Installing the hotfix
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Windows Management Server:
--------------------------

1. Download the hotfix ("5.1_Mandatory_HotFix.tar.gz") to a temporary location 
   (for example, C:\Temp\MEGAHOTFIX).


2. Extract the hotfix in the temporary directory.
   
   When you extract the hotfix, the following two files extract:  
     
   LocalUpgrade.pl and VRTSccs-F510001473752.tar.gz


3. To apply the hotfix, do the following:

   - Open an operating system console.

   - Type the following command to change to the HAL bin directory:
          
     (The following assumes that CommandCentral has been installed in the default 
      installation directory)
          
     cd ôC:\Program Files\VERITAS\CommandCentral Storage\HAL\binö

   - Type the following command:

     halsecurity login 
        
     You may have to provide the password for the æadminÆ account which is used 
     while logging in to the Console. The default password for this account is 
     'password' (without single quotes).
        
   - Type the following command to deploy the hotfix:
        
     <HAL bin directory>\perl <C:\Temp\MEGAHOTFIX>\LocalUpgrade.pl <C:\Temp\MEGAHOTFIX>\VRTSccs-F510001473752.tar.gz

     For example:   
        
     perl C:\Temp\MEGAHOTFIX\LocalUpgrade.pl C:\Temp\MEGAHOTFIX\VRTSccs-F510001473752.tar.gz


4. After you deploy the hotfix, you can check the installation logs as follows:

   - To see the detailed logs, go to CommandCentral Storage Data directory.
     
     The default location is:
        
     C:\Program Files\VERITAS\CommandCentral Storage Data\Data\HAL\maint

     cd <HAL data directory>\Data\HAL\maint\VRTSccs-F510001473752\<time stamp>\output
     
     For example:

     C:\Program Files\VERITAS\CommandCentral Storage Data\Data\HAL\maint\VRTSccs-F510001473752\<time stamp>\output

   - Check if there are any errors in the stderr.txt file.
     
   - Check the detailed logs of hotfix application in the stdout.txt file.


5. Verify the hotfix version as follows:
     
   - Open the CommandCentral Storage version file.
     
     The default location is C:\Program Files\VERITAS\CommandCentral Storage\Version\cc_version.txt

   - Check the FIXID and other details which shows the HOTFIX number added with 
     all the details in cc_version.txt
