INSTALLING THE PATCH:

The following steps should be run on all nodes in the VCS cluster:

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

2. Verify that the version of VRTSvcsag is 3.5 U4 for HP-UX 11i v1.

3. Freeze all the service groups persistently, on all nodes:
	# 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 ha command.
	# hasys -state

   On all nodes, make sure that both had and hashadow processes are stopped. 


Installing the Patch:
--------------------
1. Un-compress the downloaded patch from Symantec.
   Change directory to the unzipped patch location. 
   Install the VRTSvcsag 3.5U4HF1 patch using the following command:
	# swinstall -s [dir]/patches PVCO_03899

2. Verify that the new patch has been installed:
	# swlist  PVCO_03899
   You will find the following output on display with the patch 
   installed properly:

Re-starting VCS on the cluster node:
-----------------------------------
1. 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.

2. Unfreeze all the groups.
     # haconf -makerw
     # hagrp -unfreeze [group] -persistent
     # haconf -dump -makero
