Symptoms:
	PHSS_27450:
	Id = HSLco32002  SR: H555006949
	    SNAPA agent has poor resolving performance.

	Id = HSLco33554  SR: H555007503
	    debug.log file gets filled with messages:

	      "mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss  SNAPA.10149.0
	       ["<source file, version>":<line>] A.04.10 <VERSION>
	       [<function>] /dev/rdsk/c?t?d? is not a VA disk!"

	Id = HSLco35468  SR: H555008436
	    SNAPA agent abnormally ends while resolving backup
	    objects on application system.

	Id = HSLco35801  SR: H555008538
	    Backup using VA integration fails with:

	      "[Major] From: SNAPA@<hostname> ""
	       Time: mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
	       Failed to split the BC pair of LDEV
	       <ldev#>, SEQ# , MU#"

Defect Description:
	PHSS_27450:
	Id = HSLco32002
	    One of the API's called during resolving takes up
	    to 45 seconds to complete. Calling this API multiple
	    times causes poor performance.

	Resolution:
	    Resolving algorithm is improved.

	    Part of the SSPUX410_003.

	Id = HSLco33554
	    Every time SNAPA agent encounters non-VA disk during
	    resolving phase, a message is logged in debug.log file.

	Resolution:
	    Debug range for message is changed and the message is
	    not logged.

	Id = HSLco35468
	    When SNAPA agent tries to dump buffer containing
	    information about rawdisks and LUN's to session output,
	    it ends abnormally if buffer is too big.

	Resolution:
	    Information about rawdisks and LUN's is being dumped to
	    session output in pieces keeping the buffer within
	    prescribed size.

	    Part of SSPUX410_026.

	Id = HSLco35801
	    SNAPA agent parses the output of "vgdisplay -v <vgname>"
	    and collects logical volume names. It collects physical
	    volume name as well in environments where PVG's are
	    configured.

	Resolution:
	    Parsing is terminated when "PVG name" token is
	    encountered.
