SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR Tru64 UNIX V5.1 Patch 900.00
It is required that you run the volsave command (/usr/sbin/volsave)
prior to installing this patch.  This patch contains a fix that may result in
incorrectly configured disks that were previously accepted now being rejected.
Running volsave before the upgrade will allow you to easily recover your LSM
configuration in the event of a problem.  While this practice is always
recommended before every upgrade, it is especially important for this upgrade.
Refer to the Tru64 UNIX V5.1 Patch Summary and Release Notes for complete
details.


During the installation of this patch, the lsmsad daemon must be stopped.
This may be accomplished by issuing the command "/usr/sbin/lsmsad -k", while
logged in as root.

This patch provides a script that will allow a user to remove the
directio cloning patch after the version switch has been thrown by running
clu_upgrade -switch in a cluster environment.  The /usr/sbin/clone_versw_undo
script must be run by root in multiuser mode after the directio cloning
patch has been completely rolled in and before another rolling upgrade has
begun. PLEASE NOTE: A system or cluster shutdown will be required to
remove the directio cloning patch. See the Patch Kit Installation
Instructions and the Patch Summary and Release Notes for complete details.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR Tru64 UNIX V5.1 Patch 921.01 
This patch kit contains sys_check version 124.  If you have already
installed the sys_check version 125 web kit or higher then installing
this patch kit will downgrade the version of sys_check that is being
used by the system.  However, you can easily set the system default
version of sys_check to the version that was downloaded from the web by
using the /usr/sbin/use_sys_check script.  For example, type
'use_sys_check 125' at the command line prompt to make sys_check version
125 the system default.

card.  In order to obtain full support for this graphics card, you
must also select Patch 777.00, which is the X server portion of the patch.

If you have a system with this graphics card, you will need to reconfigure

dump_setugid_cores = 0
With this default setting for these tunable attributes, core dumps will still 
be produced by programs, but not by setgid/setuid programs.
