Description

Error Message

 

Cause

This was due to the SLIC API having a dependency on the /opt/Veritas directory

Resolution

This dependency has been removed in recent sig_licensing patches and this change was also included in InfoScale 7.4.1u4 and the recent InfoScale 7.4.2 patches.  Once the patch has been installed the /opt/Veritas directory can be removed.
