SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
Patch ID: 5.26.0.1
* 3984224 (3983942) The NFS and the RVGPrimary agents failed to find their respective Perl modules.


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

Patch ID: 5.26.0.1

* 3984224 (Tracking ID: 3983942)

SYMPTOM:
The NFS and the RVGPrimary agents failed to find their respective Perl modules.

DESCRIPTION:
Recent changes to the VRTSperl module caused the current directory (denoted by ".") to be excluded from the search path environment variable, @INC. The NFS and the RVGPrimary agents failed to find their respective Perl modules, because they are located in the current directory of the respective agent. The current directory was excluded from the search list, because it was not present in the @INC variable.

RESOLUTION:
The directory paths for the NFS and the RVGPrimary agents are added in the @INC variable so that the respective agents can search those locations and find the required files.



INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
Run the Installer script to automatically install the patch:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please be noted that the installation of this P-Patch will cause downtime.

To install the patch perform the following steps on at least one node in the cluster:
1. Copy the patch perl-rhel6_x86_64-Patch-5.26.0.1.tar.gz to /tmp
2. Untar perl-rhel6_x86_64-Patch-5.26.0.1.tar.gz to /tmp/hf
    # mkdir /tmp/hf
    # cd /tmp/hf
    # gunzip /tmp/perl-rhel6_x86_64-Patch-5.26.0.1.tar.gz
    # tar xf /tmp/perl-rhel6_x86_64-Patch-5.26.0.1.tar

You can install this patch together with Infoscale 7.3.1 base release using Install Bundles
3. Change to the Veritas InfoScale 7.3.1 directory and invoke the installer script
   with -patch_path option where -patch_path should point to the patch directory
    # ./installer -patch_path [<path to this patch>] [<host1> <host2>...]
    # i.e. ./installer -patch_path /tmp/hf

Install the patch manually:
--------------------------
- Extract the tar.gz file in say /tmp/mypatch directory. It contains rpms directory which has VRTSperl rpm. 
There are two ways we can apply this patch.
1- Replace VRTSperl rpm from the DvD of 7.3.1 release and run the installer as per the release instructions
2- Use -patch_path option by providing the path of the extracted tar.gz as below:
./installer -patch_path /tmp/mypatch
