(from 109688-02)
Patch preinstall and postinstall scripts modified to prevent DMP from
being partially re-enabled after patch installation.
 
(from 109688-01)
After investigating the problem of missing I/Os it was found that if
too many I/Os are active on a mirrored volume with DRL, some of the I/Os
are deferred to a per volume DRL retry queue.  Even after resources are
available, the retry queue was not being processed until either all I/O
issued to the volume completed or a new I/O was issued to the same volume.
This can lead to a situation where new I/Os are not sent pending
completion of pending I/Os and pending I/Os won't be processed until
another I/O comes in for the same volume.  This has been fixed by
processing pending I/O in the retry queue of all volumes whenever
resources become available.
 
It was found that DMP was using the device information that it had
obtained before any DR operation took place.  After a DR operation, the
device information is no longer valid and has to be re-obtained.

Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
For Solaris 7 and 8 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions on
using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
        example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
        example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
If this is a new VM installation with A5K array connected, please follow
this process:
    a) Install (pkgadd) VM 3.0.4
    b) Run vxinstall
    c) Install (patchadd) VM 3.0.4 patch 5.  
 
If this is a new VM installaltion but has no A5K array connected, you can
apply both VM 3.0.4 and VM 3.0.4 patch 5 befor running vxinstall.
 
If the system already has VM 3.0.4, then you can simply apply VM 3.0.4
patch 5 as instructed.
 
Reboot the system after patch installation.
