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

Patch ID: 8.0.0.200

* 4065168 (Tracking ID: 4065169)

SYMPTOM:
The product installer fails to upgrade the VRTSveki package from the base Infoscale version.

DESCRIPTION:
This issue occurs because the product installer does not stop the veki service before it upgrades the base version of its package to a patched version.

RESOLUTION:
The InfoScale product installer is enhanced to stop the veki service before an upgrade so that the patch is installed successfully.

* 4065279 (Tracking ID: 4065280)

SYMPTOM:
The product installer uninstalls the VRTSrest package during an upgrade from the base InfoScale version to a InfoScale patch bundle.

DESCRIPTION:
The base VRTSrest package version (2.0.0.0000) is not defined in the installer scripts. Therefore, the product installer incorrectly assumes the base VRTSrest version to be 8.0.0.0000 and uninstalls the VRTSrest package that has the version 2.0.0.0000.

RESOLUTION:
The product installer scripts are updated to define the correct VRTSrest base version.

* 4068297 (Tracking ID: 4068298)

SYMPTOM:
Installer fails to configure the REST server while using the -rest_server option.

DESCRIPTION:
Installer fails to configure the REST server on the running cluster from any node other than node0 and the following error message is displayed - CPI ERROR V-9-20-1072 Failed to copy <<log directory>>/rest_server.sh from <<system name>> to <<log directory>>/rest_server.sh on <<system name>>. 
When the installer is invoked on any node in the cluster other than node0 to configure the REST server, installer tries to copy 'rest_server.sh' from node0 to to that node. 'rest_server.sh' is not generated on node0, causing the installer to fail.

RESOLUTION:
Installer does not copy 'rest_server.sh' from one node to another as installer needs to execute 'rest_server.sh' on node0 only.
