Solaris 7 Maintenance Update 1 Release Notes (SPARC Platform Edition)

Backing Out With backout_mu

To back out the Solaris 7 MU1 software on a diskless client or AutoClient from a server using backout_mu:

  1. Halt the diskless client or AutoClient.

  2. On the server, run the backout_mu script located in the local product directory, with the client's root directory as the argument.

    • From a local copy of the MU1 image that corresponds to the client platform, type:


      # cd local_directory
      # ./backout_mu -R /export/root/client_name
      

      where client_name is the hostname of the diskless client or AutoClient.

    • From the MU1 CD, mount the CD and type:


      # cd /cdrom/S7_maintenance_update_1_sparc
      # ./backout_mu -R /export/root/client_name
      

      where client_name is the hostname of the diskless client or AutoClient.

  3. Repeat this process for each diskless client or AutoClient being served.

  4. Back out the Solaris 7 MU1 software on the server's service area. From a local copy of the MU1 image that corresponds to the server platform, type:


    # cd local_directory
    ./backout_mu -S Solaris_2.7
    
  5. Boot the diskless client or AutoClient.
