There are no changes in the patch bits nor in any of the control scripts. Repost: 96/08/23 The patch documentation was modified to clarify the problem and the steps required to install the patch.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHNE_7839 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHNE_7839.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHNE_7839.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHNE_7839. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHNE_7839.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHNE_7839.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: WARNING!! DO NOT install this patch using the standard installation instruction. You must follow the steps below. Step 1. Download the PHNE_7839.depot to /tmp. Step 2. If loading from cdrom, mount the CD on /mnt: (Assume the disk device is c0t2d0) #mkdir /mnt #mount -t cdfs -S syslo /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /mnt Step 3. Install the original 100VG software from tape or cdrom. - Run swinstall - Make the Source Depot Path /mnt - Highlight the 100VG-AnyLAN software - Mark for Install - Choose Install from the Actions menu This process will install the software and rebuild the kernel.
