SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ----------------------------- NONE SUMMARY OF FIXED ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- PATCH ID:6.0.400.000 3254691 (3090229) AMF driver panics the node when vxconfigd is unresponsive. 3254694 (3097342) AMF driver panics the node when AMF is being stopped. 3267240 (3259682) If vxconfigd hangs, then registration thread of imfd trying to get diskgroup status from vxconfigd also hangs. Therefore, the amfregister command waiting for IMFD gets stuck. 3302587 (3302589) VCS support for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3 SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- NONE KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- NONE FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:6.0.400.000 * INCIDENT NO:3254691 TRACKING ID:3090229 SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the node when vxconfigd is unresponsive. DESCRIPTION: The libusnp_vxnotify.so library used for disk group notifications, goes into an infinite loop when vxconfigd daemon is unresponsive. This causes AMF to enter an inconsistent state as a result of which AMF driver panics the node. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the AMF driver and libusnp_vxnotify.so library, to address this issue. * INCIDENT NO:3254694 TRACKING ID:3097342 SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the node when AMF is being stopped. DESCRIPTION: When AMF driver is being stopped, it stops the IMFD daemon. The code to handle this sleeps while holding a lock. This causes AMF driver to panic the node. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the AMF driver to fix this issue. * INCIDENT NO:3267240 TRACKING ID:3259682 SYMPTOM: Imf registrations for disk group resources fail. DESCRIPTION: If vxconfigd is unresponsive, then IMFD becomes unresponsive and imf registrations fail for disk group resources. Subsequent attempts to unconfigure AMF will also fail. RESOLUTION: The IMFD code is modified to fix this hang. * INCIDENT NO:3302587 TRACKING ID:3302589 SYMPTOM: Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) does not support SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3 DESCRIPTION: VCS supported SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 upto Service Pack 2. SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3 was not supported. RESOLUTION: VCS now supports SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 3.
