To run the analyze_patches script, the installed system and the Solaris 9 DVD, Solaris 9 Software CDs, or net image must be accessible by the script either through NFS or locally mounted media.
Change to the Misc directory.
SPARC: If the image is located on locally mounted media, type:
# cd /cdrom/sol_9_Update_sparc/s0/Solaris_9/Misc |
In this command, Update is the actual Update identifier.
x86: If the image is located on locally mounted media, type:
# cd /cdrom/sol_9_Update_x86/s2/Solaris_9/Misc |
In this command, Update is the actual Update identifier.
If the image is available on an NFS file system, type:
# cd /NFS_mount_directory/Solaris_9/Misc |
Run the analyze_patches script:
# ./analyze_patches [[-R rootdir]] [[-N netdir]] [[-D databasedir]] |
-R rootdir |
rootdir is the root of the installed system. The default is /. |
-N netdir |
netdir is the path to the root of the OS image to be installed. The default is /cdrom/cdrom0. netdir is the path to the directory that contains the solaris_9 directory. You must use this option if you are running the patch_analyzer from an NFS mount point. |
-D databasedir |
If the script is invoked from a directory other than the Misc/ directory in the OS image, the program cannot find the database it uses for patch analysis. Use the -D option to supply the path to the database. Without this database, which is located in Solaris_9/Misc/database on the OS image, the script does not work properly. |
