Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
For Solaris 7 or 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:
----------------------------- 
The only purpose of this patch is for users running on Solaris 8 or
in the process of upgrading to Solaris 8.
 
User's with Veritas installed need to pay special attention to the
Veritas and A3x00/A1000 FIN's and documentation concerning upgrade 
procedures.  Inattention could render your system unbootable.
 
The current version of firmware included in RM 6.22, 03.01.02.xx.apd,
and 03.01.03.xx.bwd needs to be installed (downloaded) into all the
arrays before loading this patch unless later firmware is already loaded.
The firmware in this patch needs to be loaded before the actually using
the arrays.  All arrays connected to the host where this patch is installed
must be the same firmware level.
 
If you are just installing Solaris 8, then use these guidelines:
Case 1: Installation of patch 108553 after a full initial install of
        Solaris 8
 
    full initial install of Solaris 8
    install RM6.22
    install patch 108553
    install fw in patch
    boot -r
    If you have existing A3x00/A1000 LUNs other than zero:
      genscsiconf
      hot_add
      boot -r
    endif
 
Case 2: Installation of patch 108553 after upgrade install of Solaris 8
 
    upgrade install Solaris 8
    boot -r
    If you don't have RM 6.22
       install RM 6.22 and patch 108553
       install fw in patch
       boot -r
    else
       install patch 108553
       install fw in patch
    endif
    genscsiconf
    hot_add
    boot -r
