When doing vxresize (1M) on a
mirrored volume with DCO version
DCO version 20 configured. Even if the resize does not hang, there is a possibility20 configured, vxconfigd (1M)
might hang. that a panic might occur when taking a snapshot of the volume using the DCO 20
configured. If such behavior occurs, vxconfigd might hang in trying to start up
the mirrored volume involved in subsequent reboots. The behavior is due to a
corruption to the DCO 20 map introduced when resizing a mirrored volume having
no snapshot or detached-plex at the time of resize.
What to do
Install PHKL_43779 and PHCO_43824 which contains the fix.

During the removal of CDE-* bundles, you will see the following error in the rc.log
file after reboot:
After containment subsystem configuration is finished. The output from
"/sbin/rc2.d/S480sec_late_init start":
When CDE-* bundles are removed,
the "/sbin/rc2.d/
S480sec_late_init start"
script might fail
setfilexsec: warning: Ignored the entry for file
"/usr/dt/bin/dtsession": No such file or directory
ERROR CODE 1 "/sbin/rc2.d/S480sec_late_init start" FAILED
What to do
While installing the CDE-* bundles, privileges will be given to /usr/dt/bin/
dtsession through configure script. While removing the bundle, privileges are
not dropped for the same binary using unconfigure script as a result the error
occurs.
To avoid the error, run the following command after the removal of CDE-* locale
bundles:
setfilexsec –D /usr/dt/bin/dtsession
