Installation Procedure:
=======================

If the currently installed VRTSvxvm is below 5.0.1.0 level, you 
must upgrade VRTSvxvm to 5.0.1.0 level before installing this patch.

AIX maintenance levels and APARs can be downloaded from the 
IBM web site:

	http://techsupport.services.ibm.com


1. Since the patch process will configure the new kernel extensions,
ensure that no VxVM volumes are in use or open or mounted before  
starting the installation procedure

2. Use the installp or Smit to install the patch image.

   Using installp:

   0. Before applying this patch, please kill the vxsvc process:

        /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl stop

   1. To apply this patch, use following command.

        installp -ag -d ./VRTSvxvm.05.00.0001.0020.bff VRTSvxvm

   2. To apply and commit this patch, use following command

        installp -acg -d ./VRTSvxvm.05.00.0001.0020.bff VRTSvxvm

   NOTE: Please refer installp(1M) man page for clear understanding
   on APPLY & COMMIT state of the package/patch.

   Using Smit:

        Software Installation and Maintenance ->
        Install and Update Software ->
        Update Installed Software to Latest Level

   3. Reboot the system after the installation is complete. 


Deinstallation Procedure:
=========================

If patch installation is in "APPLY" state, patch image can be rejected
or deinstalled. For rejecting the patch image, please use following
command

     installp -r VRTSvxvm 5.0.1.20

This command will reject/deinstall the VRTSvxvm 5.0.1.20(MP1 RP2) patch.
Patch contents cannot be rejected/deinstalled if it is in COMMITed state.
Note that rejecting the patch will stop the vxconfigd(1M) (VxVM configuration
Daemon). Please start vxconfigd manually or reboot the system.

NOTE: Please refer SF 5.0 Installation Guide for AIX minimum level
requirements. 


Incidents fixed in 5.0mp1rp2 patch:

1) Incident e1034736 
	Need to change dmp_get_path_state() to only check for write protection for Symmetrix arrays

        To move the disks to online state, you have to run the command,
        vxdisk 鈥揼 <dgname>  updateudid  <diskname> for disks with disk group
                                    or
