Usage notes:

Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
For Solaris 7-8 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:
----------------------------- 
- restart all HPC CT daemons via:
	/opt/SUNWhpc/HPC5.0/sbin/ctstopd ...
	<install this patch>
	/opt/SUNWhpc/HPC5.0/sbin/ctstartd ...
 
- See FIN #: I0997-1 for information about running MPI jobs with a large
  number of processes (>1000).
 
- To have HPC ClusterTool 5.0 be completely fixed when working with
  the Sun Fire Link interconnect the following patches must be applied:
 
    Solaris 8
 
    111796-04  (or newer)
    108528-11 (or newer)
    112077-07 (or newer)
    113656-04 (or newer)
    113655-03 (or newer)
    110934-10 (or newer)
 
    Solaris 9
 
    113024-07 (or newer)
    112233-06 (or newer)
    113713-03 (or newer)
    114233-03 (or newer)
    115498-01 (or newer)
 
- On large Sun Fire Link cluster configurations consisting of 4 nodes
  or greater the timeout for the Sun Fire Link needs to be increased.
  Please add or change the value listed below in the /etc/system file
  of the nodes utilizing the Sun Fire Link:
 
    set wrsm:wrsm_tl_rpc_timeout=0x989680
 
  A reboot of the domain is required for this change to take effect.
 
 
- Before applying this patch shutdown the CT daemons.
      On all nodes (including master) as root:
      # /opt/SUNWhpc/bin/Install_Utilities/bin/ctstopd -l
 
      Alternatively you can use the -n or -N options to shutdown
      the daemons from one node.
 
   Apply patch on all nodes.
 
   Restart the daemons after applying the patch.
      On all nodes (including master) as root:
      # /opt/SUNWhpc/bin/Install_Utilities/bin/ctstartd -l
