Etrack Incidents: 1832093, 1718459

SDR's of Fixed Symantec Incidents:
--------------------------------
Symantec Incident : 1832093
Symptom:
	VCS Oracle Configuration Wizard displays an exception when "Next"
	button is clicked on "Mount Configuration" page. When user 
	clicks "Next" again following error is displayed:
	    "ERROR: V-16-12-1533 Enter netmask for the IP address."
Defect Description:
	This happens when listener IP is plumbed on a interface
	which has name of format other than "eth*". e.g. If listener IP is
	plumbed on interface bond0:0 then wizard displays these errors.
Resolution:
	This issue in Oracle wizard discovery is fixed by properly
	detecting network interfaces irrespective of their naming convention.

VRTSvcsor 5.0MP3RP2HF1:
Symantec Incident : 1718459
Symptom:
	When we set an error corresponding to an ORA error in 
	the oraerror.dat file, the agent was not honoring the action. 
	Instead, it was always failing over the resource.
Defect Description:
	This was happening because the function call for parsing 
	the ORA errors and taking the corresponding action was missing.
Resolution:
	We had populated the ORA errors in VCSAgStartUp() function. 
	Once we had these ora errors and its corresponding actions, 
	the agent started performing the corresponding errors.
