Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
There are three (3) possible procedures for installing patches on Sun
Cluster 3.1.  The proper method to use and any additional instructions,
for this patch are specified below in the "Special Install Instructions"
section.
 
Refer to the chapter entitled "Patching Sun Cluster Software and
Firmware" in the "Sun Cluster 3.1 System Administration Guide" for a
description of the different install processes and instructions on how
to install Sun Cluster 3.1 patches.
 
Refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and
'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris, to install and remove patches.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
1. Before applying the patch, disable the HA-Oracle fault monitor.
 
2. To install, use the patch install procedure for a
   "Non Rebooting Sun Cluster Patch" as described in the "Patching
   Sun Cluster Software and Firmware" chapter of the "Sun Cluster 3.1
   System Administration Guide".
 
   4751451 4900140 and 4902949
   ---------------------------
 
   To get a complete fix for these bugs, you must upgrade the
   SUNW.oracle_listener resource type after applying this patch.
   For information about upgrading the SUNW.oracle_listener resource
   type, see Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle Guide for Solaris OS.
 
   To back out the patch and roll back to the earlier version of the
   resource type, you must downgrade the resource type after removing
   the patch. For information about downgrading a resource type, see
   Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for
   Solaris OS.
 
3. Enable the HA-Oracle fault monitor after the patch installation
   is complete.
 
-----------------------------
 
 
NOTE1: To get the complete fix for bug 4970501 you must either upgrade
       the SunCluster framework to SC3.1 Update 3 or install SunCluster
       framework Core patch 117949-01 or newer.
       This is because the RAC manageability features require the fix
       for 4340165 RFE: support inter-group resource dependencies.
