    VRTSvcs

    VCS 5.0 MP3

SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
---------------------------
    Solaris 8, 9, 10

LIST OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY PATCH
--------------------------------
1709464:Typo in hastart script. LANG and LC_ALL do not get unset if they are not 
present in the environment or empty string("").

INSTALLING THE PATCH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Copy the point patch to a directory on your system:
	# cp <patch-name>.tar.gz  <local location>

2.  Unzip the compressed patch file to obtain the patch:
	# gunzip <patch-name>.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

3.  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.

4.  Verify that the installed version of VRTSvcs is 5.0 MP3.
 
    On each system, type:

	# pkginfo -l VRTSvcs
	
    Output should resemble the following:

   PKGINST:  VRTSvcs
      NAME:  Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec
  CATEGORY:  system
      ARCH:  sparc
   VERSION:  5.0
   BASEDIR:  /
    VENDOR:  Symantec Corporation
      DESC:  Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec
    PSTAMP:  Veritas-5.0MP3-08/29/08-16:43:00
  INSTDATE:  Apr 10 2009 15:23
    STATUS:  completely installed
     FILES:      174 installed pathnames
                  26 shared pathnames
                   4 linked files
                  50 directories
                  88 executables
                   1 setuid/setgid executables
              148874 blocks used (approx)

5. Stop the cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is writable, you may
   close the configuration before stopping the cluster.
	# haconf -dump -makero

   From one node, execute the following command.
	# hastop -all -force

   Verify that the cluster is stopped on all nodes 
   by running the ha command.
	# hasys -state

   On all nodes, make sure that both had & hashadow processes are stopped.
   Also, stop the VCS CmdServer on all nodes.
   Determine the PID of the CmdServer and enter:
        # kill -9 <PID>

6. Change directory to the patch location.
	# cd <local location>/patches

7. On each node in the cluster, install the patch that corresponds to the
   version of the operating system running:
	# patchadd 141268-02

   The patch should be sucessfully installed on the node.
   Patch 141268-02 can be installed in Solaris 8, 9 & 10 on sparc architecture.

8. After installation is complete, verify that the patch has been installed.
   On each system, type:
	# showrev -p | grep 141268-02

    The information displayed after successful installation resembles the 
    following (Solaris 9 example):
	Patch: 141268-02 Obsoletes:  Requires:  Incompatibles:  Packages: VRTSvcs

9. At this time, you can start cluster services on all cluster nodes.
   On one node, please verify that VCS configuration is valid.
	# hacf -verify config

   If the configuration is valid, start VCS:
	# hastart

    On all other nodes, start VCS by issuing hastart once the
    first node goes to LOCAL_BUILD or RUNNING state.

REMOVING VCS PATCH
----------------------------------------------------------------
To remove the patch from a running VCS cluster:

1.  Perform Step 5 from "INSTALLING THE PATCH" procedure.

2.  On each node in the cluster, type the following command:
	# patchrm 141268-02

3.  Verify that the patch has been removed from each system.
    For example, on a Solaris 8 machine, type:
	# showrev -p | grep 141268-02

    There will not be any output on screen.

4. Restart the cluster by following Step 9 from "INSTALLING THE PATCH"
   procedure.
