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

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.
