This occurs because VERITAS SANPoint Foundation Suite
HA (SPFS-HA) is not installed from the certified point product/patch bundles and
VRTSglm is not patched with 110436-02. If SPFS-HA is installed from the
certified point product/patch bundles, the above error shouldn't appear, even
without the VRTSglm patch. It is not recommended to upgrade and patch
individual point products to enable clustering functionality, please refer to
technote 234536 for details.
Note the PSTAMP of the package which is not
patched.
