SYMPTOM:
The basic event registration with AMF fails. Subsequently basic
commands on the system hang.

RESOLUTION:
Symantec has enhanced the AMF driver so that it now supports SLES10 SP4.

To install the patch perform the following steps on all nodes in the VCS cluster:

1. Stop VCS on the cluster node.
2. Install the VRTSamf patch on the cluster node. 
4. Restart VCS on the node.

Stopping VCS on the cluster node
--------------------------------
To stop VCS on the cluster node:

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

2. Verify that the version of VRTSvcs is 5.1SP1RP1.

3. Persistently freeze all the service groups:
   # haconf -makerw
   # hagrp -freeze [group] -persistent
   # haconf -dump -makero
