Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the Install.info file for instructions on using the
generic ''installpatch'' and ''backoutpatch'' scripts provided with
each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
Patch 106513-03 must be installed prior to installation
of this patch because it is the RM 6.1.1 jumbo patch.  Starting with
106513-03 there is firmware included therein that must be downloaded 
to make this patch operative.
Once this patch has been installed, the user must do a system boot
(-r argument not required) to insure the new drivers and daemons
are loaded.
The Rdac_RetryCount parameter in rmparams needs to be set to 1 after
this patch has been applied in order to prevent cluster node removal
when RDAC fails a controller.  Note: the default value is 7.
New RDAC rmparams parameters
Rdac_RetryCount:
    Specifies the number of times the RDAC driver/daemon will retry an
    errorred I/O before giving up and returning it to the system. The
    default is 7.
Rdac_NoAltOffline:
    If TRUE, the RDAC daemon will mark a LUN as offline when it gives
    up retrying an I/O and the alternate path is not available. This
    will result in all I/Os to that LUN being errorred immediately
    without retrys.  The default is FALSE which means every I/O will
    be retried Rdac_RetryCount times.
Rdac_Fail_Flag
    This parameter is not new, but will now be used by RDAC in the
    failover routine.  If the flag is FALSE, controllers will not be
    failed, but just made passive.
