Installation Procedure:
=======================

If the currently installed VRTSvxvm is below 5.0.1.0 level,you
must upgrade VRTSvxvm to 5.0.1.0 level before installing this patch.

AIX maintenance levels and APARs can be downloaded from the
IBM web site:

      http://techsupport.services.ibm.com


1. Since the patch process will configure the new kernel extensions,
ensure that no VxVM volumes are in use or open or mounted before  
starting the installation procedure

2. Use the installp or Smit to install the patch image.

  Using installp:

  0. Before applying this patch, please kill the vxsvc process:

       /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl stop

  1. To apply this patch, use following command.

       installp -ag -d ./VRTSvxvm.05.00.0001.0030.bff VRTSvxvm

  2. To apply and commit this patch, use following command

       installp -acg -d ./VRTSvxvm.05.00.0001.0030.bff VRTSvxvm

  NOTE: Please refer installp(1M) man page for clear understanding
  on APPLY & COMMIT state of the package/patch.

  Using Smit:

       Software Installation and Maintenance ->
       Install and Update Software ->
       Update Installed Software to Latest Level

  3. Reboot the system after the installation is complete.


Deinstallation Procedure:
=========================

If patch installation is in "APPLY" state, patch image can be rejected
or deinstalled. For rejecting the patch image, please use following
command

    installp -r VRTSvxvm 5.0.1.30

This command will reject/deinstall the VRTSvxvm 5.0.1.30(MP1 RP3) patch.
Patch contents cannot be rejected/deinstalled if it is in COMMITed state.
Note that rejecting the patch will stop the vxconfigd(1M) (VxVM configuration
Daemon). Please start vxconfigd manually or reboot the system.

NOTE: Please refer SF 5.0 Installation Guide for AIX minimum level
requirements.
