Install the VxVM, VxFS, or ODM patch:
# cd patch_dir

want to install.
# swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -x \
autoreboot=true -s `pwd` patch_list

Restart the nodes:
# shutdown -r now
The nodes form a cluster after restarting and the applications that are
managed by VCS come online.

If there are applications that are not managed by VCS, start the applications
manually using native application commands.

If you need to apply updates to the base version of the operating system, perform
the steps in this section on each node of the cluster, one node at a time.
To apply operating system updates

directory:
# cd /opt/VRTS/install
2
Take the VCS service groups offline:
# hagrp -offline grp_name -sys node_name

Stop SF Oracle RAC:
# ./installsfrac -stop
