Removing Previous Licensing Packages

If you add the VRTSvlic package and see the following message, you must first remove the existing

VRTSvlic package:

Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <VRTSvlic> package be created.

However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on

the same system has already been met.

Step 1. De-install the old package.

Step 2. During de-install, if you see the following message, enter y:

WARNING: The VRTSvxfs package depends on the package currently being removed. Dependency

checking failed.

Do you want to continue with the removal of this package [y,n,?,q]

Step 3. Use swinstall to install the latest VRTSvlic package.

NOTE VRTSvxfs does not lose its package dependency when the latest VRTSvlic is installed later in this

process.

The system prints out a series of status messages as the installation progresses. No errors should be

reported, and the process takes about five minutes.
