Adding pre-installation and post-installation scripts to SFHA hot fixes
You can create custom perl scripts to perform tasks that are required before and after installation of a Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) hot fix by Patch Installer Add-on. For example, you could create scripts to stop and restart your applications.
Note: Post-installation scripts are intended for use in cases where hot fixes do not require a reboot. In cases where hot fixes require a reboot, the post-installation script is not executed.
In the Management Server console, you can use Patch Installer Add-on to add the custom scripts to the SFHA hot fix. You add the scripts to customize the hot fix before deploying the hot fix to the hosts.
