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

Patch ID: 6.0.3.800

* 3112849 (Tracking ID: 3128888)

SYMPTOM:
While validating upgrade procedure with an encapsulated boot disk and the disk
group minoring is already set to 1000, CPI will fail the installation.

DESCRIPTION:
In the case above, CPI will attempt to reminor and then fail the installation
because the vxdg command returns a non-zero exit code.

RESOLUTION:
CPI will not attempt to re-minor if the base minor is already 1000.

* 3113795 (Tracking ID: 3131744)

SYMPTOM:
Timing issue with enabling DMP_native_support interoperability issues with ZFS 
devices

DESCRIPTION:
On Solaris 10, for DMP product, If ZFS zpools are configured prior to upgrading 
6.0.3, if user previously set tunable dmp_native_support=on, it'll take a long 
time for installer to enable dmp_native_support after upgrade.

RESOLUTION:
Installer provide a question asking if user want to enable dmp_native_support 
after upgrade.

* 3124232 (Tracking ID: 3125494)

SYMPTOM:
CPI fails with QEMU undefined when user have bios vendor QEMU.

DESCRIPTION:
If customer have bios vendor QEMU, CPI will report 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\"

RESOLUTION:
CPI replace $padv->QEMU by $padv->VIRT_QEMU in padv.pm.

* 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:
During an installation process with 6.0.1_P4.pl or 6.0.3_P6.pl, when ssh 
banner is enabled, an error will be given:
  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 understand if it is
available to conection. If ssh/rsh banner is enabled, the existing diagnostic 
method for connection will failed.

RESOLUTION:
Installer will not set $sys->{banner} when testing ssh/rsh connection.

* 3307508 (Tracking ID: 3309409)

SYMPTOM:
Installation of SFHA 6.0.1 with CPI hotfix in Solaris 10 Update 11, installer 
gives 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 Solaris 10 Update 11 kernel patch ID which was released January 
2013.While the first CPI HF for 6.0.1 was created last year,  which to support 
Solaris10 U10,  so Solaris 11 Update 11 support was not included.

RESOLUTION:
Add the Solaris 11 Update 11 support to the latest hotfix.
