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

Patch ID: 6.0.3.600

* 3112849 (Tracking ID: 3128888)

SYMPTOM:
While validating upgrade procedure with an encapsulated boot disk and the disk group minoring is already set to 1000, CPI will fail the installation.

DESCRIPTION:
In the case above, CPI will attempt to reminor and then fail the installation because the vxdg command returns a non-zero exit code.

RESOLUTION:
CPI will not attempt to re-minor if the base minor is already 1000.

* 3113795 (Tracking ID: 3131744)

SYMPTOM:
Timing issue with enabling DMP_native_support interoperability issues with ZFS devices

DESCRIPTION:
On Solaris 10, for DMP product, If ZFS zpools are configured prior to upgrading 6.0.3, if user previously set tunable dmp_native_support=on, it'll take a long time for installer to enable dmp_native_support after upgrade.

RESOLUTION:
Installer provide a question asking if user want to enable dmp_native_support after upgrade.

* 3124232 (Tracking ID: 3125494)

SYMPTOM:
CPI fails with QEMU undefined when user have bios vendor QEMU.

DESCRIPTION:
If customer have bios vendor QEMU, CPI will report the following error message:
CPI ERROR V-9-0-0 1 thread 1 threw error: Can't locate object method "QEMU" via package "Padv::RHEL5x8664"

RESOLUTION:
CPI replace $padv->QEMU by $padv->VIRT_QEMU in padv.pm.

* 3227558 (Tracking ID: 3243089)

SYMPTOM:
During a live upgrade on SunOS, the rsh or the ssh command use approximately 3 minutes per node to verify if a node is alive. The verification process causes a delay in the installation process.

DESCRIPTION:
During an installation process, when the rsh or the ssh command is invoked, the command verifies the state of each node to understand if it is alive. In the process of verification, the commands consume more time than expected, which causes a delay in the installation process. The installer also reports error messages during the rsh communication precheck. Some of these error messages are invalid that leads to repeated verification of the ssh or the rsh connection.

RESOLUTION:
Remove the invalid error messages while CPI verifies the rsh or the ssh commands. CPI executes the rsh or the ssh communication only once regardless of the failure that is observed in the rsh or the ssh verification process.

* 3228679 (Tracking ID: 3230218)

SYMPTOM:
With Solaris version 11, the Common Product Installer (CPI) based installation process fails during a precheck because the nslookup command is missing.

DESCRIPTION:
The Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) has deprecated the use of nslookup command instead has certified to use either the host or dig. The CPI packages contain the nslookup command, which the standard build does not support. 

During an installation, the Storage Foundation (SF) CPI installer installs the bind packages (pkg:/network/dns/bind) and later removes these bind packages to comply with the ISC's new security guidelines. However, during a precheck when the nslookup command is not found, the installer stops the installation with an error.

RESOLUTION:
To prevent the installation failure, remove the nslookup command from the preinstallation command check-list.
