SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
Patch ID: Hotfix_6_0_20001_3314655
* 3314655 (3314655) In a network using tagged VLAN configuration, the VCS IP agent may assign the virtual IP address or the virtual server name to an incorrect network interface, if the interfaces have same MAC address.


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

Patch ID: Hotfix_6_0_20001_3314655

* 3314655 (Tracking ID: 3314655)

SYMPTOM:
In a network using tagged VLAN configuration, the VCS IP agent may assign the virtual IP address or the virtual server name to an incorrect network interface, if the interfaces have same MAC address.

DESCRIPTION:
In tagged VLAN network configurations; there are multiple independent logical network interfaces that are created within a physical network interface or a teamed network interface. Each of these logical network interfaces may have the same MAC address.
During the application service group configuration, the VCS application configuration wizard enables you to provide the virtual IP address or the virtual server name for the application to be configured. The wizard also enables you  to select an interface to which the specified virtual IP address or the virtual server name should be assigned.
After you select the required interface, the wizard internally sets the MAC address of the selected interface as the value of the "MACAddress" attribute of the IP agent. While selecting the interface, if you choose any of the logical interfaces that share the MAC address with other logical interfaces, then the IP agent may assign the specified virtual IP address or the virtual server name to an interface other than the one selected.
This issue occurs because the IP agent uses the MAC address of the interface to identify and assign the IP address. Since the MAC address of all the logical interfaces is identical, the agent may fail to identify the selected interface and as a result assign the IP address or virtual server name to an incorrect interface.

RESOLUTION:
The IP agent currently uses the MAC address specified in the "MACAddress" attribute to identify the interface to which the IP address should be assigned. The agent is now enhanced to use either the MAC address or the interface name as the parameters to identify the interface.
To identify the interface based on its name, you must edit the x93MACAddressx94 attribute of the IP agent, after you configure the application service group. 
Use the VCS Java Console to edit the x93MACAddressx94 attribute and enter the interface name instead of the MAC address. You must enter the interface name in double quotes.
For example, 
MACAddress = x93InterfaceNamex94

Notes:
- After you specify the interface name as the x93MACAddressx94 attribute value, if you want to use the VCS wizards to modify any settings, then you must first reset the value of the x93MACAddressx94 attribute to use the MAC address of the interface.
Failing this, the VCS wizard may fail to identify and populate the selected interface. 
Use the VCS Java Console to edit the attribute values.

- If you change the interface name, you must update the x93MACAddressx94 attribute value to specify the new name. 
Failing this, the IP resource will go in an UNKNOWN state.

- While editing the x93MACAddressx94 attribute to specify the interface name, you must specify the name of only one interface.

Binary File / Version:

INSTALLING THE PATCH
--------------------
To install the hotfix using the GUI
-----------------------------------+
Perform the following steps on all the cluster nodes:

To install the hotfix using the command line
--------------------------------------------+
Perform the following steps on all the cluster nodes:

1. At the command prompt run one of the following commands to extract the hotfix files to the default location:
C:	emp> <HotfixName_Platform.exe>  /x
or
C:	emp> <HotfixName_Platform.exe>  /extract

2. From the command prompt, navigate to the following location where the hotfix files are extracted.
"%commonprogramfiles(x86)%Veritas  SharedWxRTPrivates<HotfixName> "

3. At the command prompt, run the following command to install the hotfix:
vxhf.exe /install:<HotfixName>  /silent
Here, <HotfixName>  is the name of the hotfix file without the platform and the .exe extension.

4. Follow the instructions displayed in the command prompt to complete the hotfix installation.


REMOVING THE PATCH
