SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH

Patch ID: 6.1.1.1

DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:

Patch ID: 6.1.1.1

* 3141221 (Tracking ID: 3154700)

SYMPTOM:
You cannot assign a policy to a Windows host even when the host has
rotating password credentials. When you scan ESX clusters or servers, data may
be displayed incorrectly in the scan coverage summary in the dashboard. Tickets
related to the SQL Server backup files location security gap may be reopened
after each scan.

DESCRIPTION:
Fixes a bug that prevents assigning a policy to Windows hosts on
the Manage Host Connectivity Policies tab even when the policy does not contain
a rotating password credential.
Fixes a bug in which storage array scanning errors are not displayed.
Fixes a bug that occurs when you selectively choose which ESX clusters to scan.
The comparison module shows all the ESX clusters, even those that were not
marked for scanning. 
Fixes a bug that occurs when more than one vCenter exists, and you selectively
choose which ESX server to scan. The bug causes the first vCenter to be scanned
twice. 
Fixes a bug that occurs when you selectively choose which ESX clusters to scan.
The dashboard displays incorrect data in the scan coverage summary.
Fixes a bug that occurs when you configure business entities hierarchies. The
dashboard and the business entity coverage report show data only for the top
business entity.
Fixes a bug in the SQL Server backup files location gap that causes these
tickets to reopen after each scan.

RESOLUTION:
Symantec has modified the code and scripts to address these issues.



INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
To install the patch:

   1. Download patch DRA_6.1.1.1_HF1.exe.

   2. On the master DRA server, stop the Web server software. Make
      sure you have administrator privileges and enter:

      # net stop TomcatWatchDog
      # net stop tomcat6

   3. Locate the DRA folder. By default, it is on the path:

      C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 6.0webapps

   4. Copy the DRA folder and store it in another location. Do not
      store the copy under the webapps folder. The patch updates files
      in the DRA folder, so if you need to revert to the unpatched
      version of DRA, you need the original folder.

   5. Go to the folder where you downloaded the patch. Find
      DRA_6.1.1.1_HF1.exe and double-click it.

   6. Follow the steps in the wizard to install the patch.

   7. After you install the patch, start the Web server. Enter:

      # net start tomcat6
      # net start TomcatWatchDog

   8. Login to DRA.

  10. Verify that the build number is correct. On the DRA main screen,
      click "About." The build number should be 33249.


REMOVING THE PATCH
------------------
UNINSTALLING THE PATCH
----------------------
Note: Symantec strongly recommends that you install the patch. However,
if you need to revert to the unpatched version of DRA 6.1.1, do the
following:

   1. On the DRA master server, stop the Web server software. Make
      sure you have administrator privileges and enter:

      # net stop TomcatWatchDog
      # net stop tomcat6

   2. Locate the DRA folder. By default, it is on the path:

      C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 6.0webapps

   3. Delete the DRA folder.

   4. Locate the original (unpatched) DRA folder that you backed up.

   5. Copy the folder back to its original location.

   6. Start the Web server. Enter:

      # net start tomcat6
      # net start TomcatWatchDog
