To Compare Boot Environments (Command-Line Interface)

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Type:

   # /usr/sbin/lucompare -i  infile (or) -t -o  outfile BE_name

   -i  infile

   Compare files that are listed in infile. The files to be compared should have absolute file names. If the entry in the file is a directory, then comparison is recursive to the directory. Use either this option or -t, not both.

   -t

   Compare only nonbinary files. This comparison uses the file(1) command on each file to determine if the file is a text file. Use either this option or -i, not both.

   -o  outfile

   Redirect the output of differences to outfile.

   BE_name

   Specifies the name of the boot environment that is compared to the active boot environment.

Example 7–2 Comparing Boot Environments (Command-Line Interface)

In this example, first_disk boot environment (source) is compared to second_disk boot environment and the results are sent to a file.

# /usr/sbin/lucompare -i  /etc/lu/compare/ \
-o /var/tmp/compare.out second_disk
