To run the analyze_patches script:
To run the analyze_patches script, the installed system and the Solaris 7 3/99 CD (or net image) must be accessible by the script either through an NFSTM mount or using locally mounted media.
Change directories to the Misc directory on the OS image.
If the image is on locally mounted media, type:
# cd /cdrom/sol_7_399_x86/s2/Solaris_2.7/Misc |
If the image is available through an NFS mount, type:
# cd /NFS_mount_directory/Solaris_2.7/Misc |
Run the analyze_patches script:
# ./analyze_patches |
The options listed in Table 1-1 can be used on the command line.
Table 1-1 Command-Line Options for analyze_patches
Option |
Description |
---|---|
-R rootdir |
rootdir is the root of the installed system. It defaults to /. |
-N netdir |
netdir is the path to the root of the OS image to be installed. It defaults to /cdrom/cdrom0. It should point to the directory containing the Solaris_2.7 directory. You must use this option if running the patch_analyzer from an NFS mount. |
-D databasedir |
If the script is invoked from a directory other than the /Misc directory on the OS image, the program will not find the database it uses for patch analysis. Use the -D option to supply the path to the database. Without this database, contained in the /Solaris_2.7/Misc/database on the OS image, the script will not work properly. |
