* 3878779 (3879593) Product installation fails for the new operating system (OS) update
version since the installer cannot validate the correct version of dependency
Operating System (OS) rpms for the new OS update.


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

Patch ID: 6.1.1.700

* 3439524 (Tracking ID: 3542842)

SYMPTOM:
The Symantec Product Installer attempts to start the vxconfigd daemon before 
upgrade, which leads to data corruption.

DESCRIPTION:
In Volume Manager (VxVM), while upgrading from 5.1SP1 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 
5.1SP1RP3, the LUNs over 1 Terabyte(TB) in size encounter data corruption.
TechNote: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?
page=content&id=TECH188018
 
During upgrade from 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 5.1SP1RP3 to 6.0 release, 
the Symantec Product Installer attempts to start vxconfigd daemon before 
upgrade which leads to data corruption.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to prevent the vxconfigd daemon from getting started while 
upgrading from 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2 or 5.1SP1RP3.

* 3629843 (Tracking ID: 3629873)

SYMPTOM:
The installer requires the package 'postgresql' as a necessary package when 
customers 
try to install SFHA on RHEL6.5.

DESCRIPTION:
VRTSsfadv provides the package 'postgresql'. It's redundant to add this 
package 
into the list of required OS packages.

RESOLUTION:
The installer has been modified to remove the package 'postgresql' from 
list of 
required OS packages.

* 3658198 (Tracking ID: 3658195)

SYMPTOM:
In previous release, if users install SFHA on RHEL 6.6, installer gives an 
error and notifies users that the current kernel release is not supported.

DESCRIPTION:
Since RHEL 6.6 is released, SFHA now supports it with branches including 
6.0.1/6.0.5/6.1/6.1.1. Installer need to change the notification to guide 
customers to find corresponding patches.

RESOLUTION:
Installer notifies customers to download Symantec product patches when they 
install SFHA on RHEL 6.6.

* 3833268 (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.

* 3835567 (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.

* 3844597 (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.

* 3850888 (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.

* 3871914 (Tracking ID: 3869401)

SYMPTOM:
After upgrading to 6.1 or higher version, the CVMClus_storage_connectivity attribute 
is still there in the CVMCluster type.

DESCRIPTION:
The CVMClus_storage_connectivity attribute is deprecated from 6.1 onwards. The 
installer doesn't update CVMTypes.cf with the CVMClus_storage_connectivity 
attribute.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to remove the CVMClus_storage_connectivity attribute in 
CVMTypes.cf from 6.1 onwards.

* 3878779 (Tracking ID: 3879593)

SYMPTOM:
Product installation failed for the new OS update version.

DESCRIPTION:
During installation, the installer verifies the dependency rpms of OS for the
product. For the new OS update version, there is no defined
or set dependency rpms value. Hence, the product installation fails or the
installer displays incorrect versions of OS rpms.

RESOLUTION:
Set a default dependency OS rpms for each platform (RHEL5, RHEL6, and SLES11) 
and for each release. Remove the specific version for each rpm, just
keep the rpm name and architecture type, like: glibc.x86_64.
