios, after upgrading SF Oracle RAC, VCS, SFHA, or
SFCFSHA to version 6.2.1, LLT may fail to start.
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 remove the module prior to package upgrade for LLT, GAB
and vxfen on Solaris 11.
* 3859349 (Tracking ID: 3860738)
SYMPTOM:
When installing SFHA6.2.1 on RHEL 6.7 system without required x86
libraries
installed, the installer fails to find the corresponding version of RPM
packages.
Instead, it checks for older versions.
DESCRIPTION:
The installer doesnt define the required OS RPMs for RHEL6.7, since RHEL6.7
is
released after SFHA 6.2.1 GA. To support Infoscale 6.2.1 in RHEL 6.7, the
new
patch sfha-rhel6.7_x86_64-Patch-6.2.1.100 is published. The installer
also
needs to update required OS RPMs for it.
RESOLUTION:
The installer has been modified to add required OS RPMs for RHEL6.7.
