How to Support Incompatible Client Operating System Versions

1. Combine the architecture type with a variable that determines the operating system type of the client.

   You can combine the autofs OSREL variable with the CPU variable to form a name that determines both CPU type and OS release.

2. Create the following map entry.

   bin aa:/export/local/bin/$CPU$OSREL

   For clients running version 5.6 of the operating system, export the following file systems:

   • For SPARC clients - Export /export/local/bin/sparc5.6.

   • For IA clients - Place executables in /export/local/bin/i3865.6.
