I] BEFORE GETTING STARTED
------------------------
The name of this patch is UNOF_VCS50HF1_11iv3_CMD01.

This patch is for VCS 5.0 or 5.0RP2 on HP-UX 11i v3. You must
upgrade to VCS 5.0 or 5.0RP2 before applying the patch.

The patch includes the following package:
	VRTSvcs: Veritas Cluster Server by Symantec


II] INSTALLING THE PATCH
-----------------------
Perform the following steps on all the nodes in the cluster.

1. Ensure that "/opt/VRTS/bin" directory is included in your PATH
   environment variable so that you can execute all the VCS commands.
   Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for 
   more information.

2. Verify that the version of VRTSvcs is 5.0 or 5.0RP2 for HP-UX 11i v3

3. Freeze all the service groups persistently:
	# haconf -makerw
	# hagrp -freeze <group> -persistent
	# haconf -dump -makero

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

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

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

   On all nodes, make sure that both had and hashadow processes are
   stopped.
   Also, stop the VCS CmdServer on all nodes.
	# CmdServer -stop

5. Run the following command to change to the extracted patch 
   directory. For example:
	# cd /<EXTRACT_DIR>
    where, EXTRACT_DIR is the location where the downloaded patch
           is extracted.

6. Run the following command to upgrade to VCS 5.0HF1 or 5.0RP2HF1:
	# swinstall -s `pwd`/patches  UNOF_VCS50HF1_11iv3_CMD01

    where, `pwd` is the location to which the downloaded patch has been
            extracted.

7. Verify that the patch has been installed.
	# swverify UNOF_VCS50HF1_11iv3_CMD01

   No errors are reported if the patch is installed properly.

8. Repeat step 5, 6, and 7 on the all the nodes of the cluster.

9. At this time, you can start the cluster services on all cluster
    nodes. First, start VCS on one node:
	# hastart

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

10. Unfreeze all the groups:
	# haconf -makerw
	# hagrp -unfreeze <group> -persistent
	# haconf -dump -makero


III]  REMOVING THE PATCH
------------------------
1. Make sure that VCS is not running in the cluster.
    	# hastop -all
    or
    	# hastop -all -force

2. Remove the package from each node using the swremove command:
	# swremove UNOF_VCS50HF1_11iv3_CMD01

3.  Verify that the package has been removed from each node.
	# swlist | grep UNOF_VCS50HF1_11iv3_CMD01

    There shall not be any output to that command.

4. Start VCS in the cluster with the command
	# hastart
