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

Patch ID: 6.0.1.1100

* 2984386 (Tracking ID: 3248893)

SYMPTOM:
If the Solaris 10 kernel patch is Update 10, the installer fails to 
detect the OS update level and issues the below warning message:
WARNING V-9-40-3995 Solaris 10 Update 6 is installed on <system>. It is strongly 
recommended to install Solaris 10 Update 8 or later.

DESCRIPTION:
When 6.0.1 was released, Solaris 10 u10 haven't been published. The installer
needs to support the latest kernel version during the pre-check procedure.

RESOLUTION:
It has been fixed and the installer supports Solaris 10 u10 now.

* 3125432 (Tracking ID: 3125494)

SYMPTOM:
CPI fails with an error message while installing the product on a machine with BIOS vendor QEMU.

DESCRIPTION:
If you have BIOS vendor QEMU, CPI reports 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" 
The error message is displayed because of improper handling of QEMU.

RESOLUTION:
The CPI script is modified to handle vendor information such as QEMU.

* 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. 
After the failure, the installer reports the following error message:
CPI ERROR V-9-30-1446 
The following required OS commands are missing on system:
/usr/sbin/nslookup: No such file or directory.

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 checklist.

* 3294945 (Tracking ID: 3295841)

SYMPTOM:
When the user installs 6.0.1_P4.pl or 6.0.3_P6.pl with ssh or rsh
options enabled, the following error occurs:

  Checking system communication CPI ERROR V-9-0-0

1 thread 1 threw error: Can't locate object method "arch_sys" via 
package "Padv::" (perhaps you forgot to load "Padv::"?) 
at /opt/VRTSperl/lib/site_perl/UXRT60/EDR/EDR/systems.pm line 102.

DESCRIPTION:
During an installation process, when the rsh or the ssh command is
invoked, the command verifies the state of each node to check if it is
available. If the ssh or the rsh option is enabled, the existing diagnostic
method for a connection fails.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified such that the $sys->{banner} is not enabled while testing
the ssh/rsh connection.

* 3298901 (Tracking ID: 3304955)

SYMPTOM:
The installer blocks upgrading the product to 6.0.1 if Veritas Cluster Server
(VCS) is not configured.

DESCRIPTION:
Some users have Storage Foundation and High Availability (SFHA) product
installed, but only with Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) configured and running. In
this case, the installer blocks upgrading the whole product because VCS is not
configured.

RESOLUTION:
Use the hot fix provided to upgrade the whole product.

* 3307508 (Tracking ID: 3309409)

SYMPTOM:
During the installation of SFHA 6.0.1 in Solaris 10 Update 11, the CPI installer
displays the following warning messages:
"The following warnings were discovered on the systems:
CPI WARNING V-9-40-3995 Solaris 10 Update 6 is installed. It is 
strongly recommended to install Solaris 10 Update 8 or later."

DESCRIPTION:
148888-03 is the Solaris 10 Update 11 kernel patch ID, which was released in
January 2013. Since 6.0.1 was released before January 2013, it is not able to
recognize the correct operating system version for Solaris 10.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to support Solaris 10 Update 11.

* 3360781 (Tracking ID: 3355748)

SYMPTOM:
Upgrading VCS from 5.0MP3RP5 to 6.0.1 with SG containing multiple zones throws 
CPI errors

CPI ERROR V-9-40-3737 In the file '/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf' on 
sprsv480b7-09, the ContainerName and ContainerType value of all resources in 
group
'SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG' are not consistent :
    SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG   app-zone2-res  ContainerName  tstzone2
    SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG   app-zone2-res  ContainerType  Zone
    SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG   app-zone1-res  ContainerName  tstzone1
    SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG   app-zone1-res  ContainerType  Zone
CPI ERROR V-9-40-3738 In the file '/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf' on 
sprsv480b7-09, the group 'SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG' contains more than 1 Zone :
    SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG   Zone Name tstzone1
    SAP-HAWKER-ITE1-SG   Zone Name tstzone2

DESCRIPTION:
Since 6.0.1 VCS provide specific customer a hotfix to support multiple zones(via 
a new attribute ResContainerInfo in resource level) in a single service group as 
it's supported prior to 5.1. However CPI wasn't required to support this design 
change. So when the setup in such case upgrade from versions prior to 5.1 to 
6.x, CPI throw error and bail out.

RESOLUTION:
Add the ResContainerInfo support for upgrading from versions prior to 5.1 to 6.x 
to support multiple zones in a single service group.

* 3390290 (Tracking ID: 3542842)

SYMPTOM:
The Symantec Product Installer attempts to start the vxconfigd daemon before 
upgrade, which leads to data corruption.

DESCRIPTION:
In Volume Manager (VxVM), while upgrading from 5.1SP1 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 
5.1SP1RP3, the LUNs over 1 Terabyte(TB) in size encounter data corruption.
TechNote: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?
page=content&id=TECH188018
 
During upgrade from 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2, or 5.1SP1RP3 to 6.0 release, 
the Symantec Product Installer attempts to start vxconfigd daemon before 
upgrade which leads to data corruption.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to prevent the vxconfigd daemon from getting started while 
upgrading from 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 5.1SP1RP2 or 5.1SP1RP3.

* 3448379 (Tracking ID: 3471289)

SYMPTOM:
CPI tries to stop vxglm even though Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) is online.

DESCRIPTION:
During a rolling upgrade, CPI stops CVM, and then it stops vxglm. But if a CVM
service group is frozen, CVM will fail to stop, but CPI still tries to stop
vxglm, and this causes a system panic.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to block the rolling upgrade going further if vxglm is
being used.

* 3465678 (Tracking ID: 3472265)

SYMPTOM:
The installvcs script cannot set the heartbeat NIC name to be "L_101".

DESCRIPTION:
The Symantec product installer assumes the network interface name should not
include "_".

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to remove the limitation that network interface name should
not include "_".

* 3658197 (Tracking ID: 3658195)

SYMPTOM:
In previous release, if users install SFHA on RHEL 6.6, the package VRTSvxvm will fail to install.

DESCRIPTION:
Since RHEL 6.6 is released, SFHA now supports it with branches including 
6.0.1/6.0.5/6.1/6.1.1. Installer needs to change the notification to guide 
customers to find corresponding patches.

RESOLUTION:
Installer notifies customers to download Symantec product patches when they 
install SFHA on RHEL 6.6.
