DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:
Patch ID: 6.0.300.200
* 3302204 (Tracking ID: 3302091)
SYMPTOM:
VCS/SFRAC could not come up after reboot on Solaris 11.
DESCRIPTION:
The fencing module could not come up as it's add_drv command from
fencing init script failed. The command failed due to another module's add_drv
was running at very same time. This can happen to any VCS/SFRAC kernel module as
these modules call add_drv in respective init scripts. This will cause race of
different add_drv commands for different module.
RESOLUTION:
To resolve this, Two new SMF services are created for simulating
postinstall and preremove operations. The add_drv command was moved out of start
script and moved in to postinstall of the module. The rem_drv was moved from
stop script to preremove operation. These changes made for the VRTSllt, VRTSgab,
VRTSvxfen and VRTSdbac packages.

INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
Before installing VRTSgab-6.0.300.200 on a Solaris 11 host, you can optionally create a boot environment (BE) and install VRTSgab-6.0.300.200 on the new BE. Doing this makes it easier to revert to the current version of VRTSgab if required in future.
To create a new boot environment, perform steps 1-4 below on each node.
1. Identify the active boot environment (BE) by looking at the NR tag:
# beadm list
2. Create a new boot environment:
# beadm create <new_BE_name>
where <new_BE_name> is any valid name not listed in step 1.
Example:
# beadm create sfha_gab
3. Activate the newly-created boot environment:
# beadm activate <new_BE_name>
4. Reboot the node so that the new boot environment is active:
# reboot
* To apply the patch manually, perform the steps listed below on each node in the cluster.
1. Save the configuration:
# haconf -dump
2. Stop VCS, vxfen, gab:
# hastop -local -force
# svcadm disable -s vxfen
# svcadm disable -s gab
(Stop all the dependent services of GAB before stopping GAB)
3. Apply the gab patch by issuing the following commands:
a. Set the publisher
# pkg set-publisher -p <patch_file_pathname> Symantec
e.g:
# pkg set-publisher -p /hotfix_dir/patches/VRTSgab.p5p Symantec
b. Install the package
# pkg install --accept --no-backup-be VRTSgab
4. Verify that the new patch is installed. The output of the following command should display the version for VRTSgab package as 6.0.300.200:
# pkg info VRTSgab
5. Start gab and all its dependent services:
# svcadm enable -s gab
# svcadm enable -s vxfen
# hastart
etc.
REMOVING THE PATCH
------------------
On Solaris 11, patch removal is not supported. If you created a new boot environment before installing the new VRTSgab package, you can revert to the boot environment which was in effect prior to that installation.
* To revert to previous boot environment, perform steps 1-3 below on each cluster node.
1. Activate the boot environment which was in effect prior to installing this patch (noted in step 1 of 'To create a new boot environment' above):
# beadm activate <prev_BE_name>
2. Reboot the node so that the new boot environment takes effect:
# reboot
3. (optional) If you have no further use for the boot environment on which you installed the patch, you may destroy it:
# beadm destroy <new_BE_name>
Example:
# beadm destroy sfha_gab
If you did not create a new boot environment, you must uninstall the version of VRTSgab included in this patch and then re-install the prior version of the package (6.0.300.0) from original source media.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------
You need to install VRTSllt-6.0.300.100 and VRTSvxfen-6.0.300.100 patches with this patch. If you have SFRAC, VRTSdbac-6.0.100.100 patch need to be installed in addition to the patches mentioned above.
