SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
Patch ID: 5.0.16.1
* 3273283 (3289352) [VCS]VCS unable to failover cascaded SRDF as it cannot detect rdfg number


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

Patch ID: 5.0.16.1

* 3273283 (Tracking ID: 3289352)

SYMPTOM:
The VCS SRDF Agent resource fails to come online when resource is configured to 
monitor a device 
group which is configured in a concurrent/cascaded environment and SYMCLI 
version is 7.5 .

DESCRIPTION:
In cascaded environment the agent requires the RDF group number when firing a 
symrdf query 
command. To identify the RDF group number the agent fires the symdg show 
command. With SYMCLI 
7.5 the output of symdg show command has been changed and thus the agent was 
unable to identify 
the RDF group number.

As a result the the symrdf query command fails and the resource faults.

RESOLUTION:
The issue has been fixed in the VCS SRDF agent. The Agent has been enhanced to 
successfully 
retrieve the RDF group number from the symdg show command.
