Error Message

# showrev -p | grep 143288-04
Patch: 143288-04 Obsoletes:  Requires:  Incompatibles:  Packages: VRTSvcsag

Cause

If hotfixes are installed on top of RP1, they have to be first removed before running the uninstallrp script (to rollback to 5.1SP1). If hotfixes are installed for VRTSvxfs and VRTSvcsag packages, uninstallrp will rollback all other packages to 5.1SP1.  VRTSvxfs will stay at 5.1SP1RP1HF5 and VRTSvcsag will stay at 5.1SP1RP1HF7.

Resolution

1. Uninstall all the hotfixes that were installed on top of 5.1SP1RP1 using patchrm command:
# patchrm 143288-11

2. After all the HFs are removed, run the uninstallrp command to rollback to 5.1SP1.

 

Applies To

Storage Foundation  HA  5.1SP1RP1

The problem is fixed in 5.1SP1RP2 and later releases.
