02. Make sure VCS virtual machine tools with the correct versions are already installed.
	- On Windows, the version should be 5.11.2000
	- On Linux, the version should be 5.1.40.00.
    See the Veritas Cluster Server Implementation Guide for ESX 5.1MP2 for details.

03. Back up the original scripts.
	- On Windows, back up the following scripts
		 %VCS_HOME%\bin\VMIP\monitor.pl
		 %VCS_HOME%\bin\vcsag_config.pl
	  The default value of %VCS_HOME% is C:\Program Files\Veritas\Cluster Server.
	- On Linux, back up the following scripts
		 $VCS_HOME/bin/VMIP/monitor
		 $VCS_HOME/bin/vcsag_config.pl
        The default value of $VCS_HOME is /opt/VRTSvcs.

04. Copy the new scripts to replace the original scripts
	- On Windows, copy the following scripts to the %VCS_HOME%\bin\VMIP directory:
		patches\vmip_guest\windows\monitor.pl
	- On Windows, copy the following scripts to the %VCS_HOME%\bin directory:
		patches\vcsvm_tools\vcsag_config.pl 
	- On Linux, copy the following scripts to the $VCS_HOME/bin/VMIP directory:
		patches/vmip_guest/linux/monitor
	- On Linux, copy the following scripts to the $VCS_HOME/bin directory:
		patches/vcsvm_tools/vcsag_config.pl

05. Generate VCS configuration for the VMIP resource inside the virtual machine guest operating system
	- On Windows, run
		 "%VRTS_PERL_BIN%\perl" "%VCS_HOME%\bin\vcsag_config.pl" -buildapplyinternaltypes
	The default value of %VRTS_PERL_BIN% is c:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSPerl\bin
	- On Linux, run
		 $VCS_HOME/bin/vcsag_config.pl -buildapplyinternaltypes

Uninstall Instructions:
=======================

---------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Steps to be run on each virtual machine running in the VCS cluster
---------------------------------------------------------------------

01. Log in as superuser/administrator to a virtual machine where the point patch is installed.

02. Restore the original scripts from your backup location.
	- On Windows, restore the following scripts:
		 %VCS_HOME%\bin\VMIP\monitor.pl
		 %VCS_HOME%\bin\vcsag_config.pl
	- On linux, restore the following scripts:
		 $VCS_HOME/bin/VMIP/monitor
		 $VCS_HOME/bin/vcsag_config.pl

Notes:
======
01. Install this patch if you want to configure only the VMIP resource inside the virtual machine guest operating system, without having to configure VCS virtual machine tools.

02. In case you want to configure application resources, you must configure VCS virtual machine tools.

03. When you add new virtual machines to the cluster, you must install this patch on the new virtual machines.
