 Patch Id::PHKL_42252


 * Incident no::2400485	 Tracking ID ::2400473

 Symptom::When the Veritas fencing module (VxFEN) starts, it may encounter issues in
reading coordination point information. VxFEN may display an error such as:
V-11-2-1036 Unable to configure VxFEN since daemon failed to talk to the driver.
The user mode process that processes coordination point information may abort.
If you then try to configure the driver in another fencing mode, VxFEN displays
the following error:
V-11-2-1050 Mismatched modes on local node and running cluster.
Unable to configure vxfen

 Description::The problem occurs because the variable that tracks the fencing mode is
incorrectly passed from the user land configuration files to the VxFEN kernel
driver.

 Resolution::Symantec has modified the VxFEN kernel driver to properly reset the fencing mode
variables when it receives an error from the user land.

 * Incident no::2426663	 Tracking ID ::2426659

 Symptom::If you run the 'vxfenswap' command to change the fencing mode from 'customized'
to 'scsi3', the vxfend process continues to run.

 Description::The kernel driver of the Veritas fencing module (VxFEN) starts the vxfend
process only when VxFEN is configured in a customized mode. However, when you
change the fencing mode to 'scsi3', the VxFEN kernel driver fails to terminate
the vxfend process.

 Resolution::Symantec has modified the VxFEN kernel driver to appropriately terminate the
vxfend process.
