WHAT IS FIXED IN THIS PATCH?
######################################################################

When running Array Manager version 3.5 and the OpenManage Server 
Administrator Diagnostic Service packaged with Dell Systems Management
CD version 3.8, the Diagnostic Service may not function reliably. 

This patch resolves the conflict between Array Manager and the OpenManage
Server Administrator Diagnostic Service.


######################################################################
HOW THE PATCH WORKS 
######################################################################

The patch installer stops the "Secure Port Server" Service (if it is 
installed and running) and deletes the diagframework.dll file located
in the Array Manager install folder.

After the file is deleted, the patch installer restarts the Secure Port
Server Service.

######################################################################
WHAT THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS
######################################################################

The download package contains the following file: 

  diagpatch.exe - Windows patch installer executable.

######################################################################

On a Microsoft Windows system:

1. Extract (unzip) the download package to a temporary directory. 
   The default is c:\patch350

   directory to which you unzipped the files.

3. The following options are available:	

   (a) diagpatch [no options]
       Prompts the user to continue, stops the Secure Port Server

       service.

   (b) diagpatch /?

       Restarts the Secure Port Server service after the patch is
       applied in silent mode.
