SYMANTEC INCIDENT: 1966618 (2012371)
SYMPTOM: Staged upgrade does not work for single node installations.
DESCRIPTION: Single node installations are supported by Symantec FileStore, but staged upgrades do not work on this
type of installation.

SYMANTEC INCIDENT: 2085972 (2092238)
SYMANTEC ESCALATION: 412-409-798
SYMPTOM: The Storage> fs grow command increases VxVM volume to 1TB, but it does not increase VxFS to 1TB.
DESCRIPTION: In some cases, if you use the Storage> fs grow command to increase a file system by small amounts
(for example, 10MB or 100MB) it works correctly. If you use the Storage> fs grow command to increase a file system
by large amounts (for example, 1TB) only the volume gets increased, but not the file system.
RESOLUTION: Fixed in this patch by adding resizing checks. If the Storage> fs grow command fails, an error message
displays.

SYMPTOM: When the console server and the master node are different, deleting the secondary tier of a file
system fails.
DESCRIPTION: If the console server and master node are different, and you use the Storage> tier remove command
to delete the secondary tier of a file system, an unknown error occurs.
RESOLUTION: Fixed in this patch.
