To Update the Solaris 9 x86 OS Distribution bootenv.rc File

Before You Begin

Reconfigure and restart NFS on the management server as described in To Reconfigure and Restart NFS on the Management Server.

1. Log in as root (su - root) on the management server server.

2. Change directory to /js/distro-id/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot/boot/solaris.

3. Type ln -s ../../tmp/root/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc . to re-create the bootenv.rc link.

   The Solaris OS 9 on x86 distribution is ready for deployment to x86 manageable server.

Troubleshooting

If you want to patch another distribution, you might have to delete the /patch/117172-17 directory and re-create it using the unzip 117172-17.zip command. When the first distribution is patched, the patchadd command makes a change to the directory that causes problems with the next patchadd command execution.

This patch is not needed for the Solaris 9 update 8 build 5 OS.
