INSTALLING THE PATCH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perform the following steps on each node in the cluster.
1.  Copy the point patch to a directory on your system:
	# cp <patch.tar.gz> .

2.  Unzip the compressed patch files that you want to install:
	# gunzip *.gz

3.  Extract the compressed patch files from the tar files:
	# tar -xvf <patch.tar>

4.  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.

5. Stop RemoteGroup agent
   Check if the agent's process is running on the system
        # ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -w RemoteGroupAgent

   Stop the agent if it is running
	# haagent -stop RemoteGroup -force -sys <system>

   Verify that the agent's process is stopped
        # ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -w RemoteGroupAgent

6. Change directory to the patch location.

7. Install the patch that corresponds to the version of the OS running:
        # cd patches
	# patchadd <patch_id>

	For Solaris 8, install patch 142609-01.
	For Solaris 9, install patch 142610-01.
	For Solaris 10, install patch 142611-01.

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

9. Restart RemoteGroup agent, if stopped at step 7
	# haagent -start RemoteGroup -sys <system>

REMOVING VCS PATCH
----------------------------------------------------------------
Perform the following steps on each node in the cluster.

10. Stop RemoteGroup agent same as step 5

11. Remove the patch
	# patchrm <patch_id>

    Verify that the patch has been removed. For example, on a Solaris 9 machine, type:
	# showrev -p | grep 142610

    It should not list the patch on this system.

12. Restart RemoteGroup agent, if stopped at step 10
	# haagent -start RemoteGroup -sys <system>
