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

Patch ID: 7.1.0_HF1

* 3870297 (Tracking ID: 3870296)

SYMPTOM:
* EMC Symmetrix scan issues when using Windows SymCLI proxy.
* Oracle Archive Dest recovery parameter issue.
* EMC SymCLI Scan issues.
* Unable to delete worksheets in Comparison tab.
* Import from CMDB fails.
* Import from CSV .
* Business Entity Import.
* Business Entities Modification.
* Ability to import VMs from CMDB.

DESCRIPTION:
* Scan of EMC Symmetrix arrays may fail when performed through a Windows SymCLI
proxy. 
* In a specific Oracle scenario when Archive dest path is configured with
USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, the system fails to connect the Oracle Archive system
with the File System in the topology.
* EMC Symmetrix scans fail in certain SymCLI versions and do not return any data,
thus failing to scan the environment. 
* If the imported VM name is different than the hostname, then the system enters a
duplicate entry in a database, thus failing the import process. 
* Added support for special (invalid) character and non-breakable space in CSV
import. 
* Imported items are removed after importing CSV for the second time, containing
the Business Entities association. 
* Ability to modify and remove Business Entities association when importing from
CMDB/CSV. 
* If the OS type is different than expected, the VM is not imported.

RESOLUTION:
veritas has modified the code to resolve these issues.



INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
1.    Download the patch VRA_7.1.0.1.exe and copy it to the master VRA server.
2.    On the master VRA server, stop the VRA web server using the following steps:
    a.    Open a command line window running with administrator privileges.
    b.    Enter the following commands: 
        # net stop TomcatWatchDog
        # net stop tomcat8
3.    Locate the VRA folder. By default, it is in the path: 
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\ 
4.    Make a copy of the VRA folder and store it in another location. (Do not store the copy under the tomcat tree.) The patch updates files in this folder, so if you need to revert to the unpatched version of VRA, you will need the original folder.
5.    Go to the folder where you downloaded the patch. Find VRA_7.1.0.1.exe and double-click it.
6.    Follow the steps in the wizard to install the patch. 
7.    On the master VRA server, start the VRA web server using the following steps:
    a.    Open a command line window running with administrator privileges.
    b.    Enter the following commands: 
        # net start tomcat8
        # net start TomcatWatchDog
8.    Login to VRA. 
9.    Verify that the build number is correct. On the VRA main screen, click About. The build number should be 39358.


REMOVING THE PATCH
------------------
Veritas strongly recommends that you install the patch. However, if after installing it you need to revert to the unpatched version of VRA 7.1, use the following procedure:

1.    Make sure you still have the backed up copy of the pre-patched, version 7.1 VRA folder.
2.    On the master VRA server, stop the VRA web server using the following steps:
    a.    Open a command line window running with administrator privileges.
    b.    Enter the following commands: 
        # net stop TomcatWatchDog
        # net stop tomcat8
3.    Locate the VRA folder. By default,  it is in the path:
        C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0\webapps\ 
4.    Delete the VRA folder.
5.    Copy the backed up folder to its original location. If you have changed the name of the copied folder, make sure to rename it to VRA .
6.    On the master VRA server, start the VRA web server using the following steps:
    a.    Open a command line window running with administrator privileges.
    b.    Enter the following commands:
