The EULAs for Japanese and Chinese now appear in those language in the following
locations:
The Japanese EULAs appear in /product_dir/EULA/ja/product_eula.pdf
The Chinese EULAs appear in /product_dir/EULA/zh/product_eula.pdf
During product migration the installer overestimates disk space use
(2088827)
The installer displays the space that all the product depots and patches needs.
During migration some depots are already installed and during migration some
depots are removed. This releases disk space. The installer then claims more space
than it actually needs.
Workaround: Run the installer with -nospacecheck option if the disk space is
less than that installer claims but more than actually required.
The VRTSacclib depot is deprecated (2032052)
The VRTSacclib depot is deprecated. For installation, uninstallation, and upgrades,
note the following:
■ Fresh installs: Do not install VRTSacclib.
■ Upgrade: Ignore VRTSacclib.
■ Uninstall: Ignore VRTSacclib.
Installer assigns duplicate node ID during -addnode procedure
While performing an -addnode using a CPI installer to a cluster where a node has
failed, VCS appends the new node with a duplicate node ID of its last node. This
happens only to the cluster in which any but the last node has failed. In this case,
/etc/llthost displays two nodes with same node IDs. This is because VCS assigns
the node ID by simply counting the number of node entries without checking the
assigned node IDs.
Workaround: Instead of running the CPI command, add the new node manually
as described in the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide.
Miscalculated file set usage (2123429)
When file set quotas are enabled, it may be possible for VxFS to get into a state
where it thinks a very large number of blocks are allocated to checkpoints. This
issue can be seen using the fsckptadm command:
# fsckptadm getquotalimit /mnt1
Filesystem hardlimit softlimit usage action_flag
/mnt1 10000 10000 18446744073709551614
