    Hi Danish,

    Yes, you need to stop GAB, Fencing & LLT all 3 of them will be upgraded to latest version.

    After doing hastop -local (this will stop HAD)

    you need to stop fencing first. To do this,

    /etc/init.d/vxfen stop

    modinfo |grep -i vxfen   (if you find module loaded)

    modunload -i <module_id>

    Then stop GAB

    /etc/init.d/gab stop  (this is same as doing gabconfig -U)

    modinfo |grep -i gab   (if you find module loaded)

    modunload -i <module_id>

    /etc/init.d/llt stop  (this is same as doing lltconfig -U)

    modinfo |grep -i llt   (if you find module loaded)

    modunload -i <module_id>

    For Solaris 10, you can use svcadm commands to offline the particular service. However I would still recommend to keep checking modules using modinfo command & unload any module before you stop the next component. Your order of shutting down should be

    1.HAD

    2. Vxfen

    3. GAB

    4. LLT

How do i stop GAB & LLT services.

 

# /sbin/gabconfig -U
# /sbin/lltconfig -U
            
Unload the GAB and LLT modules from the kernel.
Determine the kernel module IDs:

  # modinfo | grep gab
  # modinfo | grep llt
                    
Unload the module from the kernel:

  # modunload -i gab_id
  # modunload -i llt_id
                  

how do i temporarily stop HAD,GAB & LLT to come online after each reboot.

# /usr/sbin/svcadm disable llt
# /usr/sbin/svcadm disable gab
# /usr/sbin/svcadm disable vcs

 

My understanding of 'The script cannot remove patches...' is that the script can only install patches, it cannot later be used again should you wish to remove any of the MP2 installed by the install_vp script at a later stage.
