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

Patch ID: 7.0.1.600

* 3865899 (Tracking ID: 3866180)

SYMPTOM:
After fencing is configured, VxFEN fails to start.

DESCRIPTION:
VxFEN fails to start if the installer uses the openssl command installed with 
OS, because the version of the openssl command is not latest enough to support 
the -sha256 option. As a result, the openssl command fails to generate the csr 
file. The fencing fails to start because of the csr file missing.

RESOLUTION:
The installer is modified to use the openssl command shipped with the VRTSperl 
package.

* 3866781 (Tracking ID: 3867243)

SYMPTOM:
After configuring CP based fencing, VxFEN fails to start.

DESCRIPTION:
On CP client side, the installer uses the openssl command shipped with VRTSperl. On 
CP server 
side, the installer still uses the openssl command installed with OS if the OS 
platforms of 
the CP client side and the CP server side are different. 
The version of the openssl command installed with OS may not be latest enough to 
support the 
-sha256 option, which is used on the server side when the installer sets up HTTPS 
trust 
between CP server and CP client. In this case, the openssl command fails to generate 
the csr 
file, causing the VxFEN to fail to start.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to use the openssl command shipped with the VRTSperl package on 
both the 
CP client side and the CP server side.

* 3878735 (Tracking ID: 3879593)

SYMPTOM:
Veritas 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 (RHEL6, RHEL7, SLES11, and
SLES12) and for each release. Remove the specific version for each rpm, just
keep the rpm name and architecture type, like: glibc.x86_64.

* 3880941 (Tracking ID: 3875921)

SYMPTOM:
VRTSaslapm is not installed when you install InfoScale Enterprise on a new OS update version.

DESCRIPTION:
The installer defines VRTSaslapm as a patch, although VRTSaslapm is a package. 
When you install InfoScale Enterprise, the installer downloads the must-have 
patch for the new OS update automatically. But since the patch installer 
defines VRTSaslapm as a patch, it does not install VRTSaslapm.

RESOLUTION:
Set VRTSaslapm as a package and add it to the list of packages that need to be 
installed.

* 3895711 (Tracking ID: 3895368)

SYMPTOM:
The installer blocks the installation when you install an InfoScale product on the 
Linux platform with an unqualified Linux kernel.

DESCRIPTION:
If you attempt to install an InfoScale product on the Linux platform with an 
unqualified Linux kernel, the installer blocks the installation. But it is not 
necessary for the intaller to block the installation, it should just give a warning.

RESOLUTION:
The installer gives a warning message when you attempt to install an InfoScale 
product on the Linux platform with an unqualified Linux kernel.

* 4037629 (Tracking ID: 4033988)

SYMPTOM:
The product installer displays the following error message after the precheck and does not allow you to proceed with the installation:
The higher version of <package_name> is already installed on <system_name>

DESCRIPTION:
The product installer compares the versions of the packages in an Infoscale patch bundle with those of the packages that are installed on a system. If a more recent version of any of the packages in the bundle is found to be already installed on the system, the installer displays an error. It does not allow you to proceed further with the installation.

RESOLUTION:
The product installer is updated to allow the installation of an Infoscale patch bundle that may contain older versions of some packages. Instead of an error message, the installer now displays a warning message and lets you proceed with the installation.

* 4037630 (Tracking ID: 4027759)

SYMPTOM:
The product installer installs lower versions packages if multiple patch bundles are specified using the patch path options in the incorrect order.

DESCRIPTION:
The product installer expects that the patch bundles, if any, are specified in the lower-to-higher order. Consequently, the installer always overrides the package version from the available package in the last patch bundle in which it exists. If patch bundles are not specified in the expected order, installer installs last available version for a component package.

RESOLUTION:
To address this issue, the product installer is updated to correctly identify the higher package version before installing the patch bundles. It does so regardless of the order in which the patch bundles are specified.
