Martin is correct here, and I believe that the HFA process will not replace
.def files that are modified by the HFA. They are placed in the directory
with base.def.hfa and require a manual rename of the files so that this type
of issue doesn't cause problems. I know this for a fact in R55/R60, but in
FP3, you'd have to check the release notes.
Also, you might want to get an mds_backup of your managers/containers and
then do a restore just to make sure that you've got a good backup. This
will also allow you to apply the HFA and see what it does in your
environment. I know the first complaint would be that you don't have any
hardware that matches the current 8GB RAM/500GB disk ;) but you can perform
the mds_restore and start the MDS/CMAs manually.
