PATCH UNINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: ---------------------------------- Please refer to the Release Notes for Installation and Uninstallation Instructions. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- Sun introduced a page ordering vnode optimization in Solaris 9 and 10. The optimization includes a new vnode flag, VMODSORT, which when turned on indicates that the Virtual Memory (VM) should maintain the v_pages list in an order depending on if a page is modified or unmodified. Veritas File System (VxFS) can now take advantage of that flag, which can result in significant performance improvements on operations that depend on flushing,such as fsync. This optimization requires the fixes for Sun BugID's 6393251 and 6538758 which are included in the Solaris kernel patch listed below. Enabling VxFS VMODSORT functionality without the correct OS kernel patches can result in data corruption. Required operating system patches: (Solaris 9 SPARC) 122300-11 (or greater) dependent patches: 112233-12 117171-17 118558-39 To enable VxFS VMODSORT functionality, the following linemust be added to the /etc/system file after the vxfs forceload: set vxfs:vx_vmodsort SUMMARY OF FIXED ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- 2608568 Abrupt messages are seen in engine log after complete storage failure in cvm resiliency scenario. SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- 2689195 vxfsckd daemon is not getting joined/restarted after manual killing. KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- * INCIDENT NO::2689195 TRACKING ID ::2720034 SYMPTOM:: vxfsckd resource not coming up when reboot a node in cluster/killed vxfsckd, faulted cvm services. WORKAROUND:: Following commands need to be used when above situation arises hastop -local rm /var/adm/cfs/vxfsckd-pid kill all vxfsckd processes fsclustadm cfsdeinit hastart FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:148458-01 * INCIDENT NO:2608568 TRACKING ID:2663750 SYMPTOM: Incorrect remote notifications are given on local disk connectivity lost/restore event for disks with same pattern as that of actual disk for which event has occurred. DESCRIPTION: When local disk connectivity is restored/lost for a disk, in addition to correct notification for a disk cvmvoldg agent will also log wrong notifications in VCS engine log for disks having similar pattern though there is no change in connectivity on those disks. RESOLUTION:In cvmvoldg agent, local disk connectivity events (restore/lost) are now checked with exact match before reporting. INCIDENTS FROM OLD PATCHES: --------------------------- NONE
