INCIDENT FIXED IN THIS PATCH
----------------------------
1430101: [291-077-952][5.0.31.0]HP-UX 11.31 MultiNICA netmask issue

INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------

1. Ensure that "/opt/VRTS/bin" directory is included in your PATH
   environment variable so you can execute all the VCS commands. Refer
   to Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for more information.

2. Verify that the version of VRTSvcs is 5.0 for HP-UX 11i v3.

3. Freeze all the service groups persistently.

    # haconf -makerw;
    # hagrp -freeze <group> -persistent
    # haconf -dump -makero

4. Stop the cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is writable, you may
   close the configuration before stopping the cluster.

    # haconf -dump -makero

   From one node, execute the following command.

    # hastop -all

   Verify that the cluster is stopped on all nodes
   by running the ha command.

    # hasys -state

   On all nodes, make sure that both had and hashadow processes are
   stopped.
   Also, stop the VCS CmdServer on all nodes.
   Determine the PID of the CmdServer and enter:

    # CmdServer -stop

5. On each node, extract the patch from its tar archive.
   Run the following commands:

    # cd <patch_location>
    # tar -xvf <Patch Tarball File>

6. Change directory to the patch/ directory inside the extracted
   location:

    # cd patches/

7. Install the patch using swinstall command:

    # swinstall -s `pwd` PVCO_03853

8. Verify that the patch is successfully installed.

    # swlist | grep PVCO_03853

   The output should resemble to following:

   PVCO_03853    1.0            VRTS 5.0 11iv3 VRTSvcsag Point Patch

9. At this time, you can start the cluster services on all cluster
   nodes.
   First start VCS on one node:

    # hastart

   On all the other nodes, start VCS by issuing hastart after the first
   node goes to LOCAL_BUILD or RUNNING state.

10. Unfreeze all the groups.

     # haconf -makerw
     # hagrp -unfreeze <group> -persistent
     # haconf -dump -makero


REMOVING THE PATCH
------------------

1. Make sure that VCS is not running in the cluster.

    # hastop -all

    or

    # hastop -all -force

2. Remove the patch using swremove command

    # swremove PVCO_03853
