Manual Install Method
NOTE: Before installing the hotfix, you must take
all service groups offline on all systems in the cluster.
1. Download the hotfix files to a temporary location
on your cluster system.
2. Double-click on
VCS_86803b_hotfix_244705.exe. All files and folders will be extracted to
the specified location.
3. Save your current configuration.
4. Verify the cluster is in a consistent state by
typing "hasys -state" at the command prompt.
Note: All systems should be in a RUNNING
state.
5. At the command-prompt, type "hasys
-display".
Note: Make sure the value of the attribute
ConfigDiskState is CURRENT for all systems.
6. If the cluster had VCSNT HOTFIX # 121-4, 121-6, or
82163 installed, proceed to step 7. If the cluster did not have VCSNT HOTFIX #
121-4, 121-6, or 82163 installed, do the following:
a. Delete the existing PrintShare service groups.
b. Run the executable ModifyTypes.bat.
This updates the existing PrintShare and PrintSpool resource types in your
configuration file Types.cf.
7. Stop the VERITAS High Availability Daemon (had) by
typing "hastop -all" at the command prompt.
NOTE: VCS CLUSTERED APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES WILL
NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE.
8. From the downloaded hotfix files, copy the
\bin and \Templates directories at the path %VCS_HOME%\ on the
system.
The variable %VCS_HOME% is the default installation
directory for VCS, typically C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Cluster Server.
9. Stop the DiskRes driver by typing the following
command: "net stop rsrvscsi"
10. Copy the file %VCS_HOME%\bin\DiskRes\rsrvscsi.sys
to %windir%\system32\drivers. This will overwrite the previous version of the
driver.
11. Shut the system down.
12. Repeat step 8 through step 11 on all systems in
the cluster. After you have installed the hotfix on all systems, reboot them
one by one.
KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HOTFIX: To uninstall
VCS after installing this hotfix, you must run the HFUpdate utility on all
systems that are part of a PrintShare service group. To run the utility, type
the following at the command-prompt: "HFUpdate".
You can then run the VCS uninstaller to uninstall VCS.
