        When cluster clients are installed "/opt/nettladm"
        directory becomes inaccessible.

Defect Description:
        PHNE_6505:
        While testing  cluster  updates (S800 server, S700
        clients),  a  swverify   operation   on  a  client
        revealed that the Networking.NETTL-ADM fileset was
        not    installed    on    the    client.   Further
        investigation   showed   that  the   /opt/nettladm
        directory  was not set up as a mount point, so the
        client could not access the files in this fileset.

        The "share_link" entry for "NETTL-ADM" fileset was
        missing from the  Networking  product  INDEX file.
        Because  of  which,  when   cluster   clients  are
        installed    "/opt/nettladm"   directory   becomes
        inaccessible

Installation Instructions:
        Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
        SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
        and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
        restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
        before installing this patch.
        ------------------------------------------------------------
        1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

        2. Login as root.

        3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

        4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

                cd /tmp
                sh PHNE_6505

        5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
            patch:

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHNE_6505.depot

        5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
            server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

                swcluster -i -b

            This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
            force all clients to be shut down.

            WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
                     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
                     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
                     serious problems.

            The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
            you must specify:

                alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
                source depot path    -  /tmp/PHNE_6505.depot

            To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
            "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
            from the Menubar.

        5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

                - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
                  the patch on the cluster server.

                - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
                  the patch on the cluster clients.  The cluster clients
                  must be shut down as described in step 5b.

        By default swinstall will archive the original software in
        /var/adm/sw/patch/PHNE_6505.  If you do not wish to retain a
        copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
        named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

        Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
                 patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
                 when using this feature.

        It is recommended that you move the PHNE_6505.text file to
        /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

        To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
        tape drive, use the command:

                dd if=/tmp/PHNE_6505.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k

Special Installation Instructions:
        Read  the   following   before   you   start   the
        installation process,

        1.  Make  sure  that the name of the  shared  root
            under  /export/shared_root,  which  is a  soft
            link to the root  directory  of the server, is
            "OS_700" on S700 and "OS_800" on S800.

        2.  Make sure  that  there is no other SD  utility
            running  on any of  the  shared  roots.  Patch
            installation  aborts at the analysis phase, if
            it encounters the above scenario.

        3.  If the  cluster  server's  primary OS is other
            than  10.10, has a shared  root which is 10.10
            and you would like to install this patch, then
            enable the  following  option for  'swinstall'
            utility,

            -x allow_incompatible=true

        4.  This patch can be  installed  only on  cluster
            server's   primary  root.  It  takes  care  to
            update  all the  clients  and  all the  shared
            roots.
