    Application Agent executable codes

MANUALLY INSTALLING THE VCS PATCH ON AN INACTIVE SYSTEM
-------------------------------------------------------

To install the VCS patch manually on an inactive system:

0.  Read this README before you install.

1.  If VCS is currently not running, use the patchadd command to install
    the patch on each system in the cluster:

    Install the following patch with Solaris Sparc operating system:

        patch 140650-01

    On each system in the cluster, change directory to the patches location.

        # patchadd 140650-01

2.  Verify the patch is installed.

        # showrev -p | grep 140650-01


MANUALLY INSTALLING THE VCS PATCH ON A RUNNING CLUSTER
------------------------------------------------------

The manual installation option is for VCS users only.

To manually apply the patch to a running VCS cluster:

0.  Read this README before you install.

Perform steps 1 through 8 on one node of the cluster

1.  Verify that /opt/VRTS/bin is in your PATH so you can execute all the
    product commands. Refer to the VCS Installation Guide for more 
    information.

2.  List the service groups in your cluster and their status. On any 
    system, type:

        # hagrp -state

3.  Take the ClusterService service group offline, if it is running. On any
    system type:

        # hagrp -offline -force ClusterService -sys <system>

4.  Make the VCS configuration writable. On any system, type:

        # haconf -makerw

5. Freeze all service groups. On any system, type:

        # hagrp -freeze <service_group> -persistent

6. Save the configuration file (main.cf) with the groups frozen. On any 
   system, type:

        # haconf -dump -makero

7. Shut down VCS. On any system, type: 

        # hastop -all -force

8. Confirm VCS has shut down.

Perform steps 9 through 12 on each nodes of the cluster
9. Change directory to the patch location.

10. Install the patch 140650-01 on Solaris Sparc:

        # patchadd 140650-01

11. Verify the patch is installed.

        # showrev -p | grep 140650-01

12. Restart VCS. On each system, type:

        # /etc/rc3.d/S99vcs start
13. After VCS has started on all systems, perform the following steps: 

    a. Verify all resources have been probed. On any system, type:

        # hastatus -summary

    b. Unfreeze all service groups. On any system, type:

        # haconf -makerw

        # hagrp -unfreeze <service_group> -persistent

        # haconf -dump -makero

    c. Bring the ClusterService service group online, if necessary. On any 
       system type:

        # hagrp -online ClusterService -sys <system>


REMOVING VCS PATCH 
------------------

To remove the VCS patch:

1.  If the cluster is running, on each system repeat step 2 through step 8
    of the manual installation procedure.

2.  Type the following command on each system:

        # patchrm 140650-01

3.  Restart VCS. On each system, type:

	# /etc/rc3.d/S99vcs start
4.  After VCS has started, perform the following steps:	

    a. Verify all resources have been probed. On each system, type:

	# hastatus -summary

    b. Unfreeze all service groups. On any system, type:

	# haconf -makerw

	# hagrp -unfreeze <service_group> -persistent

	# haconf -dump -makero

    c. Online the ClusterService service group, if necessary.  
       On any system type:

        # hagrp -online ClusterService -sys <system>
