Hello Frankgfan:
I have opened a Case with Veritas support. They told me the following information about this patch:
"
The CPI patch is a component of the InfoScale product suite. It is responsible for upgrading the installer file used for installing or upgrading InfoScale products, such as Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) or Veritas Storage Foundation (SF).
The CPI patch does not directly upgrade the product rpms or binaries. Instead, it focuses on updating the installer file itself, ensuring that the installation or upgrade process is smooth and efficient. By applying the latest CPI patch, you can benefit from any bug fixes, enhancements, or improvements made to the installer, which ultimately enhances the overall installation experience.
It is recommended to use latest installer CPI patch always for any deployment operation to include fixes released after the particular Infoscale release
In summary, the CPI patch plays a crucial role in keeping the installer file up to date, ensuring a seamless installation or upgrade process for InfoScale products.
However, we have used the latest CPI patch along with the installer to initiate the services effectively.
We used below command to start the infoscale services along with CPI patch.
# /opt/VRTS/install/installer -start -require /software/CPI/patches/CPI.pl file
"
I hope this information could be usefull.
I appreciate your help and consideration regarding this topic.
Best regards
Oolmedo
Thanks very much sharing the info.
If "The CPI patch does not directly upgrade the product rpms or binaries. Instead, it focuses on updating the installer file itself," the patch readme file patch install instruction should be made more specific and more easy for user to follow. Also the patch install errors should be made more clear and meaningful.
Anyway, if the issue is now resolved, please go a head to close this ticket.
