This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents:

PATCH ID:HF050001961-40

 * INCIDENT NO:3293246	 TRACKING ID:3300084

SYMPTOM: VOM does not show cluster name and disk group 

DESCRIPTION: If the managed host has luns assigned from STK 6580 arrays, vxlist returns very slow and this causes SF discovery to misbehave and not report the data correctly 

RESOLUTION: The vdid support for STK 6580 array was not present causing the dcli make vdid calls every time stat collection was run. 
This caused thread build up in the dclid process causing vxlist request to be serviced late. The support is added and now the issue is resolved. 

 * INCIDENT NO:3298345	 TRACKING ID:3345210

SYMPTOM: vxlist runs slow and takes a long time to complete 

DESCRIPTION: vxlist cli after sometime, does not return the o/p quickly if the managed host has luns from STK 6580 arrays assigned to it. 

RESOLUTION: The vdid support for STK 6580 array was not present causing the dcli make vdid calls every time stat collection was run. 
This caused thread build up in the dclid process causing vxlist request to be serviced late. The support is added and now the issue is resolved. 

 * INCIDENT NO:3346878	 TRACKING ID:3370321

SYMPTOM: Local filesystem shows multiple servers. 

DESCRIPTION: For cloned Linux VMs, as the LV UUIDs were same for multiple VMs, we do see that the volumes tab as well as the file systems tab shows multiple hosts on VOM. 

RESOLUTION: Issue is fixed by appending hostguid to LV UUID and VG UUID. This would eventually result into unique LV UUIDS for all the hosts.
